Michelia maudiae

Smiling Monkey Forest Tree, Magnolia maudiae

Michelia maudiae, commonly known as the Smiling Monkey Forest Tree, is a handsome tree grown for both its foliage and lovely flowers. It grows as a small, shapely tree and carries glossy, dark green leaves which are very aesthetic in their own right. Velvet buds open through late winter and spring to reveal showy and fragrant, pure white flowers as it grows to 5 m tall and 3 m wide. Michelia maudiae is commonly grown as a specimen, included in a mixed planting, clipped into a hedge, used in an avenue planting, added to a cottage or “white” garden, or used as a backdrop for smaller plants.

When is the best time for planting Michelia maudiae?

The best time to plant Michelia maudiae is during the dormant season, which spans from autumn to spring. However, the optimal timing within this period is spring, as the warming soil encourages better root establishment. This allows the young tree to settle in well before the heat of summer arrives. You can still plant in summer provided careful attention is paid to watering.
