Magnolia grandiflora 'Exmouth'
I had to have this.
My home town is Exmouth in Devon where magnolias were first grown in the UK. There is a clone of magnolia grandiflora named 'Exmouth' - it takes pride of place in the middle of the back garden.
Over 20 years old now, it has reached over 15 feet and flowers every year. Each flower only lasts a few days but there one or two blooms fully open for a couple of months at least and they smell of lemon. The leaves are evergreen and have a brown felt on the reverse. More often seen as a wall shrub, I am growing this as a free-standing tree

Have you ever visited the southern US, Andrewr? If you get the chance make sure to visit one of the older botanical gardens and see these trees. They are very popular because the leaves stay green year round.
