Magnolia .. hmm .. they are messy, messy trees. Did you know that the magnolia is of an ancient genus? They evolved even before bees came into being. There are fossil records of magnolia dating back over 20 million years ago. I love the scent of the flowers and the trees are beautiful, but they are a mess when they start dropping leaves and seeds.

I've made my decision on the cherry .. since it's best to plant them in the late fall, I will have plenty of time to prepare the ground for it.

Thanks to all for your suggestions!
