I live north of Houston, and have three evergreen Magnolia trees that I have not seen flower in the 2 springs I have been here. I am not alone, as many people in my neighborhood have these trees, and they have not flowered, but a few nice looking trees in some yards I have seen beautiful white flowers on them. What is their secret?
How can I get my magnolia tree to flower?
it could be were there planted I'm in the UK and don't know your climate do you feed them water them when there dry your best set is to go ask someone in a local garden nursery they will be able to tell you whats needed for your plants in your area Hope that helps its what i do in the UK when I'm stuck

How do you get Magnolia tree to put on new growth?
I have a very large Magnolia tree that someone cut all the lower limbs off of. What can I do to start new growth in the lower portion of the tree?
How do you get Magnolia tree to put on new growth?
why do you want limbs in lower part, easier to mow around it lower branches not there
Reply:if you want too get good growth, u will have too trim the top branches, but this is a tree so why have it grow like a bush, and u will not get any blooms in the summer time. i say leave it alone and trim the lower branches
Reply:Magnolia trees will not generally put out new growth from a pruned area. If you want the tree to have limbs to the ground, you'll have to let the limbs that remain to droop to the ground. You can train them by waiting until new growth has finished and trimming back the small twigs that are growing up or out.

Can I easily move a magnolia tree planted a year ago?
I planted a Royal Star Magnolia tree in my front yard but I would now like to have an evergreen there and move the magnolia somewhere else. Are they easy plants to uproot? I don't want to damage it.
Can I easily move a magnolia tree planted a year ago?
Generally the root ball is about the same size as the crown. Look at the top of the tree. If you feel able to dig out and move something that size, you're in business. Otherwise just leave the tree where it is or cut it down.
Reply:Not sure about magnolia's but just make sure that the tree can withstand the move given the temperatutre in your area. Mid october is normally not a "planting season." Good Luck. Report It

Can a magnolia tree grow in Northeast Pennsylvania?
I have a bud from a magnolia tree it has opened up to find red seed like things. I want to know if this is what I plant to have a magnolia tree. If it can grow in PA or can I grow it inside until it is ready to be planted outside. It comes from the most beautiful magnolia tree in Exmore, VA.
Can a magnolia tree grow in Northeast Pennsylvania?
Yes, some magnolia species can grow in NE Pennsylvania. Here is the problem you will have with your seeds. Virginia is one or two cold hardiness zones warmer than your area. That seed is from a tree that does not necessarily have the genetics to survive your winters, even though the species may be listed as hardy in your zone. The best I can tell you is to try it, but you could lose the tree in a cold winter.
Though most varieties of Magnolia can be propagated by seed, they will produce trees that are slow to flower and differ from the source tree. Yes, those are the seeds you see inside the buds.
Magnolia seeds have a fleshy outer pulp and a hard inner seed shell. You should remove this outer pulp first for best germination rates. Soak the seeds in water for a couple of days, changing the water every day. Remove any pulp and dry with a tissue. Plant immediately indoors or store in the refrigerator in a zip-lock bag with moist sand/vermiculite and sow in spring. Remember to not plant too deep. Sow seeds no more than two times their diameter deep in your soil.

Reply:It's certainly worth a shot. Good luck.
But generally the magnolias that survive in the cold north - I assume you have snow - are a hardier variety than southern magnolias.
Reply:I live in Canada in zone 4 and have a beautiful Star Magnolia.
I would suggest that you plant it outside soon so that it can put down roots for the winter and Spring. They prefer sheltered locations from strong winter winds, but like to be in a sunny area. Be sure to stake it well. Ours didn't bloom for the first year, but it does now. Yours may, as we planted ours in early Spring.
Reply:Hi:
Magnolia trees can survive in Nothern Pennsylvania. Not all of them but the Star Magolia is one that will do well in your zone. If you think you have the actual seeds, it is possible to plant the seeds. There are some proper steps to properly grow from seed. Take a look at this page on my website on growing from seed. I am not 100% on the type of Magnolia you have so what I would do is bring it to a local nursery and see if they can identify it before you try and germinate your seeds.
Good luck to you and if you need any other help, please feel free to contact me. Also take a look at my site map for any other suggestions or solutions for you.
Hope the seeds take off for you.
