Author Message   Drdanr  Posted on Monday, April 28, 2008 - 08:25 am EST :    did I get a good deal or what? 6 DD blanchard magnolia trees, 2 little gem magnolias, 2 ellie stevens holly trees, a majestic beauty indian hawthorn tree. The little gems when planted are about 4 ft tall and full of blooms and thick. the DD blanchard magnolias 6 of them...he gave me for free cause he said they werent up to standards to sell, but I figure the price is right I will take them. The indian hawhtorn tree is about 5 ft tall , and the ellie stevens holly trees are more like xmas trees..about 7 ft tall already...keep in mind i live on 6 acres..and the DD blanchards are planted 200 ft away from the house Drdanr - florida, Zone "zone 10"   Stephie  Posted on Monday, April 28, 2008 - 09:07 am EST :    Those "not-up-to-standard" trees will probably really surprise you! Haven't had a charity plant disappoint me yet...as if they understand that they are now "loved"!! I will have to look up your types. Really good prices!!!! Stephie   Drdanr  Posted on Monday, April 28, 2008 - 09:50 am EST :    Yeah those free trees grow to over 50 ft tall and a huge span too. I put 3 of them on one side of the house to block the view of a neighbor 1/2 mile away. from what I've seen on prices online, All this stuff being the size they are would have cost well over a grand...those DD blanchard magnolias are already 10-12 ft tall now Drdanr - florida, Zone "zone 10"   Sunnyday2day  Supporting Member My Favorite Photo My Weather My Time Posted on Monday, April 28, 2008 - 07:38 pm EST :    Congratulations on your major bargains!
