Episode 7: The Southern Magnolia

In this episode, I talk about one of the most loved trees of the American South. The Southern Magnolia has played an important role in the study of prehistoric plants and has been featured as an iconic piece of US presidential history. Music is by Academy Garden. Cover art is by @boomerangbrit on Instagram. Follow me on Twitter @MyFavoriteTrees.
