My Evergreen Magnolia Tree

I posted a few days ago (link below) about the seed pods on my Magnolia tree in the yard. I was asked by @RebeccasFarm to share the entire tree. So here it is. About 25 - 30 feet tall I would say. The saucer sized white blooms in the spring and summer are nice to see and very fragrant as well. And it stays green year round. Another bonus to this tree. Photo is mine.
Every year during the fall the Southern Magnolia tree produces these seed pods. The red seeds are often eaten by many birds. You can also plant magnolia trees...

We had one in the garden and it broke my heart when we had to take it down. It was too tall and dangerous for the house. The insurance warned us than in case of damaged caused by that tree they would have not reimbursed.

@cacay1 Because I have no interest to plant a small tree and wait for years to see it grow and because there is no place in the garden where it would be safe growing up.

@CarolDM The tree was taller than our 3-storey house, I was really sad to be obliged to take the decision to cut it.

That's a scenic picture and the tree looks awesome. I guess that you have a huge place to have such big trees in your yard. And who would not like to have one such evergreen tree in their yard.

@CarolDM That's huge. It's beyond imagination for regular people in our country with the space crunch due to population density

Well, for those of you who like flower plants, magnolias have many interesting facts that you need to know. Come on, see the reviews 1. Included in the Magnoliaceae family, magnolias have about 304 species that differ in types of size, shape, flower color, and habitat 2. The size of the magnolia tree depends on the type of species. Species with smaller flower sizes, tree height of about 4 meters. While the larger species, the tree can grow up to 24 meters 3. Magnolia 'Atlas' is a species of magnolia whose flowers can reach up to 14 inches in width 4. Magnolia is a prehistoric flower, you know. Fossils that have been found reveal that magnolia plants have been around for at least 20 million years 5. The bark of the Magnolia officinalis tree is often used in traditional Chinese medicine to improve lung health and treat anxiety 6. According to the IUCN Red List, of the 304 species of magnolia, 147 of them are endangered wild magnolia species 7. Magnolias can be grown from seeds, but it takes more than 10 years to start flowering 8. There are magnolia varieties suitable for small gardens, such as Magnolia liliiflora 'Nigra' and Magnolia stellate I really like the magnolia that blooms this spring
