Care Guide

Good pest and disease resistance

Magnolias can suffer from Coral spot, grey mould and honey fungus. To prevent fungal disease, prune to allow plenty of air to circulate through the branches and allow plenty of space around the tree. MORE

Keep well watered

Water in thoroughly when planting. For bare root trees, you won't need to water regularly, only in dry spells when needed. You should be able to tell because the leaves will start to wilt and droop. If a container grown tree, it will need more watering until its roots are established. It should be watered every other day or so for the first few months. Then reduce to twice a week until autumn. In the second year it should have an established enough root system to support itself, just water when required as explained above for bare roots. When watering a tree it is important to give a good soaking. It is better to water heavily and less frequently than little and often as this encourages the roots to grow down into the ground.MORE

Full sun to partial shade

This tree loves full sun or partial shade in a sheltered location. Choosing a spot away from strong winds will allow all the tree's resources to go towards growing blossom and protecting its display.MORE

Moist, well-drained soil

Prefers well-draining clay, loam, acid or neutral soils.MORE

Feed in autumn

Magnolia trees need lots of mulch - ideally every autumn they should get a good helping of compost, leaf mould or well-rotted manure. MORE

Prune in summer

Prune in midsummer when the tree is in full leaf.MORE
