Kobus magnolia, native to Japan and Korea, is an early-flowering tree with fragrant, white blooms often tinged with pink. Blooms appear in late winter or early spring before the foliage and give way to red autumn seeds that attract birds. Trees may take 25–30 years to reach full bloom and have a slow growth rate. Parts of this tree are edible including its flowers and buds (often cooked) as well as its leaves which can be used fresh, dried, powdered as a seasoning, or brewed into tea, all offering a spicy, gingery flavor. This species is part of an impressive lineage that dates back over 95 million years.
