MAGNOLIA 'Petit Chicon'
|
Hybridized/Introduced By: Cutting from Karl Flinck at Bjuv, Sweden. Cross probably made by Savage. de Spoelberch/Camelbeke Parentage: acuminata X denudata
Description: Earliest yellow flowering magnolia, 6-12 days earlier than 'Elizabeth', and flowering for approx. 30 days. Pale yellow flowers open completely and remain star like for several days, well before any leaves appear. Before opening, the flower resembles a young Belgian endive; hence the French name petit chicon. http://www.arboretumwespelaar.be/
