Magnolia Koban Dori

Magnolia Koban Dori Details

Magnolia acuminata Koban Dori is a deciduous tree grown for its fragrant flowers and great form. It bears masses of large and showy, bright yellow flowers in early spring, just as the foliage emerges. The emerging leaves are bright green, age to a darker green, then develop yellow tones in autumn before falling. It typically grows to 5 m tall and 4 m wide, and can be contained and shaped with trimming. This variety grows best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site, and is tolerant of frost and cool climates. Magnolia Koban Dori is commonly grown as a specimen, added to a mixed planting in a larger garden, included in cottage gardens, or used to border an entrance or driveway. The beauty of this tree will please no matter where it is planted.
