Soak the roots in water for a few hours before planting. Dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots without bending them. Position the tree so the root crown is level with the soil surface, backfill with native soil, and water thoroughly to settle the soil. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the trunk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater deeply once a week during the first growing season to encourage deep root growth. Once established, Southern Magnolias are moderately drought tolerant but perform best with consistent moisture. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape, if desired. These trees are generally pest and disease resistant when grown in suitable conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou will receive 3 Southern Magnolia bare root trees, each measuring 12-24 inches in height.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67739750662454,"sku":"EDNA-172","price":104.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.8125673625_1sy3.jpg?v=1792115032","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/3-southern-magnolia-trees-12-24-bare-root-fragrant-evergreen-flowering-plants","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
