Hi:
Cutting a branch off a Magnolia tree won't work to plant some where else. The root system of a Magnolia is wide and once the Magnolia is established, you can damage the tree by pruning it. Magnolias are a plant specimen that only should be pruned when they are younger and done in the summer, after bloom time.
Seeds are very slow to germinate and you can take a young Magnolia can be propaged in summer after the bud forms. You can propagate by taking three to four inch green cuttings. The shoots should be put in a sand base light weight soil and you should mist oftern.
You can also do graphing on an establish strong Magnolia. I am a landscaper and design and I usually don't recommend doing anything to your established Magnolia unless you have the right environment to propagate or graph.
I hope this has helped some. The Magnolia is one of my favorite trees here in the south. If you have a healthy one, enjoy and don't prune it if it is well established.
I will link you to the site map of my website. This page has everything that is on my website. Browse through as there are many tips, techniques and articles that may give you some information. Good luck to you and have a great day!

Can anyone tell me if they have an evergreen magnolia that grows well in St. Louis? Im looking for a broadleaf evergreen tree that will work well as a small-medium sized specemin plant. I would love a magnolia, but am open to other options.

Hey Not Bilingual,
Your growing hardiness zone is 6a in St. Louis. So, the first site gives a Magnolia that will live in zone 6. Also, there are more found. See the sites below.

Magnolia walls or white walls?
The ceiling and skirting will be white.
Magnolia walls or white walls?
Magnolia.
You will find a white ceiling may now look as white as it should be when you paint the ways white so the cailing will need another.
A white ceiling that can look great against a magnolia wall but not as good against white walls.
Reply:Magnolia.....
Reply:all one colour may be too much in a large room you may be better off with a pale blue green or maybe lemon
Reply:Magnolia, it'll soften the look slightly. All white can be a little harsh.
Reply:Magnolia, white is so sterile! it would be like being in hospital!!!
Reply:For what room?
I like white bedrooms, but magnolia living areas
Reply:Magnolia, white would be too much.
Reply:i would go for magnolia
Reply:Here is my suggestion; Magnolia or maybe Navajo white looks great on walls in a satin finish with semi gloss white trim, baseboards and doors. Paint the ceiling with a plain white ceiling paint.
Reply:There are so many shades of emulsion that resemble magnolia, that it can get confusing. We chose Antique Lace, which is warmer than magnolia, but looks great with white ceilings, skirting's and doors.
White Walls and ceilings can look clinical, but produce bright reflected light, which is great for pictures and ornaments.
There used to be ranges of paint called 'a whiter shade', which were very pale choices of different pastel colours, and these look nice. The main thing to avoid is to start painting different colours on different walls in the same room. It will make things look confusing and smaller!
Reply:white.do everything white makes the room nice and bright
Reply:Magnolia. The contrast would be subtle and beautiful. Nice choice.
Reply:if its all white wont it look too clinical id opt for good old magnolia and you cant go wrong

When and how do I take Magnolia cuttings?
Have tried several differnet methods, but nothing seems to happen
When and how do I take Magnolia cuttings?
have you tried airlayering .august cut a shoot half way through and sprinkle with rooting powder.
push moist spagnum moss into slit .
wrap with clear plastic bag eg polythene bag tie around wound and wait . in afew weeks you will see roots .if nothing happens take off bags you cannot damage tree
the other way is to find a branch close to ground cut half way through near leaf joint and bury the branch into the ground this can be done late spring after flowering up until late summer
good luck
Reply:I haven't personally rooted Magnolia cuttings but I have been reading about it.

What is the difference between a tulip tree and a magnolia tree?
The lady at the garden center of Lowe's said a tulip tree is actually a variety of magnolia.
What is the difference between a tulip tree and a magnolia tree?
The Tulip tree belongs to Magnoliaceae family and is known as The King of the Magnolias..... The only difference between a magnolia and a tulip tree is a tulip is deciduous..meaning it loses its leaves in winter. and the color of its flowers, which are green and orange. A magnolia is evergreen...at least the one most people think of when they think magnolia...large, fragrant white blooms with a glossy, deep green leaf.

What/when do I feed a young saucer magnolia tree?
Spring. As soon as the buds start to swell. Apply the fertilizer about the same distance from the trunk as the branches spread. Work into the soil if possible and water slow and deep to avoid washing it away. A very young tree 1/2 pound ( maybe a cup ) every month until early summer. A general purpose fertilizer is fine. Something like 5-10-10 or even 10-20-10. Use less of the more concentrated. The higher Phoshoorous ( middle number ) promotes flowers. Avoid feeding in the fall. If you stimulate growth too late it is more easily damaged by frost.

Planting seeds of a magnolia how to?
I have some seeds from my magnolia I would like to grow
Planting seeds of a magnolia how to?
I'm a horticulturlist. Good answer below. When you see the seeds poking out of the seed head, pick the 'cone' and set it up off the ground. The seeds will fall out of it. Next, after you gather all of your seeds, put them in a metal strainer under running water. Grind the seeds around until you get off the red coat. Plant immediately!! Water lightly daily, then increase as the plants grow. You may choose to put them all in one large container, but I recommend putting a few seeds in smaller pots. Hope this helps!
Reply:The first thing you will have to do is soak them in water for a day or so, and then remove that red coating from it. The red coating inhibits growth, so you have to remove that before it will grow.
Now roll the seeds up in some paper towels, and wet the paper towels. The seeds should germinate in a few days, then plant them in small pots with some light potting soil.
Once germinated, keep them good and moist, and give them lots of light.
Good luck.
