Not fruit related, but what type of tree is this?

I saw this tree at a house today. It looked like a magnolia tree.  But it has these pods.

Yup. Looks like my magnolia tree. I can see the buds forming also.  The alien looking pods intrigues me.

Looks like it might be a Columbus Magnolia.

I just did some googling. I guess all magnolia trees have these kind of pods.  I guess they are just seed pods, and later on my Alexander Magnolia tree will have these seed pods also. Learn something new everyday.
