Gorgeous tree. We use it to screen a somewhat busy street. Everyone comments on how beautiful it is. It is about 11 years old, and over 2 stories tall. It flowers all summer, and the flowers are fragrant.

Here in Peoria, IL there is an Edith Bogue growing in a parkway between the sidewalk and the street of all places. I was shocked to see it. It was about 12-15 feet tall and wide with fully leaved branches suggesting little damage in past winters despite its harsh location. We just had lows last week around -17F and the leaves appeared healthy and could not noticeably see any burn. After seeing that I am convinced they can grow here reliably well enough that people shouldnt be too scared of planting one. I am going to plant one in my back yard this upcoming growing season.

I just bought a DD Blanchard and Edith Bogue Southern Magnolia from Plant Land Garden Center in Breese, IL. Its about 40 east of St. Louis. They had quite a few mags for fair price. Good to know for us N. Illinoisans trying to find S Mags not to far away.
