Umbrella-tree Magnolia tripetala

Umbrella-tree I like the article

Cultivation Umbrella-tree
The Umbrella-tree develops like a tree. The Umbrella-tree develops growing in height, and develops a bare stem, creating a thick crown. Umbrella-tree isn't an evergreen; during the summer it assumes a white colouring; the adult species are medium in size and reach 8 m in height.

Light Umbrella-treeSole pieno
Plant which need at least a few hours a day of solar light. The Umbrella-tree bears even very harsh temperatures, therefore it can be grown outdoors without feeling endangered by low temperatures.During the winter young plants could need a light protection from the wind or cold; when putting the very young specimens, with a thin stem, in shelter, we should provide them with a high stake to keep them erect.

Water Umbrella-treeTenere asciutto
We suggest watering these plants with 1-2 buckets of water only when the soil is perfectly dry, generally it needs to be watered about every 4-5 weeks . Let's avoid to exceed. The young specimens, recently sheltered, need more cures compared to the adult specimens: as the years go by the development of a good radical apparatus allows the plant to be satisfied with the rain, without needing other waterings.

Pests Umbrella-tree
The spring weather, with a high temperature swing between the day and night hours, and pretty frequent rains, can favour the development of fungus diseases, which should be treated pre-emptively with a systemic fungicide, to use before the gems grow excessively; at the end of the winter we also suggest a wide range insecticide to prevent the attack of aphids and cochineals. We should always remember to do these treatments when there aren't flowerings in the garden.

Mold Umbrella-tree
Let’s place these trees in a soft and deep, but well drained, soil.
