Here is my Magnolia named today Maggie. Planted in the new bit of the garden now the slabs have come up and the compost etc added, and Maggie is ready bloom - fingers crossed.

Maggie is lovely Kazz!! Magnolia trees are my very favourite. I have a large one in the garden, it's my most favourite tree in the garden. It's in bloom now and Lucky is buried right underneath it

Must get a piccie of it..

Yes please Fran I love them I have been nurturing and egging on Maggie since she was a forgotten twig - yet again another "sad rejected Plant I brought" odd I wouldn't have a runt of a litter be it dog cat whatever but I do buy lost soul plants.

Here is a piccie taken last year after it had flowered. I will take a more recent piccie of it as it does look extremely beautiful in full bloom

Its gonna look lovely Kazz, and be as big and strong as Fran's tree soon!!! Unfortunately I cannot have anything big in my garden as it wont fit!!!

Do you name all the plants, or just the long-term residents?
She's gone a long way from desperate twig. Nice proportions.

She is lucky she has such a good Nursery maid!

I love Maggie.

As you know I'm not good in the garden. But I do love magnolia & I know we have got one in full bloom in the garden - I'll get a picture of her later.

I don't think mine will get as big as Fran's mine is a shrub type not the tree resort I hope

I haven't got plans for a tree there.

Thank you yes she has come on well.

And only the long term "decent sized plants do I name" or maybe Ishould say those I seem to "take under my wing

so far I have...........

Maggie the Magnolia.
Sunny the Sundance
Acer - the Acer obviously (also a rescued twig)
Junior - the little Acer (also a rescued twig)
Alfred (large Holly) really Golden Queen
The Peries arejust known as Little and Large

The tree's have names sort of or at least names we recognise them by when I try to piont something out.

The big tree ( for obvious reasons)
White Tree (has white blossom in Spring)
Leggy Tree (a new addition this year, he is tall and thin)
Oscar's Tree (meant to be planted by where Oscar is buried but I decided against itwhen I saw the tree's the Leggytree is planted there but still the one tree is called Oscar's tree)
Conifer tree or Shed tree(the tree planted byt he shed/conifer)
Acer
Junior
Old Yella (a yellow acer just behind the big Acer.)

Does no one else name their plants tree's

I have got two new acers today and they are to be called Eric and Ernie after M&W
