I saw this tree at my husband’s work on Saturday. I have never seen anything like it and Google is no help. Can anyone tell me what it is?
the red/pink things are really hard and have no scent.

    Magnolia, perhaps M.Soulangeana
    The red bits are seed pods, not flowers

    Thank you. So if he pulled one of the seed pods off I could plant one in my garden?

    once they're ripe, they split open, but take many , many years to get to flowering size.
    I think most are grafted, but I might be wrong
