Mystery Object in the Yard: A Fuzzy Cone with Bright Red Berries
Magnolia seed pods form after the tree’s large, fragrant flowers finish blooming. The pod begins as a small green structure that slowly matures through the summer months. By early fall, it turns brown and woody, eventually splitting open to reveal vivid red seeds. These seeds are surrounded by a fleshy covering that attracts birds and other wildlife. When animals eat the seeds, they help spread them to new locations, supporting the tree’s natural growth cycle.
