Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Comes from seedlngs from Joe McDaniel sent to Don Shadow from Tennessee. This great evergreen tree will get 25’x15’. We sell many plants of M. virginiana in the Willamette Valley because of the wet soils. M. virginiana does very well in wet areas. The white flowers are 2” across and appear most of our summer.
