Magnolia zenii is a rare tree from eastern China, known from very few wild trees, so it is grown mainly by specialist collectors and botanic gardens. It needs a sheltered, moist, well-drained site in a temperate climate.
Magnolia zenii is a species of flowering plant in the family Magnoliaceae. It is a tree endemic to Henan and Jiangsu in southeastern China.
Listed as "critically endangered," there were only a few dozen found left of these when the variety was first discovered in China in 1931 according to MEG McCONAHEY writing in THE PRESS DEMOCRAT.
