Planting & Care

Plant your bare root Southern Magnolia in a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Soak the roots briefly before planting, then dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots comfortably. Position the tree at the same depth it grew previously, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly to settle the soil and remove air pockets.

Keep the soil consistently moist during the first growing season to support establishment. Apply a layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the trunk, to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperature. Once established, the Southern Magnolia is relatively low-maintenance and can tolerate occasional dry periods.
