I have been fascinated by Rubber trees since my childhood. They are the first Love in the Tree Love series.
Firstly, because of the shiny green leaves it bears.
Secondly, because of the by-product this tree provides.
Thirdly I have seen the rubber tree plantation with my own eyes…
Southern Magnolia, scientifically known as Magnolia grandiflora, is a majestic and evergreen tree that can reach heights of 60 to 80 feet, with some exceptional specimens growing up to 90 or 100 feet tall. This tree features dark glossy green leaves on top and a fuzzy, rusty or light brown underside. The leaves are thick, stiff, and leathery in texture, measuring 5 to 10 inches in length and 4 to 5 inches in width.
Southern magnolias produce the largest flowers of any cultivated tree, with creamy white blooms that can be 5 to 12 inches in diameter and emit a sweet lemony fragrance. The tree's fruit is a pinkish red aggregate of follicles, about 5 inches long, which split open in late summer to reveal dark red seeds. With its stunning appearance and delightful fragrance, the Southern Magnolia is a favorite among gardeners.
Today is hug a tree day. Find a tree that speaks to you and wrap your arms around it. Feel the bark against your arms and the ground supporting your feet. Stay connected to yourself and to nature.
