Broadacre Estate

This plant has been propagated by layering from an existing tree.  The latter has had a long journey but is finally becoming mature in the winter garden, next to the cottage.  It was planted by my father many years ago but moved by my mother (when dad was off on a walking/photography trip) to be in "her corner" where she liked to sit and read.  It didn't like being moved and took years to recover.

This newly planted descendant will be visible from the house, looking across the ponds.  Under good condition Magnolia grandiflora grows to a height of more than 25m and has flowers up to 30cm across.​
