Magnolia doltsopa is a large shrub or small tree native to the eastern Himalayan region and the Meghalaya subtropical forests in Northeastern India.[3] The wood is fragrant.[4]
The plant varies in form from bushy to narrow and upright, can grow to a height of 30 metres (98 ft) tall. The tree flowers in spring and produces heavily scented white flowers. It has long leathery and glossy dark-green leaves, 6–17 centimetres (2.4–6.7 in) in length, that provide a point of interest all year long. The wood is a rich brown.[5] It grows in evergreen broad-leaved forests.[6]
The "Silver Cloud" variety grows to 15 feet and flowers earlier in its lifespan.[7]
Cultivationedit
Magnolia doltsopa is used as a featured ornamental tree and street tree, or pruned as a hedge. It enjoys a sheltered position in full or part sun, and appreciates well drained soil.[8] It can tolerate acidic soil.[7]
Global distribution and useedit
In Nepal, the wood of the Magnolia doltsopa is used for house building.[4] It is also used for house building in Bhutan, where in the 1980s it suffered from over-harvesting.[5]
The Magnolia doltsopa is useful in a Shifting cultivation system, which relies on species with good nitrogen fixation in soil.[9]
