Right in the heart of Downtown Moultrie sits one of the most beautiful magnolia trees you will ever see. Over the years, its branches have grown to form a beautiful full canopy that cascades down to the ground. Local historians believe it was planted around 1908. It blooms between February and June and has been the site of many proposals and marriages.(Submitted on May 14, 2022, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
