Magnolia tripetala (L.) L. Umbrella tree
Umbrella trees are North American natives, common on the slopes of the Appalachian Mountains. Identification: Trees are 15-40' (4.6-12 m) tall. Leaves are very large—12-24" (30-60 cm)—an uniquely shaped, in six-leaved whorls at branch tips that look like ribs of an umbrella. Showy, creamy white flowers, 3-5" (7.6-12 cm) around, appear above the leaf whorls. They have an unpleasant odor. Fruits look a little like cones in shape, and are 4-6" (10-15 cm) long.
