Planting Your Magnolia grandiflora 'Coolwyn Gloss': Ensuring A Strong Start

Selecting the Location: Choose a well-draining site with full to partial sun exposure for planting your Southern Magnolia. Ensure it has sufficient space to accommodate its mature size.

Digging the Hole: Dig a hole that is roughly twice the width of the tree's root ball and of equal depth. This extra space will allow the roots to expand easily.

Positioning the Tree: Gently remove the tree from its container and place it in the center of the hole. Ensure the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding ground.

Backfilling: Fill the hole with the excavated soil, pressing it down firmly to eliminate air pockets. Water the tree thoroughly to help settle the soil.

Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the tree to conserve moisture and regulate soil temperature.

Watering Requirements After Planting

When you plant a new tree, it's crucial to give it the right start by ensuring it receives sufficient water. Here’s a general guideline for watering your newly planted tree:

  • Immediately After Planting: Water your tree generously right after planting your Magnolia grandiflora 'Coolwyn Gloss' to settle the soil around the roots and eliminate any air pockets.
  • First Three Months: The initial three months are critical for the establishment of the tree. During this period, the tree should be hand watered twice daily, in the morning and evening. This helps the roots grow deep and strong.
  • Irrigation System: If you have an irrigation system, adjust it to ensure the tree gets adequate water during these first months.
  • Adjusting to Weather Conditions: Always consider the weather conditions and adjust your watering accordingly. In hotter and drier periods, additional watering may be necessary.

Consistent attention to your tree’s watering needs during this initial period will help ensure its healthy growth and long-term success in your garden.
