Our MyTree™ Story for April is from Sue, who gifted her mum a beautiful Susan Magnolia Tree back in 2018 — a heartfelt housewarming gift to celebrate a new chapter in life.
Sue’s mum was planning a house move, and Sue wanted something a little more meaningful than the usual bouquet — something that would grow with her mum in her new garden. Having previously gifted a pear tree from Tree2mydoor, she was looking for a new and unique living gift.
Sue has always loved magnolia trees, and discovering a variety with her own name; the Susan Magnolia felt like serendipity. She knew this tree would be a special reminder of her love, especially as she now lives in the Netherlands.
April is a wonderful time to gift a Susan Magnolia. These trees bloom in early spring, unfurling vibrant pink blossoms and releasing a delicate fragrance... a breath of fresh air for any garden. Whether as a housewarming present or an April birthday gift, the Susan Magnolia brings joy, beauty and longevity.
Sue’s mum was delighted with the tree. It’s thriving in a pot, which allows her to move it around the garden as she pleases. Healthy and full of promise, she eagerly anticipates the moment it flowers each spring.
Sue shared that she didn’t want to send a run-of-the-mill bunch of flowers. She wanted something meaningful — a gift her mum could nurture and enjoy over time. Knowing her mum often returns from visits to the Netherlands with trees and plants, Sue knew this gift would hit the mark.
If you’re looking for a thoughtful, nature-connected way to welcome someone into their new home, the Susan Magnolia Tree makes a wonderful housewarming gift that blossoms year after year.
Sue left us this lovely review:
“The Magnolia arrived safely packaged as a gift to my Mum and the tree itself was very healthy looking with a few flowers already out and lots of buds waiting to flower.
My Mum loves it and it looks great in her garden.”
