| Species Common Name: |
Cucumber Magnolia |
|
Species Scientific Name: |
Magnolia acuminata |
| Tree Category: |
Beautiful Tree |
| Significance of Tree: |
I found this tree one day while I was
walking along Fall Creek. It was the first Cucumber magnolia I had
ever seen in real life. The pictures I had previously seen of this
tree did not do justice to its large, lustrous leaves, its red-orange
fruits, and its Reese's-Pieces-like seeds that dangle on little
threads. Now, having seen firsthand the appeal of this tree, I have
helped to plant several young Cucumber magnolias around Indianapolis. |
| Address of Tree: |
2900 N. College Avenue.
Directions: Go to the intersection of College Ave. and Fall
Creek Parkway N. Dr. On the southwest corner of the intersection there
is a soccer field. The Cucumber magnolia is on the east end of the
soccer field, up against the College Ave. bridge. |
