After care for your Tree.
Magnolia are low maintenance trees but there are some important points to remember:
- If planted in dry weather, trees should be watered regularly to ensure growth.
- We would also recommend watering consistently and regularly throughout the first Summer after planting.
- Ideally, trees should be staked and secured with a Timber Stake and Tree Tie Combo to give them added protection from the wind.
- We recommend you fertilise the Magnolia Tree after planting with a nitrogen rich compound such as Chicken Maure Pellets.
- Pruning can be done to maintain a shape or size on the tree but remember to prune after the tree has flowered for the season.
