It’s hard to imagine there was a time I didn’t lust for specific\u00a0trees. Not that far back, I could identify maples and conifers, and that’s about it. Now my list explodes with possibility. If you love tropical-looking, big\u00a0gorgeous fragrant flowers, and quick gratification–Magnolia macrophylla var. ashei<\/a> is just the tree for you.\u00a0I found my at Cistus Nursery<\/a>, and though it’s been in a pot for the past two years–awaiting placement in our new garden at Flamingo Park–it bloomed its wee\u00a0heart this past season.<\/p>\n

And the Ashe Magnolia plays well with other tropicals. I consider most of these annuals, though, I do overwinter the banana, because it’s super easy. (Shake off dirt. Wrap in newspaper. Throw in basement.)<\/p>\n

I’ve had such a hard time deciding where to site my Ashe Magnolia, because I want to be able see it as often as possible. Before we settled keeping the apple tree<\/a>, I’d planned to put it where that tree now casts a shadow, near the patio. Instead, it’s replacing of\u00a0an old overgrown–and not in a good way–Rhododendron\u00a0just outside the patio fence. The\u00a0Rhodie came out via the tree dudes last summer, but they’d left the stump. Enter team men with mallet and pick ax.<\/p>\n

Now I’ll be able to see my\u00a0lovely big-leaf beauty\u00a0from kitchen and patio–with a\u00a0bonus of making it visible to my new neighbors. I can’t wait until they trust me enough to accept my guerilla gardening ways.<\/p>\n
