WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE FOREST?
Coming Soon–A Magnolia Tree. Before planting a tree, I like to prepare the site for about a month & kill that well-established grass using a rubber mat. Once the grass is real dead, I cover it with wood chips for a mulch. Last weekend, I picked up a magnolia tree from Manza’s Family Farm in Montgomery, Orange County. We’ll see how Magnolia likes the site. You never know.
