But anyway, I don't think magnolias blossom before they leaf like fruit
trees do. Isn't a magnolia a later flowerer?

Depends on species. M soulangiana, M stellata are both in flower at the
moment (my stellata is just going over), M grandiflora is later.

M. wiesnerei doesn't flower until around June. M. delavayi goes from mid
summer to autumn.

At Castle Howard the woods are full of flowering magnolias at the
moment.
