    This year this magnolia has discoloured flowers, could this be frost damage?

    That's what normally does it with Magnolias. They're magnificent trees but the early flowering varieties tend to suffer from it. :noidea:

    Thanks shiny, perhaps it could be protected with fleece?

    Possibly a bit late now and the forecast is for slightly warmer nights.
