General Notes:
|
My father planted this tree approximately in 1930. I do not know where it was bought but it was probably from Duncan and Davies. Vic Davies was a personal acquaintance. I will not say friend as they disputed constantly on the Rhododendron Society Committee of which they were members. My father was the son of Richard John Seddon, a Prime Minister of New Zealand (Seddon 1992).
Magnolia campbellii was not common in 1930, when this tree was planted (Duthie 1993). |
