I've been thinking about trying one of those here in Southwest Michigan. Also interested in the bigleaf magnolia (Magnolia macrophylla) which is semi-deciduous and supposedly zone 5 hardy.
@mattanderson3452 You definitely should try one. I'd recommend a hardy version like this one or brackens brown beauty and definitely spring plant it. The big leaf is a cool one too. I planted 3 small ones on my property 2 years ago. That one should be completely deciduous though.
@mattanderson3452 I haven't done a video because they're so tiny, maybe a foot tall tops. I find all Magnolias native to North America transplant horribly and go through severe transplant shock, especially bare root which these orginally were. It's too bad you're in Michigan because I do have one potted up I could give you, but the border non sense would be a nightmare!
@@nativeandunusualplants3582 Yeah, luckily they're not hard to find online here in the US. I've never had any success with bare root trees in general, the last one I planted died within a week of being planted so I've basically just stopped buying them. I've never lost a potted one, even the white spruce I planted during a heat wave in July.
Wonderful!
Thanks so much for the update. The foliage looks like it is wonderful condition and flower is spectacular.
@crataeguscrusgalli You're welcome and thanks for watching!
Wow so early ! You don't have to wait 10 years wow
@@fredericmarcil685 I was definitely surprised!

@@nativeandunusualplants3582 Interesting, I didn't know you had any of the big leaf magnolias. Is there a video of those?
