Wow just wonderful. Would surely go there some day. I think these are not magnolias all prunus varieties.

@Umar, any prunus nashpati or peach variety successful in lahore?

Khabbab i think Peach early grain & golden pear will do best because these varieties are grown in Mardan.i think they will be most suitable for you.

Early grain Peach is the first to ripe & available on the market.it ripes when the wheat harvesting starts here in Peshawar & Mardan.but the fruit is not of that quality as the Swati PEACHES SPECIALLY 8 NO & 6 no peaches.
