Medium-size tree, initially with a regular, ovoid crown, later becoming much broader and eventually nearly round. Eventual height approx. 9 m. It is a seedling sister of M. ‘Galaxy’ and with ‘Spectrum’, too, the flower buds only develop in spring, so they cannot freeze in the winter. The flower buds are bright reddish purple. The open flowers are dark pinkish red on the outside but lighter in colour on the inside. They stay narrow and rather crescent-shaped for a long time, but eventually open to a broad saucer shape. Good tree for use in residential areas, thanks also to the pronounced colours and profuse blossoms.
Magnolia 'Spectrum' can eventually reach a height of 7-9 m, depending on the site and climate conditions.
Magnolia 'Spectrum' is átlagos and can eventually reach a height of 7-9 m, depending on the site and climate conditions.
The right time to plant Magnolia 'Spectrum' is during the dormancy period. In Western Europe, Magnolia 'Spectrum' with root balls can generally be planted from mid-November to late April, although this depends strongly on the climatic conditions and the species of tree.
