The shipped magnolia (in good condition) is slightly larger than expected. It seems to be thriving, but it's a bit early in the season to judge for sure.

Description
Magnolia x brooklynensis 'Evamaria' is a biennially bearing variety. Obtained in 1968, in the USA, at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, it has many qualities that still delight enthusiasts and collectors of rare and original varieties. The flowering changes day by day and is absolutely charming. Large green buds tinged with yellow and purple open into upright tulip-shaped flowers, the magenta pink petals are washed with honey and then infused with soft orange and tender green. They appear in late spring, dotting a foliage with a silver underside. Like all magnolias, it will thrive in a moist, preferably neutral or acidic soil, in full sun or partial shade. Its modest size will suit small spaces well.
The 'Evamaria' Magnolia belongs to the Magnoliaceae family. It forms a branching bush with a rounded shape, reaching a height of 3m (9 to 10ft) and a width of 2m (6 to 7ft) after 10 years, with growth slowing down afterwards. Its deciduous foliage consists of large light green leaves, with a paler and finely hairy underside. From May to June, small solitary flowers bloom among the leaves, reaching a height of 6 to 10cm (3.9in). The buds preceding the flowering are protected by silky and colourful bracts, followed by tulip-shaped flowers with 6 waxy and thick tepals (indistinguishable sepals and petals), almost flat, with the inner face fading to salmon pink at full bloom. They gradually open into a gaping cup around a revealed heart, revealing numerous orange stamens.
An ornamental small tree par excellence, 'Evamaria' will work wonders in both a small-sized garden and a large park. It is most often used as a solitary subject in the middle of a short grass meadow or in front of a house, where its remarkable flowering is always perceived as a miraculous event. It can also be advantageously associated with an interesting field of plants at other times of the year, such as a Japanese maple, a Hibiscus syriacus, a Prunus x subhirtella 'Autumnalis', or even a Cornus kousa 'Satomi'. It also pairs well with acid-loving plants (Rhododendrons, Camellias, Nandinias, Peonies...). It is also possible to create beautiful flowering hedges along pathways, alternating this Magnolia with other cultivars, for example. Its root system is not dangerous for foundations, so it can be installed against the wall of a house.

Planting and care
Magnolia 'Evamaria' prefers sheltered positions, sunny to semi-shaded exposures, a fresh, well-drained, rich, neutral or acidic soil. It does not like overly dry soils, windy locations, or root competition, as its root system is shallow. It is hardy (down to -25°C), but it is advisable to protect young plants from frost for two or three years after planting. Note that late frosts and cold winds can damage flower buds and young leaves, affecting flowering. Magnolia can be planted in spring or autumn, outside the frost period. Prepare a hole 80cm (31.5in) wide and deep, with a good supply of heath soil and compost. Be careful when installing it in the hole, as the roots are fleshy but quite fragile. Immediate watering with non-lime water (rainwater) helps to compact the soil around the roots. During the first year of planting, Magnolia requires watering once a week. It will appreciate an annual amendment in spring. It is recommended to mulch around its base to keep it cool during the hot season, enrich the soil, and protect it from the cold in winter. As its roots are fragile, it is best not to transplant it. The only enemies of Magnolia are parasites such as scale insects, snails, and slugs that attack young plants, and cryptogamic diseases (in overly moist soil). Coral disease can attack poorly pruned branches (careful pruning with well-maintained tools is necessary). It is worth noting that magnolias are ornamental trees that tolerate atmospheric pollution well and that their roots do not pose a threat to building foundations.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
