Fertilizing Your Magnolia Tree
Here are 3 things you need to know about fertilizing your magnolia tree to help it grow healthy and strong 🌳
Spread wide - Magnolia tree roots grow wide as opposed to just straight down so make sure when you are fertilizing your tree, you spread the fertilizer wide across the soil at the base of the tree.
Fertilize early - we recommend fertilizing in March and then again in 6 months with a slow release fertilizer.
Remove dead leaves - this helps promote new growth in your magnolia and of course, makes it look a little prettier as well 🥰

Great video! I was concerned because my new Teddy Bear magnolias at the front dropped A LOT of leaves in early spring, but I've also noticed new growth thankfully as I as worried I'd have to pull them out. Yet my caviar ones are doing perfectly fine. Just be a southern magnolia thing. I'm in Melbourne Australia, so we do get hot summers. Usually pretty dry heat. Very helpful video👍

Hello in Australia! We're happy to hear your trees are continuing to put out new growth! Remember, magnolias love water and well draining soil so an extra drink in the summer time might help take your magnolias to the next level! If you ever have any questions, we love to answer all things magnolia and gardening!
I bought a Magnolia fairy blush tree, for 2 months ago. Its about 1 meter high and had 2 flowers and just a few branches and leafs when I got it.... But its allready getting much more new growth and I believe it will be quite nice next spring. But is it normal for new leafs to be a bit yellow or light green....? ❤

Hello ! That is so exciting to hear that your fairy magnolia is doing so well! The leaves of the fairy magnolia are generally much lighter in color compared to your typical magnolia variety. If they are getting more yellow and start to fall, try taking a good look at the tree. It could be the result of mites (which you can treat with a neem oil spray that can be found at pretty much any lows or garden store). Yellowing leaves could also be a sign that your tree needs some more nutrients. A slow release, tree and shrub fertilizer will help put nutrients back into your plant. You can look for numbers like 16-8-16 or 10-10-10 as a safe bet, but most any brand will work.

Absolutely! Magnolias can be great shade trees as well! And they are the perfect place to tie a tire swing!
Bad video! There are all kinds of slow-release fertilizer. You never say what you got or what the ratio is in it.

Hi! We're sorry we didn't add the name of the fertilizer we used. We try to stay unbiased when it comes to which fertilizer will be the best, so that's why we didn't mention the precise name. There are all kinds of slow release fertilizer like you said, but there are just as many unique places where people plant their trees and what works for folks in one location may not work in another location. We want people from all over to be able to watch our videos and learn a little something. So next time we will be more specific to try and take into account the different products and plant circumstances that are out there! Thank you for your feedback!
What slow release fertilizer did ya use?

We actually special mix our fertilizer with a few different materials. But when buying from your local garden center, we recommend a few options, Shake 'N Feed Trees and Shrubs 18-6-12; Scotts Flowering Tree Continuous Release Food 11-7-7; and Jacks Classic 20-20-20 all purpose fertilizer.
