Caerhays Belle (Magnolia ‘Caerhays Belle’)

Posted on April 6, 2012 by Lucile Whitman

Caerhays Belle is a tricky tree here; it has one of the most beautiful flowers of any of those that I grow, but it is really early and a hard freeze in the spring knocks it right out. Matt Lobdell’s photo totally captures CB’s seductiveness.

Burncoose (Magnolia ‘Burncoose’)

Posted on April 6, 2012 by Lucile Whitman

magburncoose
A seedling of ‘Diva’, sprengeri ‘Burncoose’ isn’t quite as large a tree, but the flowers are bigger and deeper pink. The one small problem is that a late spring frost will zap them.
