Recently bought a house in Rockville, MD. We have a nice big magnolia tree in the front yard. Recently, its been shedding a lot of leaves. The leave are turning yellow and dropping off. Any thoughts to what this might be. Should I call a professional?
Magnolia Tree - Rockville, MD?
Are there spots on the leaves or are they just turning yellow? If there are spots it's most likely a fungal disease and you can call a tree doctor if you want. Or if you can spray it yourself get Daconil and spray it as directed.
If it's just turning yellow and there are no spots it is probably from an environmental stress and they are sissy plants--they get stressed easily. In this case there is nothing to do but let it go. Usually there is enough stored food in the roots to cause secondary buds to develop and rebud a 2nd time. If it does rebud you can give it a root feeding at that time. Your favorite L%26amp;G Center should have the Daconil or the fertilizer.
Reply:I live in KY and have a huge tree. They do this constantly and it seems you have to rake everyday. Thats the problem with these trees. They're beautiful when they bloom though. I'd like to cut mine down cause i'm tired or raking. There are magnolia trees all around this area and they all do it.
