We have lots of magnolias in Memphis. DO NOT plant them expecting them to be bushes. They grow up into huge trees in our mild climate. They have huge white flowers with a heavy, over-ripe fruit aroma. After the flowers, they produce these odd seed pods. And look!
Seeds like those little square pieces of candy-coated gum! I did not try one, but it looks like some pre-historic gum dispenser. God had fun making this tree.
