Watermelon features rich coral pink flowers - reminscent of the flesh of a watermelon. The flowers are borne on bare stems ahead of the foliage.
Watermelon flowers from a relatively young age, and the semi-double flowers are large, even by Magnolia standards, typically 15cm - 20cm across.
Sorry we have not produced any trees of this variety this season.
Watermelon was developed by Vance Hooper of New Zealand. Its parents are Caerhays Belle and Genie (also developed by Hooper).
