Nothing signifies spring and summer like the sweet aroma from the Southern Magnolia tree. These trees are extremely cold and heat-hardy, giving a beautiful shaded canopy as they grow, and just like other Magnolias, they are showcased by their beautiful creamy white blooms. These beautiful specimens are easily identifiable by their large glossy leaves and giant creamy, white, fragrant blooms. Growing more upright than wide makes the Southern Magnolia one that can be planted nearly everywhere with ease. This is a moderate-sized tree that works in many landscape applications and once established likes to dry out between deep waterings, making this a perfect tree for use in water-wise landscapes as well. These trees work best when planted in full sun locations giving them room to grow upwards.
Every time a plant is watered, the soil should be thoroughly saturated to a depth of at least 2 to 3 feet and at least as wide as a tree well. Very slow and deep watering is always recommended. During periods of extreme heat, we advise at least 1 additional time per week of watering for all varieties. For periods of heavy rain (1/2” or more) adjust accordingly by possibly skipping a watering session for that time.
My mother and father had a beautiful southern magnolia planted in the backyard when I was a child. My sisters and I would play under it, pick it's flowers and climb it. Im now in my 70s and moved into a smaller home. I got an ad in the mail and it reminded me of the magnolia I grew up with and thought it would be perfect for my new home. My son brought me to the nursery to see what they had and 'wow' they ad a lot in so many sizes.
