My neighbor Richard gave me several Magolias this spring. They were all young plants but this ‘Sunsation’ bloomed like crazy despite it’s small size.
Things you should know about ‘Sunsation’ Magnolia . . .
- The blooms are a striking, beautiful yellow color.
- This ornamental tree is hardy in zones 5 thru 9.
- It blooms in the spring.
- It does well in full sun or some shade.
- This small tree will get 20 to 30 feet tall.
- And it will grow to a width of about 8 to 10 feet.
Can it be grown from cuttings? I doubt it, the one that I was given is was budded to a ‘Yellow Latern’ Magnolia seedling. That tell me that it has to be budded or grafted to a Magnolia seedling in order to reproduce it.
Is this plant patented? Not to my knowledge. I did some research and found no evidence of it patented or the name being trademarked.
Where can you buy one? Probably only online unless you get really lucky and find one locally. Do I sell this plant? Not at this time.
Thank you for all of the information shared. You are a very good teacher. I’m just getting started. The notice of how to root grapevines really grabbed my attention. I have an over 35 year old concord grapevine that I made amazing spread from. My neighbor planted crepe myrtles right behind it blocking the sun and I haven’t had grapes or jam for 3 years. I’m ready to try to root it. Also I am very intrigued by the idea of growing my own small plants to sell. I have white and pink dogwoods. A lilac bush. and birch trees.
Thank you again Mike~

Lorraine,
Just treat the grape vines like any other hardwood cutting. Just stick them in some soil in the ground or in a flat etc. More here; https://mikesbackyardnursery.com/2015/01/easy-winter-time-plant-propagation-can-home/
