Planting & Care
1. Planting: Choose a location away from cement sidewalks or driveways. If possible, pick a spot on the Northside of your yard with a safe distance from the house. This will enable the maximum exposure to the sun, resulting in more blossoms.
Choose a site that is rich in organic matter and drains well. If desired, you can add compost into the planting hole and mix with soil. The hole should be dug slightly larger than the root system of the plant, 2 to 3 times the width and just as deep as the root ball. Position the tree in the ground and mix the soil with the compost. Hold the tree straight as you begin to back fill the hole, tamping down as you go to prevent air pockets from forming and then water to settle the soil. Apply some mulch after planting to moderate soil temperatures and moisture conditions.
2. Watering: Water the Sweetbay frequently during the root system’s early development, then periodically as necessary (in the first couple of growing seasons, water twice weekly or check the surrounding soil for dryness). Water just beyond the branch line to reach the full extent of the roots.
3. Fertilizing: You can feed your tree if new growth is noticeably slow. Use a controlled-release fertilizer formula, and be sure to follow the application instructions on the bottle for optimum effectiveness.
4. Pruning: Prune your Magnolia at the first sign of any dead leaves, branches or flowers. When pruning, remove the branch down to its base. Prune your tree to maintain the required shape as well as to keep the rapid growth of branches under control. Prune the lower branches as necessary as the tree grows.

United StatesGreat shipping of the tree. It arrived looking healthy and cared for. It was more of a stalk with a few leaves on it, rather than a "tree". I was a bit surprised, but not unhappy. Already, the tree is starting to bud and I know it will be a beautiful addition to our front landscaped yard. I bought the tree because as a child, my wife's grandmother had one in her front yard. My wife always spoke about the memories under that magnolia and how she missed her grandmother. When my wife turned 40, I bought this tree from you. I'm excited to have it grow healthy, strong and provide the same memories for her and our children. Thank you!
United StatesTree arrived very healthy; after just a couple of weeks, it is producing new buds and, I hope soon, flowers. Very pleased.
United StatesThe tree was well packaged and in excellent condition when it arrived. I was able to plant it and start it on it's way within hours of delivery. This is a great benefit when living in an area where selection at local nurseries is limited because of our relatively remote location. I'd grown a Sweet Bay Magnolia in a previous home (farther North) so was comfortable with it in this zone. It has been planted two weeks and seems quite happy in its new space.
United StatesExcellent! Arrived healthy, and undamaged. No doubt due to your company's thoughtful packaging. Thank you.
United StatesThree or four branches were broken. It is in the ground now and I expect it to do well this spring and summer.
