'Edith Bogue' Southern Magnolia Update: 5/12/19

My 'Edith Bogue' Southern Magnolia survived the winter just fine with winter burn. The tree is shedding all the dead leaves, and every single branch is alive and sending up new shoots. Reached a temp of -13°F with winds over 30 mph back on January 31. So excited to see it fill back in! 😁
