Spring and fall are the best times for planting magnolias. If you live in an area with mild summers or winters you can plant at these times as well.
Magnolia trees prefer full sun, but can grow well in part sun locations.
Magnolias are very adaptable; they can tolerate soil from clay to sand to loam, but be sure it is moist and drains well.
When your tree is newly planted, water deeply 3 times per week. Water 1-2 times per week for the next couple months. After establishment your Magnolia will be drought tolerant and only need watering once weekly in summer.
Mulching is a good option especially with a newly planted Magnolia. 2 inches of mulch will keep your soil moist and the roots protected. It also keeps weeds and grasses that steal moisture and nutrients at bay.
Fertilize with a balanced slow release fertilizer in spring for best results.
If pruning is necessary, prune right after flowering has stopped to best avoid trimming off next year's flowers.
