    • Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and as deep.
    • Position the tree in the hole, fill with soil, and water thoroughly.
    • Mulch around the base to help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.

    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

    Caring for Magnolia grandiflora 'Teddy Bear':

    • Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially in hot weather.
    • Fertilize in the spring with a slow-release, balanced fertilizer to encourage healthy growth and flowering.
    • Prune as needed after flowering to maintain its shape and promote a more dense growth.
