There is some blower noise in the background of this video. I am definitely finding it hard in an urban space to find quiet moments. There is going to be a Plantbymail giveaway tomorrow as part of the Subscriber Sunday video. Thanks for watching

Teddy Bear worth planting .

I planted Teddy Bear and Little Gem on my property this year. I'm in 6B and so excited to see them grow.

I like seeing the plant growing in the landscape. ❤

Wowww so huge. Seen amazing.

Appreciate this video, Jim! Not to much information on how big this new variety gets, this video nailed it!

I’ve watched this multiple times. Great info and up close footage capturing all of the tree.

Thank you for sharing. 👍

We love this magnolia and we use it in our Christmas containers, but living in zone three we can’t grow it, but I can dream about it!!

I like the use of video from JC Raulston (Other than it’s my old stomping grounds and I miss being able to drop in). I think it helps a lot to see growth habit and mature sizes which can be hard to picture when looking at plants in nursery containers.

We had one in Florida. The reason the leaf drop was annoying for me was because the leaves collected rain water. And if you don’t clean them up they become a breeding ground for mosquitoes! It wasn’t a one and done leaf drop.

Teddy bears are my favorite out of the evergreen Magnolias. They’re the smallest variety and have the biggest and lightest shade of green leaves. They look great planted together and the flower I hear is dinner plate sized. They plant these a lot in Australia. Just got one this past spring at only about 2ft by 2ft grew about a foot hoping it doesn’t get to hurt by this years winter.

I don't have one but I think they are beautiful trees

Thanks for this video Jim!!

I think I have one of those Teddy Bears in my yard. It’s smaller and fuller than the others. Have about 15 total and my plan this winter is to thin them out a little. The leaves and seed pods drive me crazy. Each tree drops about 30-40 of them each year. Good video Jim.

Tyre Hester can I buy some of the seed pods from you when you thin them :) I’m trying to grow a few trees!

Would love to depend on the Teddy Bear here in central Oklahoma. Still, our extremes in cold and hot make it difficult on the Teddy Bear. Little Gem seems to take our temperature extremes much better.

I was looking for a hedge this fall. I looked into different trees including the 3 parts video you have on tree hedges. I decided to go with teddy bear. It might take some time for them to grow, but I think is gonna worth it.

How tall do they get?

I am surprised that this video is not on your "native plants" playlist

Hello! I found your video because I I was given 3 little cuttings of grandiflora or teddy bear and I hope to root them. I believe they were all considered “suckers” if that means anything. I’ve got quite a bit of stem and leaves to work with on 1 so I may even turn it into 2 cuttings. I’ve read to not keep much stem, cut 1inch vertical line, clip most leaves in half (not sure why?) and put direct in soil. Would you agree or anything you can add? Root hormone recommendation? I’ve heard the success rate for this is 50% at best, and I don’t know if I’ll ever have this chance again so I want to give it my best💛 my heart is in the southeast and this beautiful tree is a great reminder of things that feel like home to me. I hope to do it justice growing here in Phoenix AZ! Thank you so much for your time :) Krissy

Thanks for this Video Jim! what is the tree in the background @2:44 to the right of the large magnolia - large green tree with red berries ? thanks.

Can you comment on the health benefits of the southern magnolia?

What is the safest distance when planting a Teddy Bear Magnolia near a house? TIA!!

Love the Teddy Bear and Little Gem. Have one on the NE corner of the house and was looking forward to the growth...but I’m concerned long-term about roots and proximity to gas/irrigation lines. Any thoughts on what I might swap it with? Would prefer a tree...but not sure any tree wouldn’t present the same issues. May need to cluster shrubs. Zone 7b.

There are tons of little gem magnolias planted close to houses. It shouldn't be a problem.

Teddy bear and brackens brown beauty are my favorite varieties.

HortTube with Jim Putnam I’ve never heard of that one, I’ll have to look into it!

Between Teddy Bear and Little Gem; which is a freer bloomer?

Where can these be purchased? I can’t find any for sale

So I read that Little gem can take some shade but Teddys need more full sun is this true?

Do you have teddy bear magnolia tree and how much are your prices?

I tried my luck planting a teddy bear in zone 6b. It's sort of nestled in amongst other trees on my hill in the back yard. Can (should) I burlap that over the winter?

Yes, it will help, but usually all that happens is the leaves get a bit browned out from winter burn. It actually looks kind of interesting, and in the spring they just shed those leaves anyway. The real issue is the root system freezing hard and killing the magnolia right to the ground. Since its a new plant you should also plant some evergreen ground cover to insulate it during the winter. Azalea's are a good choice because they like the same soil acidity. If you wait too long to plant a ground cover you won't be able to because of the magnolias feeder roots.

Jim, I have a young 6 ft teddy bear magnolia that currently has a poor bush like shape, how do I trim to promote a more typical shape. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

As much as I love the look of Magnolia Grandiflora, I think I'm just going to pass on planting one. They do seem like dirty trees, and if you don't pick up after them the water that collects in the litter is a perfect breeding ground for mosquitos.

Jim, do the newer plants drop leaves during the year. Seems like the old native ones drop all the time.

Well part of the issue there is in our landscapes we tend to have very dry and very wet conditions seasonally. That causes a lot of interior leaf drop during the summer. A plant in a bed with mulch that is not competing with tons of other things would be less likely to shed constantly.
