Magnolia Figo, also known as the ‘Banana Shrub’ or the ‘Chinese Banana Tree’, is a beautiful and unique addition to any garden. With its large, glossy green leaves and striking yellow-white flowers, this semi-evergreen shrub is sure to make a statement in any landscape.

The flowers of the Magnolia Figo are large and fragrant, and bloom from late Spring to early Summer. They are typically a yellow-white colour, and have a delicate, cup-like shape. The petals of the flowers are thick and waxy, which makes them resistant to damage from rain and wind.

The leaves are large, glossy, and dark green in colour and they are ovate in shape and can grow up to 8 inches long.  In the Autumn, the leaves will turn a beautiful bronze colour before falling off.

The Magnolia Figo is a hardy and low-maintenance shrub, making it a great choice for gardeners of all experience levels. It can grow up to 4 metres tall and 2.5 metres wide and prefers full sun to partial shade. It is also drought-tolerant, making it a great choice for gardens in dryer regions.

One of the unique features of this variety is its small, inedible fruit, resembling a banana, that appears after the flowers have bloomed. These fruit are not edible but are ornamental and add an interesting aspect to the shrub.

Overall, this is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for a hardy, low-maintenance shrub with showy, fragrant flowers and interesting foliage. It is perfect for adding a touch of elegance to any garden and can also be used in hedges, as a specimen plant, or as a backdrop in mixed borders.
