Good question!<\/p>\n<p>Oyama magnolia is a 10-15 feet tall (and equal spread) deciduous tree or large shrub from eastern Asia. It prefers to grow in partial sunlight and in moist, well drained loamy soil (USDA zones 6 -8). Oyama is an ideal tree\/shrub magnolia for a small garden. Spring bloom is in May, avoiding the threat of frost injuring the flower buds of this later blooming magnolia.<\/p>\n<p>The 3-6 inch long medium green foliage is first to appear in April, coated with a silvery pubescence. White nodding egg-shaped flower buds appear in late June, and blooms appear intermittently thru most of the summer. The 1-3 inch wide saucer shaped flowers are white, centered by crimson stamens within. Oyama begins to flower at an early age.<\/p>\n<p>Leaves turn pale yellow before abscising in mid-autumn. Small pink fruits appear in late summer, and split open to reveal orange-red seeds in late September. Branch bark wood is light gray.<\/p>\n<p>Feed magnolias with a slow release fertilizer in early spring. They benefit from annual mulching.\u00a0 Pruning shrub to desired shape and size, and to remove dead or broken branches.<\/p>\n<p>Oyama magnolia is available from\u00a0 a few on-line specialty nurseries.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A friend on vacation sent me the attached photo from Wooster, Ohio. \u00a0When I told him that it was Oyama magnolia (Magnolia sieboldii), he asked why gardeners are not growing it.
