Magnolia Shortages
Without fail we sell out of Magnolia trees every year. So if you see a "delayed delivery" message in red in the product title then we are technically sold out. However, you can buy and reserve now for delivery in August which means you will receive pick of the crop from our Magnolia trees as the best trees are sent out first. It is a myth that Spring is the only time to plant trees, as ours are containerised so you can plant all year round.
For some unknown reason there has been a spike in Magnolia interest and it takes 2 years for us to grow the trees so there will be no immediate solution.
A deciduous tree that will live for 60 years or more with a mature height of 10-15m. This can be restricted by planting in a container or pruning. Asking it not to grow is not as effective as the former options mentioned.
Producing a stunning purple / pink to red tulip shaped flower (15-25cm across) with a light fragrance, making their show business like appearance in late spring.
This tree is supplied at 2 years old or more and a height of 1.25 to 2 metres in a 12-litre container for year round planting. A better option than bare-root stock if you have fingers that are more prone to gardening genocide than the colour green.
As with many other trees, it will grow in most conditions but if you want the very best from it then talk to it nicely, plant in moist but well drained fertile soil in a sheltered or partially shaded position. Your average garden fits this description as surrounding neighbours provide the shelter. Acidic to neutral soil is preferred for this Magnolia Galaxy and very wet conditions will greatly upset it. You will certainly be crossed off the Christmas card list if wet to too much and long. The tree will either die or up roots and go.
Requires minimal pruning for shape and health. Best done in late winter or summer.
Message card included at no additional cost if required. Just add the information required on the card at checkout.
General Magnolia Information
Magnolias are generally a low maintenance tree that can tolerate a small amount of drought but not wet for too long so make sure the soil has good drainage. Does not require a great deal of pruning but removing dead, diseased and crossed over branches is a good idea. Pick a good spot and do not move them as they may rebel against it by hiding the remote control or not being as vigorous as before. In summary they don't like to be moved/transplanted.
I know we mentioned this several times already but we are very aware that our sales technique is that good that customers are convinced to buy before finishing reading our blurb and do not miss the blatantly obvious and then complain their Magnolia died when they planted it in the swimming pool.
All ornamental trees (not vines) are topped at 1.3 metres to encourage a natural ornamental tree shape with obvious exceptions e.g. patio sizes.This means that your tree was pruned during the growing process and then allowed to grow to the size it is now supplied at.
