Magnolias by Jim Gardiner

First introduced into Britain in 1688, magnolias are today found in gardens and parks throughout the country, and flowers may be seen, depending on species and variety, over nine months of the year. Yet relatively little has been written about this genus of striking trees and shrubs. After a brief survey of the history of the magnolia, this book describes its cultivation and care in gardens today. It suggests ways in which magnolias may be successfully associated with other plants, and there is information on buying and planting a magnolia. There are also chapters on pests and diseases and on propagation, as well as advice on how to select a magnolia for its ultimate size, where to see magnolias in cultivation and where to buy them.
