Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Remove the stake and ties at planting, as these are only for shipping. Choose a location that receives full sun to partial shade and has well-draining soil. Dig a hole that is twice the width and the same depth as the root ball. Place the tree in the center of the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Backfill with soil and water thoroughly to remove any air pockets.
2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish the root system. Once established, this tree is moderately drought-tolerant, but it thrives with consistent moisture, especially during hot, dry spells. Always check the top inch of soil; if it's dry, it's time to water.
3. Pruning: Prune the Magnolia Hybrid Sunsation Tree in late winter to early spring, before new growth begins. Remove any dead or damaged branches and shape the tree as desired to promote an attractive form. Avoid heavy pruning, as this can reduce flowering.
4. Fertilizing: Feed your tree with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth begins. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for application rates based on the age and size of your tree.
