Latin Name:  Magnolia denudata
Common Name:  Lily tree
Family:  Magnoliaceae
Author:  Desr.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  10   Mature Width:  10

Habitat:  Found in thickets, the trees are often cut down and sprouting from the base[109].

Cultivation Notes: Best grown in a warm position in a moderately rich free soil of an open texture[1]. Succeeds in an acid or neutral peaty soil in sun or part shade[184]. Tolerates alkaline soils so long as they are deep and rich in humus[188]. The branches are brittle so a sheltered position is required[200]. Very tolerant of atmospheric pollution[200]. A very ornamental tree[1], it is hardy to about -20°c when dormant[184] but plants can be excited into early growth by mild winters and the flowers are then liable to be killed by frost[11]. The flowers, which begin to be produced when the plant is quite young, are deliciously scented[245]. The fleshy roots are easily damaged and any transplanting is best done during a spell of mild moist weather in late spring[182].
