There's a pretty extensive list ... (and it includes Virginia pine) ...
... and ...
# MAGNOLIA, SWEETBAY (Magnolia virginiana)
Multistemmed, small tree or open shrub. Likes wet, acid soils. Tolerates shade. Used as specimen tree. White to cream colored flowers that have a strong lemon and rose-scented smell. Wildlife value is low. Seeds are eaten by some mammals and birds. Foliage is used by several birds for nest building.
# PAWPAW (Asimina triloba)
A shrub or small tree that tolerates shade, pawpaw produces a fruit that is readily eaten by wildlife. Flowers open greenish-brown and become deep red.
... as well as southern Magnolia ... lots of trees. Pretty nice. Wish PJ knew about it when we were suggesting trees for him! Wonder what he ever got ...?
