{"product_id":"magnolia-big-dude","title":"Magnolia Big Dude","description":"\u003ch1\u003eMagnolia Big Dude\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA crass name for an unusual hybrid magnolia bred in the USA, Magnolia Big Dude is a medium-sized, very cold-hardy, deciduous tree of average vigour, with an upright, spreading, vase-shaped habit, tending to become multi-stemmed over time. The mid-green leaves have paler undersides. In spring, before the tree comes into leaf, the plant carries huge, tulip-shaped, lightly fragrant, pink flowers flushed purple, paler pink inside. These are so large that the flowers flop over and hang down, allowing a view of the fascinating inside of the flower. The flowers are followed by cone-shaped crimson-pink fruits. Magnolia Big Dude needs minimal pruning; prune at midsummer only if necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSite:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sheltered\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fertile, moist but well-drained, humus-rich, slightly acidic to neutral soil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePosition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun or partial shade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeason of interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e April in particular\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very hardy, but flowers can suffer in late frosts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26’ (8m) \u003cstrong\u003eSpread:\u003c\/strong\u003e in 10-20 years\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhoto by \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp title=\"Go to liz west's photostream\"\u003eLiz West\u003c\/p\u003e, cropped, and licensed under \u003cp\u003eCC BY 2.0\u003c\/p\u003e.","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Pot | 7.5L \/ Collection\/oversize delivery required","offer_id":48736664649985,"sku":"ZNV0D 6940506718242","price":31.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0818\/1540\/4801\/files\/4502870966_475432b71b_k.jpg?v=1777968962","url":"https:\/\/futureforests-us.com\/products\/magnolia-big-dude","provider":"Future-Forests","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
