You can never have enough...

I planted a yellow magnolia in one of my Blenheim gardens, I often wonder how it is doing twenty years later. There was a massive old grandiflora in the Campbell Road garden, that I used to climb up into with a book, to get away from my sister and her friends. She was always a very social child and I wasn't so it was a great escape! Might be that tree that gave me my love of them.
The seed pods are great in blackwater aquariums too. The fish love them. And the branches go on forever in water so florists use them a lot.

But my favourite tree has to be a copper beech...
