I have seen Magnolia trees in Texas and Missouri. I live in Colorado and would like to purchase one for my yard. Will it survive?

I would get expert advice from your local garden source. If you live in the more temperate area of Colorado, you might be able to plant the tree in a sheltered area and have success. Magnolias grow wild here in Georgia. We see them in the mountains quite often, but they cannot withstand severe cold or wind.

Looks like you can. Magnolias are hardy in zones 4-7. You are zone 4 right? Yea, just been confirmed...You are in zone 4 and you can grow a magnolia.

It won't survive. Between the altitude and the cold, it's a lost cause. I've lived here my entire life, and even as little a difference as 1 frost zone means plants don't make it. It's at least 2-3 zone difference between here and Texas. Tell your mom to leave the tree in Texas, rather than just bringing one up here to kill it.

Not likely. It's just too cold in the winter for them. They grow in Albuquerque in protected areas, but they don't get the subzero temps you do in Colorado.
