10. Growing Your Own Magnolia Tree
It is possible to grow a new tree from these seeds, but it takes a bit of work and a lot of waiting. The seeds need to go through a “cold period” to trick them into thinking winter has passed so they are ready to grow.
You can do this by keeping the seeds in a damp paper towel inside your refrigerator for a few months. After that, you can plant them in good soil and keep them in a sunny spot. It might take several weeks or even months to see a tiny sprout, so don’t give up!
11. Interesting Facts About Magnolias
Magnolia trees are incredibly old. They have been on Earth for over 95 million years! They are one of the oldest types of flowering plants still alive today.
Because they appeared before bees were common, they actually use beetles to help move their pollen around. Also, their flowers don’t make traditional nectar; instead, they offer a special kind of pollen that is high in protein. This ancient history is why their seed pods look so different from the fruits of many newer plant species.
