Weeks, Dendrologist Department of Forestry and Natural Resources Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907 This publication is available in color at http://www.ces.purdue.edu/extmedia/fnr.htm Introduction When most Midwesterners think of a magnolia, images of the grand, evergreen southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora) (Figure 1) usually come to mind. Even those familiar with magnolias tend to think of them as occurring only in the South, where a more moderate climate prevails. Seven species do indeed thrive, especially in the southern Appalachian Mountains. But how many Hoosiers know that there are two native species Figure 2. Cucumber magnolia when planted will grow well throughout Indiana. In Charles Deam’s Trees of Indiana, the author reports “it doubtless occurred in all or nearly all of the counties in southern Indiana south of a line drawn from Franklin to Knox counties.” It was mainly found as a scattered, woodland tree and considered very local. Today, it is known to occur in only three small native populations and is listed as State Endangered Figure 1.

  • Magnolia X Soulangiana Saucer Magnolia1 Edward F
    Fact Sheet ST-386 October 1994 Magnolia x soulangiana Saucer Magnolia1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION Saucer Magnolia is a multi-stemmed, spreading tree, 25 feet tall with a 20 to 30-foot spread and bright, attractive gray bark (Fig. 1). Growth rate is moderately fast but slows down considerably as the tree reaches about 20-years of age. Young trees are distinctly upright, becoming more oval, then round by 10 years of age. Large, fuzzy, green flower buds are carried through the winter at the tips of brittle branches. The blooms open in late winter to early spring before the leaves, producing large, white flowers shaded in pink, creating a spectacular flower display. However, a late frost can often ruin the flowers in all areas where it is grown. This can be incredibly disappointing since you wait 51 weeks for the flowers to appear. In warmer climates, the late- flowering selections avoid frost damage but some are less showy than the early-flowered forms which blossom when little else is in flower. GENERAL INFORMATION Scientific name: Magnolia x soulangiana Figure 1. Middle-aged Saucer Magnolia. Pronunciation: mag-NO-lee-uh x soo-lan-jee-AY-nuh Common name(s): Saucer Magnolia DESCRIPTION Family: Magnoliaceae USDA hardiness zones: 5 through 9A (Fig. 2) Height: 20 to 25 feet Origin: not native to North America Spread: 20 to 30 feet Uses: container or above-ground planter; espalier; Crown uniformity: irregular outline or silhouette near a deck or patio; shade tree; specimen; no proven Crown shape: round; upright urban tolerance Crown density: open Availability: generally available in many areas within Growth rate: medium its hardiness range 1.

They also provide new examples of phenotypic plasticity in plants. The type of perforation plate in vessel members is one of the most relevant features for taxonomic studies. InMagnolia , until now, two types of perforation plates have been reported: the conservative, scalariform and the specialized, simple one. In this paper, are presented some findings, new to magnolia wood science, like exclusively simple perforation plates in some species or mixed perforation plates – simple and scalariform in one vessel member. Intravascular pitting is another taxonomically important trait of vascular tissue. Interesting transient states between different patterns of pitting in one cell only have been found. This proves great flexibility of mechanisms, which elaborate cell wall structure in maturing trache- ary element. The comparison of this data with phylogenetic trees, based on the fossil records and plastid gene expression, clearly shows that there is a link between the type of perforation plate and the degree of evolutionary specialization within Magnolia genus.

  • Hardy Magnolias for the North Dennis Ledvina
    ISSUE 77 MAGNOUA Hardy magnolias for the north Dennis Ledvina I have been growing magnolias since the late 7os in Green Bay, WI, which is located on the border of vsoA zones 4 and 3. Our tempera- tures have dropped to -28'F (-33'c) during the winter of 1994, —26 F (-32'c) during the winter of 1996, ancl —22 F (— 3o'c) during the winter of zooo. The month of January 1994 was the third coldest month ever recorded in Green Bay weather history. On one day that month, the maximum temperature never got above —18F' (— 28'c), the lowest dai- ly maximum ever recorded. Some factors contributing to magnolia hardiness that I have observed over the years are: ~ A gradual hardening off period in the fall and early winter is of ut- most importance. A temperature of o'F (— 18'c). in early November will be more devastating then -25 F (-32 c) in the middle of winter. Early cold in November of zooo caused trunk cracks on some of the more tender magnolias. Cracks are generally found on hybrids with M. campbelli, M. sprengeri, M. denudnta, and M. SargentiIIna genes in their parentage. It is essential that fertilization of magnolias be done only in late fall or early spring to prevent late summer growth and ensure that the magnolias harden off properly. ~ Extremes in temperatures in a short duration of time is very harm- ful to magnolias. In this area we seldom have winter temperatures of 3o-6o'F (so-s3. 3'c) followed by below zero temperatures.

  • MAGNOLIA Genus Overview Magnolia Is a Large and Diverse
    MAGNOLIA Genus Overview Magnolia is a large and diverse genus named by Linnaeus in honor of French botanist Pierre Magnol. In an evolutionary sense, it is an extremely old group of plants with fossil records dating back about 95 million years. Having evolved before bees and other flying insects, the flowers of magnolias are actually adapted for pollination by beetles that are attracted by sweet substances produced in the flowers. Another primitive trait is evident in their lack of true petals. The large “petals” of Magnolias are actually termed tepals. Also seen in tulips, these are more akin to modified leaves that cannot be visually distinguished from the other lower parts of the flower, or calyx. Magnolias are found across the Northern Hemisphere with disjunct populations in eastern North, Central and South America and the West Indies. The largest concentration of species is found in eastern and southeastern Asia. The genus has been cultivated for centuries and has given us numerous ornamental species, cultivars and hybrids. Most of these are known for their dazzling springtime display of flowers in shades of white, pink and yellow. Recent molecular analysis has lead taxonomists to combine the closely related genera Michelia and Manglietia with Magnolia, thus greatly increasing the number of recognized species. Over 100 examples of Magnolia species and cultivars are currently in residence at the UDBG. 1: Magnolia virginiana Sweetbay Magnolia enjoys an extensive natural range, occurring with relative frequency from coastal Long Island, NY and New Jersey to Southern Florida and across the gulf coast to Eastern Texas. Interestingly, the species boasts two disjunct populations in both its extreme northerly and southerly haunts.

  • Issue 67 03-15 Studies on Magnolia
    ISSUE 67 MACNOUA Studies On Magnolia Delavayi and Its Natural Forms Sun Weibang, Kong Fancai, and Luo GUIyen Background Franchet named Magnolia delavayi in 1889 based on the specimen collected in China in 1886 by the French missionary, Pere Jean M. Delavay. It was first introduced into cultivation in England by E. H. Wilson, who collected seeds during the autumn of 1899 from south- ern Yunnan. Since then, M delavayi has gradually spread imo many countries as an evergreen ornamental shrub. Magnolsa delavayi is a special species in Magnoliaceae. Its flower tepals open mostly in the evening and last only a few hours. In China, it is called the Holy Flower of Chinese Buddhism, or, in Chi- nese, Youtan Hua, which means "Flower Briefly as the Broad-leaved " Epiphyllum. (Editor's Note: Epiphyllum oxypetalum is a species of Orchid Cactus. There are about 20 spp. , all of which are native to the New World Tropics. The flowers are stunning but only bloom briefly at night. ) Before it was named, the Holy Flower of Chinese Bud- dhism had been cultivated in China as an ornamental, religious, and medicinal plant for over 800 years. Thus, most of the very old trees are commonly found near temples or in villages in Yunnan and other parts of China. For example: ~ An 800-year old M. delavayi grows in the yard of the Caoxi Temple at Arming county near Kunming in Yunnan. This tree is gm high, with a 74cm base-trunk diameter and still flowers well every year. ~ A 230-year old M. delavayi thrives in the Yufen Temple of Lijiang in the province of Yunnan.
