10 Questions
Why did you choose this?

Such a lovely tree with even more potential beauty in the future and for many years to come.

the "right size" magnolia for my yard.

Size, evergreen

I liked it

How tall do they grow?

I've had mine for about 3 years and it's just over 6 feet tall. They sent me a great specimen of about 5 feet tall. It's a hardy tree, it survived last winter in zone ~6 Missouri, didn't lose any leaves. Love this tree. Just remember you never really know what you will get from Stark Bros because they have a few different growers, but generally speaking they send good trees, if a little pricier than what you might find locally.

Can this grow in western WA?

This tree will grow as long as you are in zones 6 - 9.

My leaves are reddish brown in winter , is that normal?

All the leaves are brown or few of them? Also is the whole leaf brown or just the part of it?

Grown about a foot since I planted it earlier in the season
So far so good. The Kay Parris Magnolia Tree has grown about a foot since I planted it earlier in the season. Lovely white saucer-like flowers and glossy large leaves. Not as fragrant as I'd hoped, but here's to hoping the leaves are truly evergreen in my area (Mid-Atlantic)

So far, so good
So far, so good. This magnolia has been in the ground for maybe 3 months and is doing well. I have had two magnolias die inexplicably, and this is my last try at it. I love them, and successfully grew one at my last house. Fingers crossed this one sticks with me.

Hardy Stock
I ordered this tree over the winter not thinking it would arrive during my spring vacation. The plant arrived while I was away and sat in its shipping box for a week. Not something I'd recommend but the magnolia leafed out just fine and seems to be thriving. Stark trees never disappoint.
