Magnolia Stellata

thats very pretty Amy

Thanks yorkshire ,it's only 3 years old and was very tiny it's just beginning to a nice shrub .. :-)

I bought one this year so hopefully in three years time I will have flowers too,

I'm sure you will , mine was only from Woolworths I think it was only a few inches tall you have probably got a head start on that :o)

mine is about 3ft tall, £4.95 from the Yorkshire Post Newspaper

This is the same as mine, Amy, but your flower doesn't seem as 'raggedty' as mine! I bought mine about 5-6 years ago and its only about 3ft tall but has flowered well this year.

Hello Amy... lovely pure white :o)

Yours will be romping ahead then Yorkshire mines hardly 3ft now !
Maybe the growing conditions make a difference Gee , I can see my neighbours over the ditch ,it is a picture , huge like an apple tree loaded with blooms I must ask him how old it is :o)

Thanks TT :o)

Looking good i have some just poking there heads out now

Lovely so fresh and star like;0)

They will soon be in full bloom Mushy :-) They stand out more Carole because there aren't any leaves to hide them, it really shows them off !

Lovely Amy. I've had mine about ten years and its barely two feet tall. Always has flowers though. I daren't move it as I dont think they like being disturbed. Its quite open where it is, should have set it against a protecting wall or fence I guess.

Beautiful Amy love these.

Golly Dawn , I didn't realise they were that slow growing, mine is planted at the back of a border where I was hoping it would grow as a background tree/shrub .
I wouldn't risk moving yours if it's 10 years old it would be a shame to lose it .........

Thanks 6p they are lovely :o)

Im sure yours will do better than mine Amy. Mine isnt in the best of soils and has no protection .... poor thing. Got another one now though for my new garden M. Stellata Royal Star - should reach 1.5m at maturity.

You're not allowed that one it's not on your list ..lol... x

Hahahaha Amy, its set anyway next to Magnolia soulangeana.

One of my fave shrubs....such a beauty....can't grow it here though. Another smashing pic Amy.

O.k Dawn , I'll let you off this time ..LOL...
That's a shame Janey , never mind we can only fit so much in .. :o)

Oh smashing, have bought another this year as the "stick" we had before died lol bought it from Morrisons it is about 15ins high, no flowers this year, perhaps next year? hope it looks like yours.

It will Dd, isn't it annoying when they die on you apparently they don't like chalk if that's any help :o)

Lovely
