Tropical magnolias - esp M. hodgsonii

Posted by footfullabindiis Darwin NT (My Page) on

Im wondering if anyone has any seed, cuttings or plants of this tree available, or even some information about growing requirements etc. I live in Darwin and love to try to grow temperate species such as azaleas, camellias, prunus etc. I have had some success with various magnolias and michelias, but desperately want to try M.hodgsonii.
Anyone able to help?

I'm growing one in SE Qld, in a tub. It is about to have its 2nd flowering, will see if any seed results, or hopefully at least take a photo of the flower.

Alison - I have a feeling that you may be the person who sent me a few M hodgsonii seedlings about 4-5 years ago. Unfortunatley one of my dogs ate them the same day that I got them. Ive been trying deperately to track them down ever since. I also owe you some plants and $$$ if you are the person that I dealt with. I was going to send you some musseandas down but then I had an accident and a very bad year following. If you are the same person can you please email me so I can resolve this?

If not let me know how you go with your 2nd flowering. BTW what is the fragrance like?
