This magnificent Magnolia is large and conical in shape, producing lemon-yellow, goblet-shaped flowers in late spring, just as the leaves emerge. The foliage is dark green in colour and contrasts well with the flowers, fading to yellowy brown in autumn. Magnolia x brooklynensis 'Yellow Bird' will tolerate sun and part shade if grown in a neutral to acidic soil in a sheltered position. Height: 5m (16'). Spread: 3m (10'). Please note: When grown as a patio standard, the height and spread will be much smaller, reaching around 1.8m (6'). Culinary note: The young flowers, once separated, can be pickled and then used either on their own as a treat or in salads. For more details about edible flowers click here.Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only. Useful Links: How to grow magnolias How to prune magnolias

Excellent value, I bought 3. I just hope the one I gave to my sister starts to produce new growth, the other two have. All 3 had a good root ball, si I guess I'll just have to be a bit more patient. X
