Magnolia Blossom
The type genus of the family Magnoliaceae, this large and varied genus consists of around 100 species of deciduous and evergreen trees as well as countless cultivars, and occurs naturally throughout Asia and North America. They are renowned for their large simple leaves and attractive flowers, which are often borne on bare branches before the foliage appears. A number of species are fragrant, perhaps none more so than the famous southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora). These trees are fast growing and rather resilient, but they need to be planted in a sheltered spot as wind and frost can damage the beautiful blooms. The genus name honours the French botanist Pierre Magnol
As far as tannins in the blossoms, these blossoms seem to contain quite a good quantity of them, and you will get a good, golden-brown tint with several pods in a relatively modest-sized aquarium.
Our Magnolia Pods are 100% locally sourced, natural, untreated and gently dried in the air.
Magnolia leaves can be added directly into the aquarium after a short boil and little "steep / soak". Will produce a fair amount of biofilm in the first few weeks.
