Notes for Magnolia 'Royal Crown' 筆記

Notes for Magnolia veitchii 筆記
- Hybrids between Magnolia campbellii and M. denudata are fast growing, ultimately medium-sized trees flowering on bare branches.
- Flowers are held more or less upright, and can be as much as 25 cm across when open, with tepals white or various shades of pink, depending on clone.
- The hybrid was first raised at the Veitch nursery, Exeter, in 1907 as part of a quest for a large ‘tree magnolia’ hardier than M. campbellii and flowering at a younger age; two seedlings were kept and propagated by layering.
- 滇藏木蘭 (Magnolia campbellii) 和 玉蘭花 (M. denudata) 的雜交品種生長迅速，最終長成中等大小的樹木，在光禿禿的樹枝上開花。
- 花朵或多或少直立，開放時直徑可達 25 厘米，萼片為白色或各種粉紅色，視無性繁殖株而定。
- 這種雜交品種於 1907 年首次在埃克塞特的維奇苗圃培育出來，目的是尋找一種比 M. campbellii 更耐寒、開花年齡更早的大型「樹木蘭」；保留兩株幼苗，以壓條法繁殖。
