A clue for you: “The Grandmother Magnolia” and “The Grandfather Pine” have a circle raked in the soil around each tree trunk. “Mature survivors” is a way to think of “The Grandmother Magnolia” and “The Grandfather Pine.” They have grown in the forest at Sportsman Lake Park for decades. The pine tree and the magnolia tree admired each other from some distance. They grow old together, this Grandmother Magnolia and Grandfather Pine. THANK YOU “GRANDMOTHER MAGNOLIA” and “GRANDFATHER PINE!” AUF WIEDERSEHEN Y’ALL!
