HI: Are you going to be pruning you magnolia tree soon? Do you live in the Vancouver area? If yes, please let me know as i am looking for the leaves for an art project.You can see my work at:http://www.nicoledextras.com/ephemeralart/weeds/01.html and http://www.flickr.com/photos/ndextras/sets/72157594223074171/ thanks nicole
Maybe you can find some southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora) leaves lying on the ground at a mall or other location where nobody would care if you picked them up.
