Yellow Magnolias from Junker's Nursery (49)

	MAGNOLIA 'Big Dude' (M. sprengeri 'Diva' x M. x soulangeana 'Picture') Although completely unrelated, it is reminiscent of M. sargentiana var. robusta, with an upright but spreading growth habit and very large nodding flowers, up to 35cm across, with 9-12 tepals which are fragrant and rose pink outside, white within. Open-ground Specimens only this season - please ask for size and price details.

	MAGNOLIA 'Brenda' This selection from M. acuminata var. subcordata has amazing brilliant golden flowers; they make up for their size deficit (7-8cm) by the intensity of their colour. A slow growing, compact tree. Specimens only this season - please ask for size and price details.

NEW	MAGNOLIA x brooklynensis 'Black Beauty' (M. acuminata x M. liliiflora) Open-ground Specimens only this season - please ask for size and price details.

	MAGNOLIA x brooklynensis 'Hattie Carthan' (M. x brooklynensis 'Evamaria' x M. x brooklynensis #209) The neat yellow flowers are noticeably highlighted by purple veins ascending from the base of the tepals. As is typical of this group, it is late flowering (at much the same time as the leaves unfurl) thus avoiding the worst of the frosts. Potentially a large tree, and satisfyingly fast growing. From £33.00

	MAGNOLIA 'Butterbowl' ([M.‘Yellow Bird’ x M.‘Sundance’] x M.‘Yellow Dance’) A Belgian selection, having small but fleshy, broad-tepalled flowers of a unique orange-yellow colour which retain their shape for a long period. A tidy, handsome small tree. From £35.00 Specimens also available - please ask for size and price details.

	MAGNOLIA 'Butterflies' (M. acuminata x M. denudata 'Sawada's Cream') I am so excited to be offering good plants of this recent American introduction. One of the problems is that it is "patented" in America, so you need a license to propagate it. These plants are actually produced by micropropagation which gives us the best of both worlds. They are on their own roots so suckering won't be problem, but they should still flower from an early age. Not available this season - however there are many other yellow-flowered Magnolia now which are as good. If you don't have the energy to rummage through our collection, drop me an e-mail detailing the type of effect you want and I will make some suggestions.

	MAGNOLIA 'Caerhays Belle' (M. sargentiana var. robusta x M. sprengeri 'Diva') Large clear pink flowers, like those of M. campbellii which open to huge bowls. Attractive upright and spreading branches. 5m. Will give best results in a favoured part of the country - early flowering, the gorgeous flowers are susceptible to frost damage. Not available this season

	MAGNOLIA 'Caerhays Surprise' (M. campbellii var. mollicomata x M. liliiflora 'Nigra') From a 1959 cross made at Caerhays Castle, Cornwall, this lovely hybrid produces rosy lavender flowers from bright violet red buds. The outer petals are reflexed, giving the blooms a somewhat star- shaped appearance. 4m Not available this season

	MAGNOLIA campbellii 'Darjeeling' The original tree is in the Darjeeling Botanic Gardens, India. It is often confused with 'Betty Jessel' since the flowers are a dark rose to wine red colour. It forms a strong upright tree with a rounded crown to 8m. One of the deepest coloured campbellii selections. From £35.00

	MAGNOLIA campbellii 'Kew's Surprise' This wonderful seedling of 'Charles Raffill' produces large flowers which are crimson rose outside and white inside. Their cup and saucer shape is typical of the var. mollicomata parentage. Free flowering to 6m. Not available this season

	MAGNOLIA campbellii subsp. mollicomata 'Lanarth' M. campbellii subsp. mollicomata 'Lanarth' Absolutely one of the classic magnolias, it was raised from seed sent from Yunnan Province in China in 1924 by the renowned plant hunter George Forrest. The cup and saucer shaped flowers, so typical of the species, are a unique shade, variously described as “cyclamen pink”, “vintage port” or “lilac-purple-red”. Sold Out

	MAGNOLIA campbellii 'Sir Harold Hillier' The aristocrat of all our Magnolias - if you have the space and the foresight to plant for your children, then this is the Magnolia for you. This selected white form of the classic early flowering species is truly beautiful in favoured locations. Not available this season

	MAGNOLIA 'Candy Cane' Nine erect tepals in three whorls, make up the flowers of this Gresham hybrid of unknown parentage, where each whorl has a distinct coloration. The outer whorl is also somewhat reduced. Outer tepals are rose at base fading to white at tip, with a rose stripe running from base to tip. The middle whorl of tepals has similar coloration, but slightly darker. The inner whorl is even deeper rose-purple at the base. Specimens only this season - please ask for size and price details.

	MAGNOLIA 'Carlos' Another fabulous yellow; an Eisenhut seedling selected by Philippe de Spoelberch. It flowers very late in the spring, just as the leaves are unfurling, thus avoiding the frosts. Specimens only this season - please ask for size and price details.

	MAGNOLIA 'Chameleon' Correctly called M. 'Chang Hua'. This has an upright flower which is almost tulip shaped. Predominantly white, the outside is prettily flushed with pink, particularly at the base and mid-rib. Lightly fragrant too. Specimens only this season - please ask for size and price details.

	MAGNOLIA 'Charles Coates' (M. sieboldii x M. tripetala) A superb hybrid between 2 summer flowering species. The creamy white flowers in May-June have distinctive crumpled petals and a conspicuous boss of red stamens in the centre, so typical of the group. Deliciously scented too. Specimens only this season - please ask for size and price details.

NEW	MAGNOLIA 'China Town' (more correctly called M. 'Jing Ning') From £35.00

	MAGNOLIA 'Columbus' (M. denudata x M. x veitchii 'Peter Veitch') Potentially a large tree, this Magnolia has a lovely history. Although bred at the US National Arboretum, it was selected by the late John Bond, then Keeper of the Gardens at Windsor. He named it to mark the 500th Anniversary of Columbus' voyage, with oblique reference to the Magnolia's cross Atlantic journey also! It freely produces large cup-shaped white flowers. Our original material was kindly given to us by John Bond from the original plant. Open-ground Specimens only this season - please ask for size and price details.

	MAGNOLIA 'Coral Lake' (M. 'Legend’ x M. 'Butterflies’) The large rather upright flowers have 11 tepals and open to 17.5cm across. A blend of pinks shades to vertical yellow stripes on the outside, all paler within. Although it flowers late in the season, they usually open before the leaves expand. It is however, very hardy and frost tolerant. Relatively vigorous, but distinctly upright habit. Specimens only this season - please ask for size and price details.

	MAGNOLIA 'Crystal Chalice' (M. x soulangeana ‘Lennei’ x M. sprengeri ‘Diva’) The white flowers of this Maurice Foster selection have a very elegant form, opening into a shapely bowl. Specimens only this season - please ask for size and price details.

	MAGNOLIA 'Cup Cake' (M. x soulangeana ‘Lennei Alba’ x M. x veitchii) Another Gresham hybrid; this one has fragrant creamy white flowers 30cm across, each highlighted by an inner pink disc and a prominent boss of stamens. From £35.00 Specimens also available - please ask for size and price details.

	MAGNOLIA cylindrica 'Bjuv' A medium sized tree to 9m, M. cylindrica is noted particularly for the seed pods which open to reveal shining orange seeds. The white flowers in April-May are actually fragrant at night. There has been much confusion over nomenclature of various seedlings distributed over the years, so it is good to have a recognised cultivar to ensure the integrity of the species. Specimens only this season - please ask for size and price details.
