Red Berries - Star Magnolia and False Soloman’s Seal
Haven’t seen this before…the star magnolia has produced some berries. The little tree is about 5-6 feet tall and 8-9 years old. It flowered beautifully in very early spring. The number of blossoms was twice that of the previous year. The year before that there was only one blossom. Now this small decorative magnolia tree is showing several groups of two or three red-orange berries. What a nice surprise!

False Soloman’s Seal is heavy with bright red berries. The terminal cluster of berries is so heavy it weighs the tip of the plant down to the ground. Perfect for repopulating the area with more soloman’s seal plants for next year. The berries are practically on the ground, so many critters would have easy access to them as a food source.
