And a new Magnolia "Royal Star" in a 5-gallon pot which I plan to plant in my front yard. It's a "dwarfish" version of the magnolia tree. I understand that its habit is 10-15 feet, which allows me to keep it relatively contained as a multi-trunk shrub-tree at the outside corner of my British Pocket Garden. I just love it. I am hoping that it will provide me with nearly year-round visual interest, as it will be on the outside corner, opposite the inside corner, which will house a multi-trunk Crepe Myrtle. I am excited about the "find."

Look at the little flowers. Ummm, February interest. March/April will provide leaves. Winter will provide the trunk arrangement against my 4-ft Star Jasmine vine-covered fence.

Make sense? Am I missing something here?
