Siebold's MagnoliaSiebold's magnolia, (Magnolia sieboldii), also known as Oyama magnolia, is native to Japan and Korea. Siebold's magnolia is named after the German doctor Philipp Franz von Siebold (1796-1866). This is a large shrub or small tree 16-25ft (5-7m)high. The stalks, young leaves, young twigs and young buds are downy. The elliptical, ovate-oblong leaves have a maximum length of 6in (15cm) but are usually smaller. The flowers, unlike the better-known spring flowering magnolias, open primarily in the summer, but blooms continue intermittently until fall. "The flowers... have long stalks and may be pendulous; they are cup-shaped with pure white petals, reddish-pink to red sepals and carmine stamens." - Paola Lanzara and Mariella Pizzetti Simon & Schuster's Guide to Trees, pp. 253 References - Paola Lanzara and Mariella Pizzetti Simon & Schuster's Guide to Trees pp. 191.
