Magnolia Hot Flash - Bare-Rooted

Magnolia Hot Flash is a striking deciduous tree known for its reliable and prolific display of rich yellow flowers each spring. This hybrid magnolia is one of the most dependable yellow varieties, producing masses of large, showy flowers just as the foliage begins to emerge. The deep yellow blooms typically appear before the leaves, providing a stunning floral display early in the season.

Magnolia has a very fast growth rate. It can be easily maintained with regular trimming. This versatile tree is perfect as a specimen plant, in mixed plantings, cottage gardens, avenue plantings, or as a backdrop for smaller plants. Its vibrant flowers and robust growth make it an excellent choice for adding a splash of color to various garden settings.

For optimal growth, Magnolia Hot Flash should be planted in full sun to partial shade in well-drained, slightly acidic soil enriched with organic matter. Regular watering is essential, particularly during the establishment period and dry spells. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and maintain soil temperature. Minimal pruning is required, but any shaping should be done after flowering to avoid removing next year's buds.

Mature size typically reaches 8m tall and 3.5m wide.

What is a bare-rooted tree?

Bare-rooted trees are deciduous trees that have been grown in the ground and are dug up when they've become dormant in the winter. The soil is shaken from their roots and they are bundled up with their roots packed in moist material to prevent dehydration during transport.

• Plant has more root mass as the roots have not been constricted and twisted by a pot.
• They are easier to carry and plant as they are extremely lightweight.
• Bare-rooted trees are cheaper as they do not come with soil and pots. 
• Planting bare-rooted trees in the winter follows the natural pattern of the seasons.
