Magnolia Tree at Roerich Art Gallery

Magnolia flowers are very beautiful and we were lucky enough to see the majestic tree of magnolia in the premises of Roerich Art Gallery , Himachal Pradesh, Manali. The tree must be very very  old with its huge growth and majestic flowers size.

Majestic Huge White Magnolia Flower

The blooms were very big and white in colour. almost 7 to 10 inches in size.

The Fruit on Magnolia Tree

There were seed pods or fruits visible on the tree which on drying would fall off from the tree. On enquiring with a botanist I came to know that magnolia trees need very cold climates. Himachal pradesh is a beautiful place with pleasant chilly climate all year round. With my fascination with this serene , majestic flower, I came to know that this tree may not grow well in containers and needed land. And also the supported cliamte was chilly, snowy atmosphere like that of himanchal pradesh. Foreign countries do have this trees in abundance with the cold climates there. So at present this will remain a dream to grow magnolias in containers, still I would keep on enquiring about this beautiful tree that looks almost like our rubber tree with shiny dark reddish brown maroon leaves.
