Depending on the weather each year, the Magnolia tree starts to bud.
At that time, you can cut these buds to display at your holiday table.
The branch is very thick, so be careful and make sure you have good cutters. If it has flowered, than it is too late to cut it!
1-Place the branch when it is just a BUD in warm water.
Not a vase just yet!
2-In approximately one week it will bloom indoors.
3-Wow! You will love the results. Float them in a bowl or a heavy vase.This heavy branch may tip so use rocks at the base.
If its not your tree, please ask permission. I’m not responsible for any arrests made!
By the way, my tree is off limits! Enjoy. Happy Holiday.
After Passover, you can enjoy my homemade biscotti. Check out http://www.lottiebiscotti.com/.
