Description

‘D.D. Blanchard’ is a magnificent evergreen Southern Magnolia with large dark green leaves and rusty undersides on an upright, pyramidal form. It has the ability to maintain a straight central trunk that allows it to be grown full to the ground or be pruned into tree form with a visible trunk. All grown up D. D. Blanchard can reach a height of up to 75 feet tall and 30 feet wide but is usually seen at 50 feet or lower at maturity. Very large and highly fragrant cup-shaped flowers of 8 inches in diameter will fill the garden with lemony-sweet aroma during summer.

If you don’t have room for a large grow such as ‘D. D. Blanchard’ check out its smaller, half-sized cousins the ‘Little Gem’ Magnolia or ‘Teddy Bear’ Magnolia.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing in an upright pyramidal form 50 feet or more in height and 20 to 30 feet wide, the D. D. Blanchard Magnolia is ideal for use as a focal point specimen, in groupings, or in tall privacy screen plantings. Also useful to frame the corners of tall homes and other buildings. A fine addition to fragrance gardens, white theme gardens, bird and wildlife gardens, and cut flower and cottage gardens.

Spacing: 15 feet apart for privacy screens; 35 feet or more apart for space between trees

Growing Preferences

D. D. Blanchard Magnolia is very easy to grow in a moist but well-drained soil of average or better fertility, preferring one that is rich in organic matter. Grows well in full sun or part shade. At least 4 hours of direct sunlight or all-day filtered sun is suggested.

This order is either the second or third order I made From Wilson Brothers. Initially I was very hesitant to order plants over the internet. In the previous order I had a issue with the order and Wilson Brothers helped me work through the issues until they were resolved.
Based on their effort I order 4 Magnolias and six azaleas. All of the plants arrived and good shape and the azaleas started to bloom within two weeks of planting. As a matter of fact, as shown in the picture below after 30 days of planting they growing faster and better than the existing azaleas planted 8 months earlier.
I would strong recommend Wilson Brothers for all of your planting requirements.—————————————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
