Thanks very much.

A couple of young leaf shoots are OK, so I will see whether it picks
up. It may have been grown under cover, and so have been more tender
than a naturally grown plant would have been.

A definite possibility. ;-) We bought a Magnolia wiesneri a few years ago
which Ray gentled on in one of the polytunnels for two years before planting
it out.
