Cherrylake was one of the first farms to achieve an efficient level of success in asexually propagating Magnolia grandiflora. After ten years of evaluation, we selected Miss Chloé for its many outstanding qualities to be patented and trademarked. Displaying impressive fullness at a very early age, combined with a very fast growth rate allows Miss Chloé to yield a high return on investment while maturing in the landscape.
Instant impact of fullness in the canopy with rich emerald green foliage, highlighted by velvety brown undersides, is most likely the first distinguishing attribute that compels the eye when viewing Miss Chloé. Tree structure is characterized by well spaced scaffold limbs attached at 45º angles to a dominant central leader. Scaffold limbs are abundant with secondary branching that accounts for the tree’s fullness. Flowers are impressively large at 10” to 12” with a clear pink stamen, which is in unique contrast to the deep burgundy stamen that is common to the species.
Landscape use is very versatile given the tree’s ability to be a full to the ground specimen with a dominant central leader or simply limbed-up when visibility is required for street plantings or parking lots.
