Did you Know? The Southern magnolia is one of the most beautiful trees and is therefore highly valued as an ornamental. The Choctaw and Kosati tribes used the bark of this tree as a dermatological aid. The Southern magnolia is the state tree of both Louisiana and Mississippi.

Identification Hints: Magnolias have distinctive large, shiny evergreen leaves, and large fragrant flowers with many long narrow petals. Sweetbay magnolia (Magnolia virginiana) also occurs in southern coastal plains but has thinner leaves with whitish undersides.
