Are the Magnolia Trees, dropping so many leaves allthe time?
A magnolia is an evergreen or non-deciduous tree. All plants and I mean all plants drop leaves sometime. What is probably happening with your tree is that magnolias drop leaves in the spring early summer. The reason being is that as the tree grows the interior leaves on the tree or limb get shaded out. Once this happens it does not live (the leaf) because of the lack of light which is essentail,dies. Look out in your yard and you will see very tall trees with no lower limbs. Why? As the tree grows the lower limbs can not keep up. As less and less sunlight makes contact the limb eventually dies and drops off. What you are experiencing with your magmolia trees is normal. However, there will be seasons where the trees grow more or less due to enviromental factors(rain, temperature,etc.) which may lead to more leaf droppage or less.
Reply:Yes.. unfortunately they drop leaves all the tme.. THIS problem, however, is offset by the beauty of the tree
Reply:There are many reasons for dropping leaves. Have an arborist come by and look at them. Bartlett Tree Experts (a national company) will take soil samples and be able to determine if the leaves dropping is normal for this species or if it is under stress and how to save it. Sometimes it may need more water (did you have a drought last summer) or more fertilization down at the roots. Could have a pest problem too. There is no charge for the consultation at Bartlett.
