Having fallen in love with the true deep pink flowers of Magnolia sprengeri
var diva "Lanhydrock" whilst visiting the Savill Garden recently I wonder if
any of you know the final size of this tree, something I have been unable to
ascertain.
I'm looking for one that has a single stem and will not exceed, say, 30ft
tall with a spread of 20ft, but it must have the true deep pink flowers of
the above variety.
(I don't like the normal purply tinged pink ones, sorry)

Also, recommendations for supplier?


In addition to Sacha's suggestions, try Burncoose Nurseries. Their
catalogue lists over 100 species and varieties, and they also do mail
order.
