The Start of Spring

Ever in love with the tulip poplar (the offical tree of Tennessee) but having no where to place one of these magnificent trees with canopies up to 30 feet, we opted for a smaller rendition but ever delightful Jane Magnolia.

Jane went in the ground over the weekend and already has several showy blooms registering in the magenta to pale pink family.

Anticipated size is 8 to 10 feet wide and approximately 10 to 12 feet tall. Good thing the neighbor likes it, since I have a feeling it will easily grow over their fence one day!

Cheers,
Laura
