Zone 9a

12:39 PM | I have the opportunity to purchase a Butterflies Magnolia. I've looked it up in the a href="/guides/pf/">a href="/guides/pf/">PlantFiles. Zoned from 4a-8b and I live in 9a, is this tree going to tolerate my zone. I live just south of Houston so we have black land clay, those of us who live here call it gumbo. Soil goes from mushy mud to highly compacted when dry. We also have an average of 60" of rain a year. We also live 13 miles as the crow flies to the gulf. We have a south or southeast wind 85% of the year and many days one can smell the salt in the air. Can this tree thrive under these conditions or am I going to have to baby this tree along. I'm curious as I will be selling my home and moving within two years to Central Texas. Live oaks thrive here so if you live where live oaks thrive and have "Butterflies" I would think this tree could do well.
