Magnolia ‘Coppertallica’ has a true metallic sheen that glimmers when it catches the sun on the undersides of the leaves. I did not believe it until I saw it myself. Truly unusual and spectacular.
In the tree nursery, (on a grafted, pruned to be a single trunk tree) the main shoot of my Magnolia ‘Coppertallica’ grew 25” in a year, and side shoots 12”.
The photos do not catch the glimmer and gleam of the undersides of the leaves, it truly glimmers like it was metallic. I am very excited to follow the progress of this tree in my landscape!
