This Tree..

[Missy]

********
Just recently, I was visiting my grandfather, and I saw a beautiful tree I had never noticed before. I pondered over it a million times, and just could not put a name on it. Not that I know that much about*gardening*in the first place, but this tree really sparked my interest.

*

This bulletin thing only allows me to attch one picture, so I will post two other seperate blogs, with different views of the tree.

If anyone could please help me out, I would really appreciate it!

Thanks! (:

Hi Missy,

Your picture is very small, but it appears to be a magnolia.* I can't quite see the leaves from the picture, but if they are thick and leathery with rust undersides, then it would be a southern magnolia.* If the leaves are all green it might be a saucer magnolia.
