Stop #6: Washington Hawthorne and Magnolia

map of the tour.

 

Exit the terrace on the side where you entered. Walk across the lawn to the columnar shaped Magnolia Tree.

Southern Magnolia, columnar variety

Also note the long Washington Hawthorne hedge behind the magnolia that flanks the entrance road. Both were part of Arthur’s original woodland garden.

The Hawthorne hedge grew wild for many years, reaching over 20 feet high. We are working on taming it and restoring it as the hedge it used to be.
