    It does look gorgeous, so I'm also keen to know.

    If I buy one I must remember not to plant it too close to a wall, it looks to be pushing the wall over.

    @haddow07 They do need a sheltered spot as they can be prone to a late frost. Also the roots do not like disturbance.
    I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

    It was cold here last night. I wonder how the Magnolias are doing today.
