Care Information

General Care

Watering: Water every 4-5 days depending on weather/environment. Sun:Plant your magnolia in full sun. It will also grow in partial shade as long as it gets at least four hours a day of direct, unfiltered sunlight. Pruning: Pruning should be done during the growing season, after blooming.

Planting Guidelines

Magnolias are moderately fast-growing trees. The southern magnolia grows in acidic, loamy, moist, sandy, well-drained and clay soils. Southern magnolia should be planted 2inches above surrounding soil. This will help the roots to grow downwards. If planted too deep roots will grow towards the surface, creating a tree that is less stable. It can take 4 years to develop an established root system. Water and apply 3-5 inches of mulch around base to prevent weeds. Mulch should be kept at least 1inch away from stem.

Winter Care

If not already planted into the ground, keep in a pot/container. The Magnolia can be kept indoors until ready to plant in early Spring. Keep in an area of full sun/partial shade, water as needed.

Potting & Container

Southern Magnolias can be grown in a container and transplanted into the ground in late winter/early spring. If keeping in a container, use a 3 gallon for the first 6-12 months.Increase container size as tree grows. Container-grown plants should be transplanted in spring or fall, mulched, fertilized at planting, and well-watered. Avoid fertilizing the tree during its slowest time of growth in fall and winter. Continued watering and mulching is required for successful establishment.

Gift for Colleague from our teacher organization
(PENNSYLVANIA) • September 3rd, 2024
Verified Customer
This was such an incredibly meaningful gift for a colleague and his family. They lost their infant son and the ability to plant the tree together and also read the story to the siblings made this so meaningful that the whole family cried together and were able to grieve together. He came to personally thank me (and our teacher organization) who sent the gift because it meant so much. The personalization was a really nice touch, although I think it could really be added in with the price and people who do not want it could choose to not have it, rather than paying to have it added.
Perfect for a grieving family

We sent the Magnolia tree with the Acorn book to a colleague who lost their mom. It was the perfect sentiment. Unbeknownst to us, the Magnolia tree had significance in their family. It was a journey for the tree - FL to WA, but it made it and was in good shape.
Hello Linda,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are happy to hear that this Southern Magnolia tree was able to be such a meaningful gift in a time of loss, and the fact that it has family meaning, makes it even more special. The book tells such a sweet and significant story and makes a great addition. We are excited to serve you again in the future.

Magnolia with name plate and book

We ordered this for a family member who lost their father after a long battle with cancer. The magnolia was big and arrived healthy, robust, and beautiful. I was worried it would not do well in the cold weather but they sent the perfect tree. The book was perfect for her and her young daughter to read together and the name plate makes the tree memorial perfect. It is the perfect way to provide the living a way to remember and keep their loved ones memory alive through the years.
