Very nice surprise after a disappointment from Chronopost: the package being too big, it was sorted by hand and I was delivered three days after the guaranteed delivery date for express delivery... Furthermore, it was supposed to be a gift, what a shame. As for the magnolia, it is splendid, larger than announced (at least a good meter) and arrived in good condition and well packaged. I was worried since it stayed closed in its box without light for nearly a week but no issues. I am considering ordering a second one, but I don't want to risk the Chronopost experience again for now.

Description
The Magnolia grandiflora 'D.d Blanchard' is a superb selection of a majestic evergreen tree known as the Magnolia with large flowers. With a splendid habit, dense and reminiscent of a large pyramid of greenery, it reveals the underside of its large leaves beautifully colored in brown-rust throughout the year. It blooms for nearly three months in summer, offering sublime flowers, resembling large white tulips with a deliciously lemony fragrance.
Originally from the Southeastern United States, the Magnolia grandiflora thrives in light, warm, moist, and rich, deep soils. Its range extends from Texas to Virginia, passing through the northern and central regions of Florida. In its natural habitat, it is found in wooded and humid areas, on non-alkaline soil.
'D.d Blanchard' is a cultivar selected in North Carolina for its rust-colored foliage on the underside and its ample and regular habit. At maturity, this tree will reach approximately 15 m (49 ft) in height and 8 m (26 ft) in width. Its growth is quite slow, although it quickly forms a particularly straight trunk from which slightly upright branches emerge towards the sky, forming an excellent shade tree, in the shape of a wide pyramid. Its leaves are evergreen in winter (except in case of very heavy frost), alternate, leathery, and 15-20 cm (1 and 6in) long. They are smooth and dark green and shiny on the upper side, brown-rust coloured and rough on the underside.
Flowering mainly occurs in summer, from June to August-September (in the southeastern USA, flowering begins in late April and ends in July). The large solitary flowers, 15 to 25 cm (6 to 10 in) in diameter and tulip-shaped, are composed of thick petals, creamy white, open around a cone covered with yellow stamens. Each flower lasts only one day on the tree, but they are continuously renewed. This flowering is followed by the formation of large reddish cone-shaped fruits, quite decorative, revealing red seeds.
The Magnolia grandiflora 'D.d Blanchard' is mainly used as a specimen tree in a large garden, but also as a street tree along a vast plot of land, or in a free hedge. Choose a strategic location in the garden to be able to admire this tree, perhaps the most beautiful of all evergreens, and thus enjoy its lemony flowering. It could be associated, for example, with another large magnolia, but deciduous and with spring flowering, such as the Magnolia soulangeana.

Planting and care
The Magnolia grandiflora 'D.d Blanchard' should be planted in spring in deep, rich, moist soil, even in summer, in a good forest soil (pH 6 approximately). Pure ericaceous compost is not recommended, as it is too poor and dries out quickly. Instead, use a mixture of topsoil and leaf compost. Dig a large planting hole, at least twice the size of the magnolia pot. It prefers a sunny and open position, sheltered from prevailing winds. Be careful not to break the fleshy roots and not to bury the root ball too deeply. Mulch and water in summer. Beware of heavy frosts and hot, dry summers. The foliage may be partially deciduous in cold winters. Be cautious of snow, as its weight can damage the branches. Maintain good moisture in summer by showering the foliage with a fine spray, only in the evening. Avoid overwatering with hard water. Pruning is unnecessary, but if desired, you can remove the lowest branches in winter to expose the trunk.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
