Japanese Magnolia Trees

Spring is my favorite season of all because I like seeing all the plants and trees coming back to life again after a long winter hibernation. It is the time of the year when I get my hands dirty in the yard cleaning up flower beds and adding more plants. Both my husband and I love flowering trees. Every year we try to buy one tree to plant and so far only one really survived. I always like to have Magnolia trees in the front yard specifically Japanese Magnolia trees because of the lovely light purple flowers. The very large fragrant blossoms usually appear before the leaves, so it is a wonderful sight and gives curb appeal to anybody's yard. I ordered another kind of Magnolia tree online once before and we also bought another in a nearby nursery but they didn't live. Hopefully this year we get some luck with Japanese Magnolia trees.
