How To Grow Magnolia grandiflora 'Kay Parris' In Different Soil Types

Planting Your Magnolia grandiflora 'Kay Parris': Ensuring A Strong Start

How to Plant:

Select an Ideal Location: Choose a well-drained site with access to full sun or partial shade.
Prepare the Soil: Ensure the soil is rich in organic matter and well-draining.
Dig a Hole: Dig a hole as deep as the root ball and twice as wide.
Position the Tree: Place the tree in the center of the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the ground.
Backfill: Fill the hole with soil, gently compacting it around the root ball.
Water Thoroughly: After planting, water the tree thoroughly to settle the soil.

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 'Kay Parris' 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.
