The Magnolia Tree for the North and the South

Why Southern Magnolia Trees?

Despite its name, the Southern Magnolia isn’t just a southern tree…in fact, it can thrive up north. And it’s versatile – it’s considered an ornamental tree for its iconic blooms and a privacy tree for its large stature and evergreen leaves.

But no matter how you use it, you can count on the Southern Magnolia to last. From its thick, deep green leaves that shine year-round to its steady, strong growth, the Southern Magnolia will thrive for generations, especially since it’s native to the United States. It provides an impressive amount of rich color when many other trees go dormant, offering a sweet place of refuge for birds, squirrels, and rabbits. In fact, it produces cones and small red seeds throughout winter.

And don’t forget its iconic creamy-white flowers. Adorning the tree for months, from May to as late as early fall, the Southern Magnolia’s huge, distinctive blooms are sprawling, revealing a bright white center and a sweet, unforgettable fragrance.

Even better is the fact that all of this beauty is effortless because the Southern Magnolia is cold hardy down to 10 degrees, drought tolerant, thrives in most soil types, and withstands some flooding, making it ideal for the most problematic areas.

Hello, my tree is slowly

Hello, my tree is slowly growing. I would like to know how aften do i need to water it? The last tree I had I think I over watered it and it died.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertGreat question, Sonya! For the first year water deeply once or twice a week and always check the soil first by pushing a finger 2 to 3 inches down. If it is still moist wait before watering again. After the first year normal rainfall is usually enough. Mulching around the base will also help retain moisture. Please reach out anytime if you need any further guidance!
