In springtime, flower buds appear from velvety casings
on bare branches. The long, narrow petals open first as a
goblet shape and then as star shaped flowers. Mid-green,
oval leaves follow the flowers and in autumn turn shades
of yellow.
Magnolia x loebneri is a hybrid of Magnolia kobus and
Magnolia stellata, crossed in the early 1900’s by German,
Max Löbner. The first flower appeared in 1917. Like most
Magnolias, this species does best on acid soil however it
is also tolerant of chalk.
Magnolia x loebneri is available from Deepdale Trees as
a standard, multistem or pleached tree.
