Designed for gardeners looking to create a striking seasonal centerpiece, the Magnolia soulangeana offers fragrant, goblet-shaped blooms that emerge in early spring before the foliage appears. This extra-large 4-5ft specimen is perfect for both amateur and experienced landscapers aiming for immediate visual impact; however, it requires a sheltered position to protect its delicate early-season flowers from harsh winds and late frosts.

While supplied at 4-5ft, this tree can eventually reach heights of 6-8 meters over many years depending on its environment.
No, it requires very little maintenance. Simply remove any damaged or crossing branches after flowering.
While it starts in a 3-litre pot, it is a tree and will perform best when planted directly into the ground to allow its root system to expand.
Spring or autumn are the best times to plant, as the soil is warm and moist, allowing the roots to establish before temperature extremes.
It prefers fertile, moist, but well-drained soil. It thrives best in slightly acidic to neutral soil conditions.
This is often caused by late spring frost; unfortunately, little can be done once it occurs, but ensure the plant is in a sheltered spot for future seasons.
This often indicates poor drainage or the soil being too alkaline; check that the soil is moist but not waterlogged and consider using an ericaceous compost.
To ensure your Magnolia thrives, plant it in a sunny or partially shaded spot that remains sheltered from strong, drying winds. The soil should be fertile, moist, and well-drained.
For ongoing care, water the tree regularly throughout the first growing season to ensure root establishment. Apply a layer of mulch around the base to help retain soil moisture. Pruning is rarely necessary, but if you must remove damaged or crossing branches, do so only after the flowering period has finished.
