14. July 2010 at 12:10 | editHi Carol, I was wondering if you had any thoughts or information about Michelia Alba? Thanks
15. July 2010 at 14:05 | editHi Christy,
I inquired about the Michelia champaca ‘Alba’.
It is a lovely tree. It can be grown as a tree or large shrub, growing to 30′ or 35′ tall. It can tolerate partial shade to full sun and it is a member of the Magnolia family, with formal pyramidal growth. The tree is extravagantly fragrant and known as the Joy Perfume Tree. It has beautiful glossy leaves and pure white flowers.
A 3 gallon pot with a 3 to 4 ft tree will cost around $50. I have been told they will bloom at this size, but can’t say for sure, as I have never grown it.
A 15 gallon container with a height of 8 to 10 foot will cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $325-$375.
