Kobushi Magnolia

Ornamental tree to grow in woody areas or as singular tree in a garden. Tolerates pollution. Medium-fast growing.

Deciduous tree growing up to 20m with white, pink-spotted flowers with a nice scent. Oval leaves with pointed end. Little bright red seeds.

Tolerates acid soils prefering rich and well drained soils.

Depending on the geographical areas and altitude sowing can take place from February to April. To obtain a more regular and faster germination stratify in cold the seeds for 4-5 months before the sowing at temperatures of 18ºC/20ºC. It is possible to use a sowing substrate for potting or soil from the garden together with a sowing substrate if the sowing is made directly into the garden. The substrate must be wet but not soggy until the germination is completed.
