What's the difference between Er Qiao Magnolia and Purple Magnolia?

Er Qiao Magnolia (scientific name: Magnolia? ×? soulangeana？ Soul. -Bode. ) is a hybrid of Magnoliaceae and Magnoliaceae. Small deciduous trees, 6- 10 m high, with glabrous branchlets. Leaves alternate, papery, obovate, 6-15cm long and 4-7.5cm wide. The bud is oval, and the first leaf of the flower is open, light red to dark red. Aggregate fruit is about 8 cm long and 3 cm in diameter; Pods are ovoid or obovoid with white lenticels. Seeds dark brown, broadly obovate or obovate, laterally compressed. The flowering period is February-March, and the fruiting period is 9-65438+1October.

Originated in China; China has a wide planting range, from Beijing in the north to Guangdong in the south, to coastal areas in the east, and to Lanzhou in Gansu and Kunming in Yunnan in the west. Distributed in southeast Venezuela from North America to South America and tropical and temperate regions of Asia. Similar to the two parents, but more drought-resistant and cold-resistant. Hi-light, suitable for growing in warm areas, not resistant to stagnant water and drought. I like neutral, slightly acidic or slightly alkaline loose fertile soil and sandy loam rich in humus, but I can't grow in calcareous and chalky soil. Can withstand short-term low temperature of -20℃.
