Magnolia Tree

These photos were taken some time back. I found these in my photo file and decided to show them here on the blog. One is of the huge tree in my front yard. If there is such a thing as hating a tree, then I hate this tree. I definitely do not like it!
This tree drops something constantly, year round. Part year, there are the big slick, stiff leaves that fall and have to be raked up because they are not good for the lawnmower blades. The other half of the year, the pods dry up and fall and they are even worse on the mower blades. It is a year 'round job to keep all this cleaned up from the big tree.
