Description

Striking small tree with a compact, upright habit when young and fragrant white flowers with large, gracefully pendulous petals which appear before or just as the leaves emerge in April or early May. From a distance, the flowers almost look a little like those of a Davidia (Pocket Handkerchief Tree).

The leaves are an attractive deep green in colour sometimes turning good shades of yellow before falling in autumn.

Magnolia x 'Wada's Memory'  is an excellent garden tree worth planting for a splash of spring colour.
