Planting Tips

Plant Spacing

Feature Planting: Space 6 – 9 m apart for natural form and flower impact

Hedging & Screening: Space 3 – 4 m apart for dense year-round screening

Avenue Planting: Space 5 – 6 m apart for structured planting lines

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.

Root Ball Dimensions (Width × Depth) for Planting

Use this as a reference when digging your planting hole. We recommend digging at least 10% wider than the dimensions below to encourage strong root development.

Post Planting Care

When planting a new tree or shrub, proper watering is essential to ensure healthy establishment and long-term growth. Follow these guidelines to give your plant the best start:

  1. Immediately After Planting:
    Water generously right after planting to settle the soil around the roots and eliminate air pockets. This helps the roots make good contact with the soil.
  2. First Three Months (Establishment Phase):
    The initial three months are critical for root development. Water deeply twice daily (morning and evening) to encourage strong, deep root growth.
  3. Irrigation Systems:
    If using an irrigation system, adjust it to provide adequate water during the establishment phase. Ensure the water reaches the root zone without overwatering.
  4. Weather Considerations:
    Adjust watering based on weather conditions. Increase frequency during hot, dry periods and reduce it during cooler, wetter seasons.
  5. Ongoing Care:
    After the establishment phase (3 months), gradually reduce watering frequency but ensure the plant receives consistent moisture, especially during dry spells.

Long Term & Ongoing Care

1. Watering: Once established, the Southern Magnolia is considered low maintenance. However, it requires regular watering, especially during droughts. In the first year, provide weekly watering. Afterward, water every other week unless drought conditions prevail, in which case weekly watering is recommended.

2. Pruning: Pruning is generally needed for shaping the tree or removing dead branches. However, the Southern Magnolia exhibits a natural tendency for self-pruning.

3. Soil Type: This tree is adaptable to various soil types but thrives best in well-draining, acidic soils. You can test your soil's acidity with an at-home soil test kit or seek advice from a local nursery or gardening center.
