Nursery contributed plant descriptions

We first saw this plant at Eisenhut Nursery in Switzerland. We ordered 40 magnolias and got all of them (scary) all but one survived. M. 'Gretel Eisenhut' looks similar to M. 'Caerhays Belle' but is much richer pink.
Like most sargenteanas this tree has large pink flowers, grows large and is not very hardy. for pic: http://www.eisenhut.ch/plant_en.php?id=137959
