FREE: *Southern Magnolia* seeds (5)

The listing, *Southern Magnolia* seeds (5) has ended.

One of the most beautiful native trees, evergreen with straight trunk, conical crown, and very fragrant, very large, white flowers. The pyramidal southern magnolia does not get extremely large in most of its range. It is usually 50 ft. tall, rarely growing to 100 ft. They have a dense growth of smooth, leathery evergreen leaves that are alternate, 5–10 inches long, shiny on top and rusty below. Fragrant, creamy-white flowers, which discolor easily if bruised, appear on the ends of thick, tough stems all over the tree. They are cup-shaped, about 8 inches across, with 6 thick petals, wider at the tip, where they are cupped. The blossoms open about 9:00 A.M. and close at night for 2 or 3 days; then all the stamens are shed and the flower reopens, turns brown, and disintegrates. The flowers appear throughout the summer and into fall. The flowers produce conelike seedpods that contain large red seeds. When the pods open, the seeds often fall from their place and hang by silky threads. It is a popular ornamental and shade tree. If you don't plant the seeds immediately, store them at 40 degrees Fahrenheit (refrigerator temperature). If stored at room temperature the seeds may lose their viability. Place in a sealed plastic bag with an equal mixture of river sand and peat moss that is as moist as a well-wrung sponge. You can store seeds up to 6 months.
