Michelia yunnanensis seed
LATIN NAME: MAGNOLIA LAEVIFOLIA
COMMON NAME: Yunnan Michelia, Smooth-Leaved Michelia
The Yunnan michelia is a handsome and fragrant evergreen of the Chinese gardens, and its white, cup-shaped flowers and its neat, glossy foliage have made it a valued plant of the small garden and the hedge. It grows as an evergreen shrub or small tree of the magnolia family, reaching up to seven metres, with a rounded crown of glossy, leathery, oval leaves and, in the warm season, fragrant, white, cup-shaped flowers borne in the leaf axils and perfuming the air, followed by clustered fruits of small seeds. It is a species of the magnolia family, native to south-central China, and it easily tolerates pruning, and can be formed into topiaries, hedges and screens, while the Royal Horticultural Society recommends the Gails Favourite cultivar for the small gardens, and it is a shrub for the connoisseur, worth all the trouble in a sheltered position.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The Yunnan michelia has a genuine and growing place in both horticultural and botanical research. It has been studied in horticulture, since it is a handsome and fragrant evergreen of the small garden, prized for its white, cup-shaped flowers and its neat, glossy foliage, and researchers have examined its cultivation, its many cultivars and its value in the garden, while its tolerance of pruning and its use in topiaries, hedges and screens have been examined, and the Gails Favourite cultivar has been recommended by the Royal Horticultural Society for the small gardens, while its fragrant bloom has drawn attention in the international gardening press. The tree has also been studied in botany, since it is a member of the magnolia family and a distinctive member of the genus, and researchers have examined its classification and its relationships, while the study of the magnolias and their many species has been of continuing interest. The species has also been studied in ecology, since it is a plant of south-central China, and its growth and its role in the landscape have been examined. For a plant of such neatness and such fragrance, the Yunnan michelia has a steady and growing record of research.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
To grow the Yunnan Michelia from seed, ecologically, the Yunnan michelia is a handsome plant of the Chinese gardens. Its fragrant, white flowers feed the bees and the insects, and its glossy foliage gives cover, while it is a neat presence in the gardens and the hedges of south-central China and the warm world. Its economic value is real: it is a valued plant of the small garden, prized for its fragrant, white flowers and its neat, glossy foliage, and it is particularly recommended for the small gardens, while it is also used in topiaries, hedges and screens, and its fragrant bloom has drawn attention in the international gardening press. To bring the Yunnan michelia on, sow the seeds in pots of moist, free-draining compost in a warm, sunny or lightly shaded spot, keep them lightly watered, and grow the little plants on in shelter.
