Magnolia tree losing leaves?

I have about a 40 foot magnolia tree in my yard, I don't know the specific variety. It's currently blooming, but losing a lot of leaves. (I'm raking up a trash bag full every week.) I live in South Mississippi, so climate shouldn't be an issue (they're native here.) It's getting plenty of water, and I have some fertilizer spikes I just put in along the dripline. I'm a notorious plant killer, so it's making me nervous. :)





Is it normal for a blooming tree to lose leaves in early summer? Or should I be worried about the number of woodpeckers that come to my bird feeder?

Magnolia tree losing leaves?
A serious question, I'm sure, but the answer has to be a resounding "NO" if you are asking about the Magnolia Grandiflora. Just about its only negative characteristic is the fact that the leaves seem to fall all year long and blow all over the lawn. In truth, they fall more at certain times of the year, one of which is the time when it is blooming. Most men who usually do most of the mowing of lawns hate the magnolias; I think one of the reasons the Grandiflora leaves are so bothersome is that they are thick, tough, large and slow to decompose. When you rake them, they take up lots of space in a bag or trash can.





The leaves fall off along the branches as the new growth comes on. Looking underneath, or inside a magnolia tree, you see lots of branches that are bare except for at the ends. Its just the natural process of the tree's growth. So, if your tree is losing a tremendous amount of leaves, especially in the spring, that is normal. They have to fall off to make room for new leaves.





Also, an unusually dry season will will cause the tree to lose leaves; even cause them to drop a year after the dry year because the tree was damaged from drought.





SO, DON"T WORRY ABOUT UR GRANDIFLORA..... IT"S PERFECTLY FINE.
Reply:I'm having the same problem. Mine seems to be coming back / putting on a lot of new growth, but I'm still pretty concerned. Hope you get a good answer. I starred the question so i can keep checking.

If you're meaning the chinese mongolia? The tree is unsafe for birds but I have no idea about the fruit. I have never seen the fruit on any parrot safe lists.


Have you ever been to magnolia home theater?

i went there today to check out some speakers and i noticed that the bose speakers were noware near anyother speaker. I asked the salesman why and he said that bose paid extra money for that spot away from the other speakers. is this the same at your magnolia home theater

Bose is really not in the same league of the brands they sell at Magnolia section of Best Buy. Def Tech, Vienna Acoutics, Klipsch are upper mid-line in regard to quality speakers and much better products. You can buy these speakers for often a few hundred dollars more and have a far better performing audio experience.



Bose is really marketing genius in some regards. But when it really comes down to real sound, most audiophiles seldom consider there products.
Reply:Bose speakers are horrible for the money. You can spend 1/4 of the cost and get much better sound. Yes Bose pays extra for their demo's to be put by themselves. They want us employees to really focus on their product. The problem is anyone that honestly loves why they do won't sell you Bose. No highs, no lows it must be bose... Martin Logan's blow away Bose, and so does the rest of our Magnolia products. Dr. Bose charges a lot of money for his products so he can save money and donate it to MIT and get a building named after him... They are the biggest rip off company ever. Marketing genius I have to give them that but they are just taking advantage of the public at this point.
Reply:Bose knows if it mixes with ANY other brand of speaker for a FAIR comparison of sound quality, the Bose would ALWAYS loose...That's why they PAY to be separate...Bose is the one of the BIGGEST lies in the Home Theater industry.

  • Has anyone used Firedog(Circuit City) or Magnolia (Best Buy) to install a home theater system?

    Could you please provide feedback as to the level of service you received using either of the two.

    What type of home theater are you looking to install, a dedicated home theater or just hanging a plasma on the wall. These two stores really don't have people that are very experienced in this field. These services just run wires and plug in your system, an easy job to do if you read the manual. Let us know what you are lookin to do or email me and I am sure we can walk you through it. Saving you money and patience.
    Reply:Don't use either of them, they are a sorry excuse for installers. Don't go to a frigging electrical contractor or builder either. Go to CEDIA website and they can refer a contractor in your area that will fix you up.





    P.S. If you don't know what you are doing then don't do it yourself. It will only cost you more in the end.
    Reply:Not advisable the techs are under qualified, you may get lucky. But I advise using a home builder or electrical company that has a specialized division. You may spend more but the specialized electricians they have will be a great asset and the install will be the best possible. The premium price that BB and CC charge is not worth what you get.
    Reply:In my opinion both of these stores are overpriced and overrated. Heck, I think BB charges a couple hundred bucks just to program your remote.





    I personally would look at installing it yourself, or maybe find a buddy who can help. The hardest part is installing the wiring, but other than that it's not all that difficult.

    Little gem Magnolia dying after planting, transplant shock or what?>?

    I just planted five little gem magnolias around my yard about 2 weeks ago. Now they are all brown with very few green leaves left. I mixed the soil with peat and manure and also planttone and have been keeping it on a regular watering schedule. Also, I have planted several other plants including rhods and azaleas and they are doing fine. Now, the reason I think it is transplant shock is when I planted them I only had time to do three first then I waited a couple days to do the other two. When I planted the other two I noticed the ones in the containers looked beautiful but the ones in the ground were starting to wilt. What should I do!? These are mature plants the came from 15 gallon containers.

    did you plant too deep?





    you should be able to see the trunk getting slightly wider at the bottom before it reaches the soil if it is the same width at soil level and a foot or so above it has been planted too deeply. remove this soil.








    If that's not the problem then water them really deeply (don't fertilize)and hope for the best, wilting is not dying, but once trees reach the death spiral they don't recover.
    Reply:You shouldn't plant trees in the summer. The best time to plant is fall or winter. I tried the same thing once and had the exact same problem. Some plants are more susceptible to this than others. Wish I could help you figure out what to do. Call the nursery you bought them from and ask for advice. If they sold you the trees, the least they could do is help you salvage them.


    What do you think of Magnolia beverage masters 1st game last night?

    i think its very interesting dominating and shows a lot of attitude on how deep this team could be

    superb! team to beat!
    Reply:Pare it's not at all convincing. Look at how Arwind Santos dominated Seigle, Eman and Villanueva in the first half. If Air 21 had that kind of depth they would have run through this team from start to finish. It's not the kind of thing (slow start) you expect from one of the best teams. What if they do that to let's say Talk n' Text of Ginebra? They would have lost the game. They should have come out with more intensity at the start of the game.
    Reply:it was a amazing!
    Reply:boring! the pba is san miguel's league. therefore, they should win all the games. the pba is no longer fun to watch, they always favor san miguel corp teams.
