Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comHas this tree been in the U.S. long enough for it to be a host for insects? I am wondering if I need to plant some other plants to feed the birds around here, as I have heard bad things about the impact of non-native plants on birds.

1 Comment To "Star Magnolia"
#1 Comment By shelley On 04/07/2015 @ 1:26 am
