Magnolia Jane Tree - Magnolia x 'Jane'

The Magnolia Jane Tree 1 Gal. 2-3' is a beautiful hybrid cross of M. liliiflora ‘Nigra’ and M. stellata ‘Rosea’. It is a part of the Little Girl Series which includes hybrids named 'Ann', 'Betty', 'Jane', 'Judy', 'Pinkie', 'Randy', 'Ricki' and 'Susan'. The Little Girl Series was developed at the National Arboretum in the mid-1950s to flower later in the year aiming to reduce frost damage to newly forming flowers.

This hybrid shrub starts to bloom from mid-April or early May unfolding large purply pink flowers, reminiscent of tulips, that emit a delightful fragrance. The interior of the flowers is a white and the petals have a fleshy feel to them as with other magnolias. The flowers bloom before the leaves emerge creating a striking contrast of pinky purple blooms with bare silvery brown stems.

How to Grow a Magnolia Jane Tree

It is a slow grower and prefers well-drained and rich soils that are slightly acidic. It is tolerant of clay-heavy soils and cold weather. Make sure to plant in full sun locations for best flowering. In hot summer climates, apply a layer of mulch to the root area to help maintain moisture.

Establish in a location that is protected from strong winds, as the branches of this shrub can be prone to breakage. Choose a planting location for this plant wisely as transplanting later in life can be quite damaging to the root zone. It can be susceptible to scale and thrips, however in general this shrub is robust and easy to grow.

Care

Magnolia Jane Trees thrive in well-drained soil and benefit from regular watering, especially during dry periods. They should be pruned in late winter, mulch around the base for root protection, and fertilized in early spring for optimal growth.

Plant Reproduction

Magnolia Jane spreads via its roots and seeds for propagation

Plant bare root trees during the dormant season in early spring or late fall (November through April). Dig the hole twice as wide as the roots so the soil is well-drained. Position the tree so the root flare is at or just above ground level. Fill the hole back with the soil you dug from and water. Maintain soil moisture, especially in the tree's early years, by providing deep, regular watering. Apply a 2-4 inch mulch away from the trunk at the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune trees during the first few seasons to establish strength and resilience, remove damaged branches, and continue maintenance pruning as the tree matures. Regularly inspect for pests and diseases and apply integrated pest management practices. Protect young trees from mechanical damage and extreme temperatures with tree guards, and stake them if necessary for support, removing the stakes after one or two years.
