Arrival of a Magnolia Seed Pod

Our young magnolia tree recently developed a seed pod and has produced the red berries containing magnolia seeds.  This is a recently planted tree (last week of September; the berries appeared about four weeks after planting.  I do not intend to harvest the seeds this year considering the tree has not adapted to its current micro-climate.  And, the berries are an autumnal food source for birds.  For more on magnolia virginiana: link.
