Storms in the late Spring of 2011 knocked over a 200 year old oak tree located on the left side of number 11 fairway. After the research of many different trees it was decided to transplant a magnolia tree from 10 tee to 11 fairway.
 |
| Magnolia grandiflora: Also know as Southern Magnolia, Evergreen Magnolia, or Bull Bay. | |
 |
| Flowers: Perfect, creamy white, beautifully fragrant, 8 to 12'' in diameter, in May-June, sporadically thereafter. |
 |
| Diseases and Insects: Essentially problem free. |
 |
| Size: 60 to 80' in height with a spread of 30 to 50'; national champion 98' by 90' in Jones City MS. |
 |
| Leaf Color: Lustrous dark green above, lighter green below and often rusty color beneath. |
 |
| Culture: Transplant balled-and-burlapped; soil should be rich, porous, acidulous and well-drained; full sun or partial shade. |
 |
| Tolerates high soil moisture; often shocks (drops some leaves) when transplanted. |
 |
| If leaves drop new growth replaces sings from transplanting. |
 |
| The process took three days to complete and it will take another three or four days to rebuild the retaining wall and repair concrete behind 10 tee thank you for your patience during this process. |
