Hi. In my quest to ID our garden, I think I've found the correct name for a tree in front of our home. I've been doing a lot of reading and found the magnolia Virginiana Sweetbay tree. Here is a pic taken today.
And the garden pic from book, "Native Alternatives to Invasive Plants" by Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Can anyone verify with these photos?
