Magnolia ‘Tina Durio’

Magnolia hybrid

The deciduous tree stands out for its robust growth and breathtaking floral display. Each early spring, it unveils large, fragrant flowers in a unique cup-and-saucer shape, measuring around 25-30 cm across, showcasing pristine white petals with a delicate pink blush at their base. With a broad and upright form, it can reach an impressive height and width of about 8 meters. This tree flourishes best in areas that receive full sun to partial shade and prefers rich, well-drained soil that is slightly acidic to neutral. In Melbourne’s climate, choosing a sheltered spot will help protect its early blossoms from late frosts, ensuring a stunning spring show.
