Re: banana shrub

Thank you, SallyAnn...for years, my Mom has gone on about her
Magnolia Pfisicatta and I have told her there was no such plant.  I

after I saw your post and found some info., printed it out and sent
it on to Mom!  She is in northern Alabama - actually z7b - and as far
as I know, hers is still alive and kicking...
