Southern Magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora)
Grows wild and as lawn trees in Norco, Louisiana
New growth in spring.
Flowers have very pleasant fragrance.
Immature seed pod, mature seed pods and mature seeds in them. Seeds must be sown fresh and stratified.
Seeds in MOIST peat moss three weeks into the three month stratification needed to germinate in spring. Red husks and pulp have rotted away, leaving the tan seeds. Using fresh seeds and keeping them moist during stratification is VERY important for the seeds to retain their viability.
This is a tall narrow tree in my front yard.
Texas native tree.
Magnificent flowers.
