Imagine a tree rising like a verdant pyramid, its branches reaching towards the sun, adorned with the largest, glossiest leaves of any magnolia. That’s the D.D. Blanchard. These emerald giants can reach majestic heights of 80 feet, casting cool shade amidst the Florida heat and offering spectacular displays of nature’s grandeur. Their leaves, shimmering with sunlight on top and kissed with a warm brown hue underneath, create a visual symphony that’s uniquely Florida.
