Magnolia virginiana


 

Magnolia virginiana
Sweetbay magnolia

An oval-shaped aggregate of follicles, red to dark red in color is produced in late summer. As the 1-2" aggregates mature, they split open to reveal orange-red seed coverings. They make a minor addition to the ornamental features of the species.
