Perfect 1 gallon size for planting this relatively fast to mature Magnolia macrophylla var. ashei example. Quick delivery of well rooted plant. 'Mail Order Natives' provides a great service offering this magnolia species Garden Club of America 2017 Plant-of-the-Year (https://www.gcamerica.org/news/get/id/1183). It is so nice to have Mail-Order-Natives listed as one of the exceptional resources by the Magnolia Society International (https://www.magnoliasociety.org/).
I have been purchasing plants from mail order natives for several years. They always arrive on time, well packed and healthy. Plants have grown well. This Ashe Magnolia arrived promptly and looks very healthy. I will keep on buying plants from Emily
Arrived well-packed and in great shape. Planted same day, and it's looking good days later! I couldn't be more pleased.
I bought this to have a banana leaf like shrubby tree with magnolia flowers (as I love the scent). Honestly, I haven't planted it in the best conditions for this plant (but it's in the most attractive area in my garden for it though) so I delayed on writing my review. I'm in Zone 6b and have it planted in heavy clay/loam, 11-hour full sun on the cusp of a sharp slope. At first the leaves fried (which I expected 'cause this plant usually prefers part shade), but I've diligently watered (after testing soil with a moisture meter) and staked a temporary shade cloth around it. It took a bit to adjust to my transplant shock, but now the plant is putting on good growth and is peeking above the shade cloth but not suffering for it. I recommend giving it a try if you're on the fence; I've read reviews from others growing this in tougher situations and Ashe magnolia is a harder plant than most expect.
Plant arrived in excellent shape and great packaging. Thanks so much!
This beautiful plant arrived in perfect condition due to the excellent packing for shipping. The tree has a very healthy root system. I repotted in a larger pot and look forward to finding the perfect spot for planting. Thank you.
from other mail order place, for the price, I was expecting a bare root stick. The plant I'd received exceeded my expectation. Received a healthy tree about 15" with established root system. Well packaged and arrive with no damage. Thanks!
Arrived on time and in great condition. Will definitely be purchasing from this site again!!
REally nice, big plant. Hoping it does well here in West TExas, but if it doesn't it has nothing to do with the quality of the plant I received.
