Notes:


You can easily find this tree by looking for it to the left of the front steps of Kirkland Hall.

Chinese or saucer magnolia is actually a hybrid of two magnolia species and is not native to the United States.  However, it is often planted as an ornamental and is more cold-hardy than other magnolias.

These trees are well-known on campus because they frame the front door of the main administration building. Their beautiful purplish-pink blooms are a sure sign that spring is just around the corner.
