Magnolias have proven hardy in 
many sections throughout the 
Northwest, but in severe climates 
we recommend winter protection, 
bundling up the plant as one does a 
rose bush. Magnolias grow to the 
height of a small tree and are ideal 
when planted in the front lawn, 
creating a beautiful effect. We of¬
