No M Campbellii this year
Very sad. Ray's Magnolia Campbellii ( he refers to it it as his
'memorial' planted during his lifetime!) has been frost blasted. A couple of buds were just starting to open but this took the full force of gales and cold and every one has turned black and shrivelled. It's a sorry sight but a sort of illustration of this cold spring. ;-( -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

Last weekend, in Palmerston Park in the centre of Southampton, there was a 30 ft+ Magnolia campbellii in full flower. It looked magnificent. As far as I could tell, there was no frost damage at all. -- Jeff |

There were a couple of really lovely Magnolias in flower at Trewithen when we went. They looked magnificent. A customer came in a few days later and said there wasn't a petal left on them - the wind has blasted the lot. Our other Magnolias seem fine but this particular one is on a corner by the lane and takes the full force of any wind blasting up towards us. It has no shelter from surrounding growth so if there's a frost, it gets hit. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |
