How to Care for Magnolia Trees

Magnolia tree care is minimal once your tree is established. These trees perform best in full sun and well-drained soil. Newly planted trees should be kept moist with deep waterings 2 to 3 times per week. Once established Magnolias are drought tolerant. Fertilize with a balanced slow release fertilizer in early spring. Magnolias do not require pruning.

How to Plant a Magnolia Tree

Dig a hole about twice the width of the root ball and not quite as deep as it is tall. Place your tree level in the hole. Make sure the top of the root ball is slightly higher than the existing soil line and backfill with soil. Water deeply until the ground is fully saturated. Apply 1 to 2 inches of mulch to help retain soil moisture, protect the roots, and reduce weeds. Extend the mulch mound a couple inches beyond the tree’s canopy.

When to Prune Magnolia Trees

Pruning Magnolia trees isn’t necessary in most cases. If you need to prune off a dead or broken branch do this any time of year. Any other pruning should be reserved for right after your tree has stopped flowering to avoid removing flower buds that will produce the next round of blooms.
