Fact #1: The Sweetbay Magnolia flowers are creamy white and carry a citrus vanilla fragrance.
Fact #2: During colonial times, trappers used the fleshy roots of the magnolia tree to attract beavers. Beavers are drawn to its roots and aromatic bark which is why it was commonly known as the “Beaver Tree”.
Fact #3: The Sweetbay Magnolia is a Semi-Evergreen tree, meaning its leaves may stay green year-round depending on the climate. In warmer regions it remains evergreen, but in northern areas it behaves like a deciduous tree and drops its leaves in the winter.
