Hi, *I have a Magnolia grandiflora I planted some years ago, it grows
well in the summer, but looses all its leaves in the winter and the stem
dies back almost to the ground because of the cold winters here in
mid-Wales. Can I grow it up the wall of the house for shelter or will it
get too big or damage the house foundations? and is it ever likely to
flower in this climate? Alternatively, would planting it in a sheltered
wooded area be any good or should I give up trying to grow this plant
completely?

I have one (Herefordshire) does OK. Damage, depends on the
construction/depth of your foundations. Some are virtually immune
some are easily damaged.
