Flowering on naked wood is the whole point of these magnolias: the tree becomes a piece of sculpture for two or three weeks, then settles into a quiet, broad-leaved backdrop for the rest of the year. It is a slow, structural plant that repays being given a sheltered, well-considered position rather than being squeezed into a windy corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Pink Pearl Magnolia\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBare-Wood Flowering\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blooms open before the foliage, so nothing competes with them visually.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Substance\u003c\/strong\u003e: The petals are thick and waxy, which gives the display more weight and rain resistance than most early blossom.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBranch Architecture\u003c\/strong\u003e: Smooth grey limbs and fat silvery flower buds give the tree presence through the bare winter months.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRestrained Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: It stays a small to medium tree, so it can sit close to a house or courtyard without becoming a problem.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCool Climate Suitability\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reliable across Victoria, Tasmania, the southern tablelands, the Adelaide Hills and the cooler parts of Perth and Sydney.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCourtyard specimen\u003c\/strong\u003e: A single tree in a paved or lawn courtyard where the winter flowering can be seen from indoors.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLawn feature\u003c\/strong\u003e: Set in open turf the spreading crown and pale flowers carry from a distance.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgainst a dark backdrop\u003c\/strong\u003e: Planted in front of a hedge or dark wall the pink flowers read far more strongly.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEntry or arrival planting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gives a defined seasonal moment at a front gate or driveway turning circle.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 to 4m, though it is not a natural screening plant\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 to 6m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Planting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late autumn to late winter while dormant\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep, moist, humus rich and free draining, slightly acid to neutral, never waterlogged and never dry limestone\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstablishment Care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Magnolias root shallowly, so keep a wide mulch ring and avoid cultivating or planting beneath the canopy.
