Magnolia sargentiana
Sargent's magnolia is a large deciduous tree from western China, valued for its big, cup-shaped, pinkish-white flowers in spring. It is a forest tree that is hard to grow in gardens and needs cool, mild, moist conditions with shelter.
Magnolia sargentiana is a species of flowering plant in the family Magnoliaceae. It is endemic to China, where it occurs in Sichuan and Yunnan. It is widely distributed but its populations are fragmented. Its total population was estimated at ~20,000 after field surveys were conducted in April 2006.
This is a forest tree which grows 8 to 25 meters tall. It is harvested for wood and herbal medicine.
