Product Information

Full details

The Magnolia Grandiflora is an ideal choice for gardeners seeking a sophisticated, evergreen focal point that combines lush foliage with iconic, fragrant spring blooms. Perfectly suited for both traditional landscapes and container gardening on patios, this tree remains manageable and shapely as it matures; however, prospective growers should note that while it thrives in various settings, it requires consistent care and protection from harsh, drying winds to maintain its glossy appearance.

FAQs

How tall will my Magnolia be when it arrives?

You will receive a healthy plant that is approximately 6ft tall.

Can I keep this tree in the 7.5 litre pot forever?

While it can stay in the pot for a while, it will eventually benefit from being moved to a larger container or planted in the ground to support continued growth.

Does it need full sun?

It performs best in full sun to partial shade, provided it is protected from harsh, drying winds.

When is the best time to prune?

The ideal time to prune is immediately after the flowering season has finished.

Is the fragrance strong?

Yes, the creamy white flowers are known for being highly fragrant, especially in the spring.

Troubleshooting

Leaf edges turning brown or crispy

This is often a sign of wind burn or underwatering. Move the plant to a more sheltered location and ensure the soil moisture levels are consistent.

Lack of flowers in spring

Ensure the plant is receiving at least 6 hours of sunlight and that it was not pruned too late in the previous season, which may have removed developing buds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When you receive your 7.5-litre pot Magnolia, ensure it is acclimated to its new environment gradually if moving from a nursery setup to full sun.

Soil: Use a rich, slightly acidic to neutral, well-draining potting mix.
Watering: During the first year, keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Container-grown trees will need more frequent irrigation than those in the ground.
Placement: Choose a site protected from strong, cold winds which can damage the leaves.
Pruning: Trim lightly after the flowering period if you need to restrict the height or shape, though the tree naturally stays compact.
Feeding: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support the flowering cycle.
