What I'm not sure is if the large trees on the grounds were planted or native seeded trees that ended up incorporated into the landscaping. The Vanderbilt Mansion nearby has large mature trees of a wide selection though I did not have enough time to tour the entire grounds there nor did I see the Cucumber Tree Magnolia.<br />I do frequently visit the Wilkes-Barre area in Northeast Pennsylvania as I have family there....I have never come across this tree there. There is a large M. acuminata here in my neighborhood Columbia, MD however it is likely that it was planted around 1967 when the homes were build and the manmade lake that it grows by was created. The tallest Cucumber Magnolia I've ever seen was on a native plant hike that I took at the Audubon Sanctuary in Bethesda, Maryland ( photos above ). It was as lush as could be after Maryland's hottest month on record. This was the straight Acuminata and not the subspecies subcordata which can also occur around here.Randy Stewart Landscape Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10240335840269859128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549138721120835403.post-34337759533718222642012-06-27T13:16:14.066-04:002012-06-27T13:16:14.066-04:00I had come across this old blog post while looking...I had come across this old blog post while looking for Magnolia acuminata accounts in the US. I am an MSc. student from Trent U in Ontario and I am currently doing genetic work on this species and am looking to expand my samples to include individuals in the states. I am particularly interested in the trees you have posted in NY and PA, I am assuming they are easily found in the park and Arboretum? Do you know of other accounts of natural stands and/or individuals in these areas??? Any information would be of great help!...C.EM.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10863787284632306483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549138721120835403.post-46414953106567369562010-06-09T00:54:11.512-04:002010-06-09T00:54:11.512-04:00Really like your blog too, actually one of my favo...Really like your blog too, actually one of my favorites. If you see a "Randy" commenting; that is me.<br />I'm surprised how restricted Magnolia ashe is with it's native range being that it seems so easy to grow far north of its native range.<br />Wouold love to see it in the wild. Would also like to see some wild Illiciums in the Florida panhandleRandy Stewart Landscape Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10240335840269859128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549138721120835403.post-61773173411810575112010-05-30T09:22:17.245-04:002010-05-30T09:22:17.245-04:00I just chanced upon your blog and I am totally imp...I just chanced upon your blog and I am totally impressed. I was looking for a variety description for Ilex vomitoria 'Tannenbaum'. Didn't find it but was totally distracted by the magnolia post. I just saw M. ashei in the wild in the Florida panhandle for the first time.
