CONNOISSEURS VARIETY.

A remarkable select variety of magnolia, of neat upright habit and bright apple green deciduous foliage. Striking kingfisher blue flower buds opening to canary yellow blooms, during April to mid-May. 

Planting: Choose a spot which is away from a frost pocket and is sheltered from northerly and easterly winds. Make sure that your chosen site is large enough, as some magnolias grow quite large. Any reasonable garden soil will be suitable, but many varieties dislike chalky soils. Add plenty of peat or soil improver to the soil and avoid planting too deeply.

Pruning: Not necessary, but remove any dead wood or unwanted branches after flowering.

    Good quality plants, well packaged for delivery. I have purchased from them before. There was a day's delay in the most recent delivery. It would be good to have messages giving despatch and delivery information.
