How to care for your Magnolia Elizabeth

  • Watering: Prefers moist soil but can’t tolerate standing water. Water the tree regularly during the growing season, particularly in dry weather. Avoid overwatering as this can lead to root rot.
  • Soil: This tree can grow in a wide range of soils, but it prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Amend heavy soils with organic matter, such as compost or peat moss, to improve drainage.
  • Fertilisation: Benefits from periodic fertilisation. Apply a balanced fertiliser in early Spring, just before the tree begins to bloom, and then again in early Summer. Avoid over-fertilising, which can cause excess growth and weaken the tree.
  • Pruning: Rarely requires pruning, but you can shape it or remove dead or damaged branches as needed. Prune after the tree has finished flowering to avoid cutting off next year’s blooms.
  • Mulching: Mulch around the base of the tree to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as wood chips or shredded bark, being careful not to pile it up against the trunk.

By following these care tips, you can help your Magnolia Elizabeth grow and thrive, and enjoy its stunning blooms and delightful fragrance for years to come.
