$2,450.00

Quantity:

Magnolia grandiflora 'Exmouth' is an elegant evergreen magnolia admired for its dense, glossy foliage with rich copper undersides and large, fragrant creamy-white flowers that bloom from late spring through summer. Its upright, conical shape adds striking year-round structure and contrast, making it perfect for formal gardens, avenues, screens, and large containers.

Thriving in full sun to partial shade and preferring moist, well-drained slightly acidic soil, it is drought-tolerant once established and withstands light frost and heat. Maintenance includes light pruning in late winter or early spring, regular watering during establishment, and annual fertilizing.

Ideal as a feature or privacy tree, for pleaching or espalier, and pairs beautifully with Camellias and Hydrangeas in classic garden designs.

How to Plant Magnolia Exmouth

Planting Tips: Ensuring a Strong Start

Choose the Right Spot: Select a location with full sun to partial shade. Ensure the area has well-draining soil and enough space for the Magnolia 'Exmouth' to grow to its full height and width.
Prepare the Soil: Dig a hole twice as wide and slightly deeper than the root ball. Improve heavy or poor soils with organic matter like compost to enhance drainage and fertility.
Position the Tree: Place the tree in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with or slightly above ground level. Avoid planting too deeply, as this can lead to root rot.
Backfill Carefully: Refill the hole with a mix of soil and compost, gently firming it as you go to eliminate air pockets.
Water Thoroughly: Once planted, water deeply to settle the soil around the roots. Keep the soil consistently moist (not waterlogged) during the establishment phase.
Mulch for Success: Apply a layer of organic mulch (such as bark or wood chips) around the base of the tree to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Keep mulch a few centimeters away from the trunk to prevent rot.
Staking (if needed): Stake the tree only if it's in a windy area or the trunk is unstable. Use soft ties to avoid damaging the bark.

Following these steps will ensure your Magnolia 'Exmouth' establishes strong roots and thrives in your garden for years to come.
