However you use it, the Fairy Blush Magnolia has a place just about anywhere in your garden. These special plants are produced using carefully controlled methods, to make sure that each one has the exact characteristics carefully bred by Mark Jury. This is a completely different plant from any of the other Magnolia varieties , so cheaper plants will certainly not be this amazing new introduction. The Fairy Blush Magnolia grows throughout the warmer parts of the country, in the warmer parts of zone 7 and throughout zones 8, 9 and It will grow in most kinds of soil, as long as they are well-drained, but will thrive best in richer soils, that have been dug thoroughly to allow the roots to spread easily.
There are no significant pests or diseases of this plant, so it is a great low-maintenance plant for easy gardening. Most gardeners are familiar with Magnolias, either the evergreen Southern Magnolia, or the deciduous variations like the Jane Magnolia.
But there is another group, that up until recently were only known and grown by a few knowledgeable and specialized gardeners. All that has changed — botanists now place these plants among the Magnolias, and plant breeders have taking them and produced wonderful new hybrids.
The best of these new forms are the Fairy Magnolias, especially the Fairy Blush Magnolia, with beautiful soft pink flowers, gently perfumed and growing all along the branches. These plants were created by Mark Jury, a plant breeder who lives in New Zealand. He started breeding Michelia around and he worked hard, with many crosses of the different species, to create these remarkable plants, which are really a completely new kind of Magnolia, never seen before.

Alarming a bear can induce an immediate reactive response that will force it to defend itself against an apparent threat.
Such a circumstance can in some instances result in a dangerous situation. The owner should bear in mind all these important characteristics in mind when devising enrichment programs and designing suitable habitats for captive bears. Caretakers should try as much as possible to mimic a natural environment, although it is not always possible.
Rather than presenting food to bears in their full view, the owner should try to hide some of it in logs, around the yard, in crevices, in tree hollows as well as other areas. In addition to helping the bear occupy its time constructively, this will facilitate a natural foraging behavior. Some of the food items that are easy to cache and hide include nuts in shells, dry dog food, and fresh or dried fruits, among others.
It is advisable for the owner to provide a huge mound of wood chips in the enclosure for the bear to climb, roll in, or rub. Using aromatic wood sources such as pine or cedar shavings is recommended as they work very well. Freshening it daily using a pitchfork is helpful in order to redistribute the chips into a hill.
Bears love to climb on top of wood piles, as well as to dig holes. They are also particularly attracted to fragrant coniferous materials while some of the wood may possess bug deterring materials. It is also a good idea to use fresh pine needle loads in the enclosure in order to entice exploration and make comfortable day beds.
However, some of these materials are likely to cause respiratory problems. Hence, the caretaker should be on the lookout for symptoms and remove them immediately should they be a problem. Bears designate their territories by biting, rubbing or scratching trees with a rough texture, such as cedar, oak, pine and hemlock. It is, therefore, a good idea to include in the enclosure natural tree posts having intact barks. Regular wooden posts can be effective substitutes although chemically treated ones should be avoided.
Such posts should be well secured to the ground as bears are capable of exerting a lot of force while marking. Naturally, bears love climbing and sitting on high vantage points to be on the lookout for potential dangers or rest.
Therefore, trees with study branches and boulders should be included in the enclosure for them to climb. In case boulders or trees are not available, the caretaker can try to fabricate a raised platform using rough-textured and strong logs, while camouflaging it using natural foliage. Often, they prefer decks placed near protective covers like bushes or trees rather than those placed in the open as vegetative screens offer them a sense of security.
In case the bear is too old, weak or heavy to climb, the owner can place easy to climb planks or logs to help them climb. Are Polar Bears Kept as Pets?
