Mulch to 75mm across the whole root area and never dig or cultivate beneath the tree, since the fleshy surface roots are easily damaged. Choose a position sheltered from strong wind so the large flowers are not bruised as they open.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003ePlant Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 to 6m in twenty years, potentially 8m with age\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 to 4m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deciduous\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to part shade\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNative to:\u003c\/strong\u003e A garden hybrid raised in New Zealand\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep rose red, paler within\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nursery Direct","offers":[{"title":"400mm","offer_id":59795306578206,"sku":"ND-1138-400MM","price":800.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"45L","offer_id":59795306610974,"sku":"ND-1138-45L","price":800.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"200L","offer_id":59795306643742,"sku":"ND-1138-200L","price":3912.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/2536\/8862\/files\/LAf4VVgSrfr7W1Z1b2deI_ExBcsAck.jpg?v=1787313181","url":"https:\/\/nurserydirect.com.au\/products\/magnolia-felix","provider":"Nursery Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
