    Hi,

    Although not blooming right now but can some one guess from the foliage that which species of magnolia it is?

    Many thanks,
    Khabbab

    Looks like Magnolia figo, Banana Shrub. However some of the leaves are larger than the ones on the plants I've seen. Do the flowers have a fragrance of ripe bananas?

    It is not blooming yet, so cannot say for sure.

    Banana shrub is one of the more common, therefore likely possibilities.
