Interesting: I have beeen around Charlottesville for almost 70 years, Lots of
kinffolk lived in the city and I pulled two stints at UVa and nevr noticed a
Magnolia, I know that they can be grown there with plenty of winter protection.


Magnolias can be grown in much colder climes that that, if you have the
right ones. My father-in-law has a magnolia in his front yard that has
been growing there for 30 years -- in New Castle, Indiana. It gets pretty
cold there, too.
