Magnolia Strawberry Fields is a stunning hybrid between Magnolia Spectrum and Magnolia Vulcan. This deciduous tree is known for its bright strawberry-red flowers that create a striking visual impact in any garden. Growing up to 6 metres in ten years, this strong, upright tree is a superb addition to various garden styles.

Magnolia Strawberry Fields is an excellent choice for those looking to add vibrant colour and structure to their garden. Its large, vibrant, strawberry-red flowers appear in early spring, creating a focal point that suits both cottage and formal garden designs. The tree's columnar shape and upright growth make it an ideal street tree, adding elegance and charm to urban landscapes.

This magnolia thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Ensure the soil remains consistently moist, particularly during dry spells, to support healthy growth and prolific flowering. Allow adequate spacing for its mature size, typically reaching 6 metres in height and 3-4 metres in width, to ensure it has room to flourish.

In the garden, Magnolia Strawberry Fields is best planted in sheltered positions, protected from strong winds that can damage the delicate flowers. It begins to flower from an early age and has a long flowering period from late winter to spring. Its attractive pink-red blooms, shaped like large stars, provide a prolonged display of colour.

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. 

What are the benefits? 

• Less packaging and plastic waste involved in growing process and transportation. 
• 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.
