Wiring Up the Multi-Trunk Saucer Magnolia
We have a front yard Saucer Magnolia tree that was planted in the Summer of 2017 by our landscaper that has been with us since we moved into our new house. The first time that I posted about this Saucer Magnolia was when I shared a photo of the tree in early August 2017 and talked about how I had 'limb'ed up' the tree to remove some of the lower branching and some newly emerging trunks from the base. Our tree is multi-trunked (or multi-stemmed and/or multiple trunks) and at the time I was deciding to remove some of the stems/trunks that were shooting out sideways. By September of 2017, it seemed that the tree had survived the Summer transplant (but...look at the lawn! yikes!) and was showing plenty of green leaves. The following February (2018), I did my first Winter check-in on the tree where it was showing off some buds that it had set the previous (first) Fall. And by May of 2018, the tree put on a show: flowers . I didn't include photos of the tree
