Magnoliaceae

Magnolia 'Galaxy' Magnolia 'Galaxy'

Medium-size tree, initially with a regular, ovoid crown and a straight central leader. The crown later becomes almost round, with an eventual height of about 9 m. The flower buds only develop in spring, so they cannot freeze in the winter. The large flowers open around late April. The flower buds are a deep reddish purple. The opened flowers are deep pinkish purple on the outside and clearly lighter on the inside. They retain a narrow tulip shape for a long time, but eventually open to a broad saucer shape. Good tree for use in housing estates and on squares, thanks also to the pronounced colours and profuse blossoming.
