The Jane Magnolia Tree Blooms
Our home would not be complete without our Jane Magnolia Tree.
Twenty years ago, our son chose a Jane Magnolia to give to me for Mother’s day. We promptly planted it and enjoyed its beautiful blooms.
A few short years later, we moved and had to leave our beauty behind. It nearly broke my heart to have to part with that tree.
When we purchased our new house, the boxes were not even unpacked before we sought out another Jane Magnolia. Today, it is every bit as important and treasured as the first gift. It stands as a constant reminder of my son’s thoughtful and giving disposition.
Each year we are delighted with the most beautiful display of delicate perfection!
One of our first Gifts of Spring is our Jane Magnolia blooming. As you can see, even the grass is not green yet.

Our Jane Magnolia Tree
We always buy our trees when they are babies. There are several reasons why we choose the smaller trees. They are less expensive, easier to transport and much easier to plant.
Because they are so young when we bring them home, we all tend to form a special attachment to each of them. On a really cold night, you might find either member of our household out wrapping a blanket around the base of the tree in order to keep it warm.
This little girl has been pampered and protected by all of us. Even our fur babies know to be careful around her. After all, one hard tweak of a dogs big tail could destroy the fragile blooms on the lower limbs of the tree.

I absolutely love Magnolias!! We have a large mature one in our garden and we treasure it. They are so precious and beautiful. I know when we eventually leave here it will be heartbreaking to leave it, but have already vowed that we will buy a young one and plant it wherever we live. Love your beautiful photos 🙂
Living in southern Georgia, Magnolias are very popular. Your Jane Magnolia tree is gorgeous.
I have always loved Magnolia trees the first time I seen them. Beautiful. Stunning. Elegant are a few words that come to mine.
The thing I love with magnolias is that when they bloom, there’s no leave yet, this makes these trees absolutely stunning, all those beautiful delicate big flowers, seeing only them… Then, once they die, they look like leather, once again, beautiful even though it means the end.
Are these trees more like a bush with leaves/blooms to the bottom, or more like a tree with a longer trunk with leaves/blooms at the top?
The Jane Magnolia has leaves and blooms on all branches from top to bottom, which resembles a bush.
