Southern Magnolia Tree
Growth Rate- 12 to 24 inches a year
Full Height- 100 feet
Climate it grows best in- Late spring and early summer
Life span- 80 to 120 years
Leaves- shiny green, with a reddish color on the bottom

Reprocuction Method- Their fragrance attracts beetles which finally carry out the pollination for these trees. Once the pollination is done, the trees bear fruits which contain seeds. The magnolia tree seed pods or fruits are in the shape of a cone, which is green in color and full of scales. As the fruit matures, the fruit breaks and the bright red seeds are exposed. The seeds can then either transform into plants or may be fed on by birds.
