Its only significant soil requirement is a well-draining spot, and it has no pruning or mulching requirements. The purple robe locust is a very hardy tree, relatively drought, heat, and storm-resistant, and able to thrive even in very poor-quality and infertile soil. The flowers of the purple robe locust are also especially fragrant in summer, which adds another attractive element to an MD garden. The purple robe locust is an excellent choice as both a shade tree, due to its tight-growing branches, and a specimen plant, as its eye-catching 8-inch flowers will stand out amidst any landscape. The purple robe locust is recognizable for its uneven oval shape, thin, bare trunk, and clusters of vibrant pink-purple flowers that look very similar to the drooping masses of wisteria flowers. Fertilizer can be applied in spring every two or three years, and any pruning should be done after the tree has blossomed to avoid losing flowers.Īccording to the North Carolina State University Extension, the Jane magnolia can fall victim to scale, weevils, canker, leaf spot, powdery mildew, and other pests and diseases.Īverage Size at Maturity: 10-15 feet tall, with an 8-12 foot spreadĪvailable at: Fast-Growing-Trees & Nature Hills
PINK PURPLE TREE FULL
Jane magnolias can be grown in both full sun and partial shade and should be grown in rich, moist soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH. Despite its delicate-looking blossoms, this type of magnolia is a robust tree that is both cold hardy, and relatively heat-resistant.
The Jane magnolia’s gorgeous flowers bloom in spring and start off as a deep burgundy purple, before fading to lighter pink as the flower opens. Known for its large tulip-shaped flowers, the Jane magnolia is an excellent choice of flowering tree for MD growers as it can be grown virtually anywhere in the state.
