What type of soil and fertilizer should I use and do they like full sun? I love Magnolia's and I want them to be beautiful.
I have 2 magnolia trees ready to be planted....?
There are a lot of different Magnolias. It would have been best if you could have identified the specific Magnolia you will be planting. Most Magnolias do best in full sun, especially if you want consistent flowering. Soil types vary by Magnolia species. Southern %26amp; Saucer Magnolia like an acidic, rich, well drained soil. Star Magnolia likes a peaty, organic based soil. Sweetbay Magnolia actually likes a wet, swampy, acidic soil. It is not recommended that you fertilize a newly transplanted tree for the first year. Here is a good article on the proper way to plant a tree: http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/hometips/tr...
Reply:They will get bigger than your two story house, and destroy your lawn around them. The leaves are highly alkalotic and take forever to rot, and even if you keep them cleaned up, they drip while on the tree. You might want to reconsider.
Reply:They need ericaceous soil based or compost
