Another wonderful magnolia from the renowned New Zealand breeder Mark Jury, this white-flowering evergreen produces its flowers along the stems (not just at the tips), so you get masses of flowers. The main flowering period is spring, however it is not uncommon to have them appear off and on right through summer and into autumn. A very beautiful specimen, they are also great for hedging as they do not mind being clipped back. It may be worth pointing out that in colder winters it may shed most (if not all) of its foliage.
