Deciduous Magnolias are really hitting their straps right now and although cultivars and species such as Magnolia Denudata and Magnolia Stellata are well known it is the new releases that we are exited about.
For many years Jury is name that has been associated with Magnolia breeding in New Zealand and indeed around the world. Over recent years 3 new releases have caught our attention, Magnolia 'Felix', Magnolia 'Black Tulip' and Magnolia 'Vulcan' Three magnificent new deciduous Magnolias that all make great feature trees. Magnolia 'Felix' is pictured left. With flower sizes up to 30cm across this is a truly spectacular cultivar. 'Black Tulip has much darker flowers and they are tight in formation, yes they look like great big round tulips. The flowers last longer on 'Black Tulip' because of this.
So if you are looking for deciduous magnolias now is a great time to find them in flower at your local nursery. Check out our Magnolia Nurseries page for specialist Magnolia Nurseries.
