Magnolia

S.N: Magnolia grandiflora

F: Magnoliaceae

Magnolia was once named via French botanist Pierre Magnol and used to be a botanist.

William Sherard is one of the first people to promote this name and the Magnolia tree.

The beautiful beauty is a living fossil where the tree was scattered in the hemisphere.

The northern floor along with the ginkgo biloba and redwood trees, but this spread has declined significantly during the Ice Age and found fossils of this tree dating back more than twenty million years and found fossils of trees belonging to the family of Magnolia dating back more than ninety million years Means that the Magnolia tree has witnessed great events such as the formation of the mountains and the occurrence of the Ice Age and the sliding continents and the distance from each other and to this event proud of the scientists Magnolia plant magnolia on separate continents.

The original home of the Magnolia is the eastern United States, Mexico and South Asia. It is said that the original habitat of this tree in Asia is the Himalayas. Today, the magnolia spread in Japan, China, Malaysia, Mexico and the United States.

Before we begin to talk about the specifications of this tree and its climatic requirements, we have to mention that this tree has many varieties and that each species has different climatic requirements than the requirements of the other. Therefore, most of what we will mention here will be lines that may apply to some And may not apply to other varieties. The final statement is for the field experience. Some varieties of magnolia are evergreen, while other varieties are leafy. Similarly, some varieties are characterized by large sizes, with a height of more than 30 meters, whereas there are varieties that are no more than small bushes. Buds and modern paperlings, ie flowering in the beginning of the spring, while other varieties are delayed flowering until after the emergence of leafy growths, that the flowering is in the summer and also the shape and size of flowers varies from one category to another clearly, but Some botanists have been graded The Magnolia is a Magnolia and an Asian Magnolia. According to the native people, American Magnolia is generally larger in size and is often evergreen. It blooms in late spring and early summer and has whiteish yellow flowers. Asian Magnolia They are smaller and blooming earlier in the spring, and their flowers are characterized by more varied colors, mostly leafy trees, so that the reader is not confused.

What is noticed by the hedonists and botanists that some type of magnolia can be evergreen in an area and can be falling leaves in another area, depending on the climate prevailing in that region and I mention here that I read about varieties of orange leaf and That these varieties are grown in Russia, and in general, Asian Magnolia may be more resistant to cold than American Magnolia, while some note that American Magnolia is more tolerant of drought and some of its varieties tolerate living in alkaline soil.

Plant description:

The tree is very beautiful and evergreen rising up to 30 m. Her leg is upright with a round top. The leaves are intertwined with a full edge that extends to an oval, thick and solid with a shiny upper surface and a fluffy bottom. The tree blooms in spring and lasts until late May. Floral full color single diameter between 15-20 cm with aromatic aromatic fragrance from which the perfume is extracted.

Magnolia leaves are roughly the same size as citrus leaves. They are dark brown in color. They are characterized by a yellow line that divides the paper into two symmetrical halves. In addition, there is a yellow line on the edges of the outer leaf. Also, the magnolia leaves are solid and made of plastic. The top is very glossy and covered with a thin layer of glass. The bottom surface of the paper is darker and less glossy. For magnolia wood it is soft wood.

Magnolia flowers vary in color, shape and size from one species to another. The white camellia magnolia is one of the most famous flowers of this tree. It resembles a cup of coffee on its plate. The magnolia flower is distinguished from the rest of the flowers. The fruits are red wooden cones and conical shape in which we find red seeds are the seeds of magnolia, and magnolia flowers have a fragrant smell, but do not produce nectar, but produce large amounts of pollen and since the flowers of magnolia does not produce nectar or produce in small quantities, Inoculation of these flowers depends on a For beetles, without other insects attracted by the nectar, and that while these beetles pollute pollen and flowers, but the excessive presence of those beetles calls for control because it may eliminate the flowers of the plant altogether.

In areas prone to frosting, it is preferable to cultivate late-blooming magnolia because the frost destroys the flowering buds of the tree. Some lactators avoid planting trees in the southern parts of the gardens to avoid early flowering. The resistance of magnolia trees to frosts varies and growth rates vary. The number of years this tree requires to reach the flowering stage from one species to another, as mentioned earlier, selecting the right variety for the region, both in terms of climate and soil quality, is considered the first step in the cultivation of this tree.

Magnolia farming:

In the tissue culture, the resulting plant is a copy identical to the original because the individuals produced by the seeds are subject to inheritance laws in terms of dominant traits And recessive and transient, and it becomes more complicated if the tree was challenged with grain coming from a tree belonging to another type of Magnolia, where this leads to the emergence of hybrid and is likely to occur in this tree. The best time to grow the Magnolia seedlings is in the early spring and specifically before the emergence of modern growth on this tree and since Magnolia need to be spectacular lighting in order to bloom and to grow properly, it is preferable to be planted in places exposed to direct sunlight and magnolia of all varieties are damaged Of the wind currents should therefore be planted in a well protected place from the wind. Therefore, these trees are not grown as fences or windbreakers. The pruning of the branches of this tree should be done after the flowering stage. Most of the magnolia species are rich in humus, The Although some varieties may tolerate alkaline soils such as calcareous soils, most varieties of magnolia are moisture-free and have no drought resistance. The roots of this tree are spread horizontally close to the surface of the soil and some species have very strong roots so they grow Apart from the foundations of the buildings, and most of the varieties of this tree does not strengthen the possibility of salinity of the soil and apart from what we have said about the possibility of moving palm trees from one place to another easily, the transfer of trees Magnolia is very difficult because the roots spread in large areas around the plant and therefore not Plant can be moved without exposing most Radical total damage.
