Planting Your Magnolia Exmouth Cones: Ensuring A Strong Start

  • Site Preparation: Choose a location that accommodates the tree’s mature size and shape; ensure the soil is not compacted.
  • Soil Preparation: Amend the soil with compost or aged manure to enhance fertility and drainage.
  • Planting: Ensure the tree is planted at the same depth as its container. Apply mulch around the base to help retain moisture and control weeds, avoiding direct contact with the trunk to prevent rot.

Watering Requirements After Planting

When you plant a new tree, it's crucial to give it the right start by ensuring it receives sufficient water. Here’s a general guideline for watering your newly planted tree:

  • Immediately After Planting: Water your tree generously right after planting your Magnolia Exmouth Cones to settle the soil around the roots and eliminate any air pockets.
  • First Three Months: The initial three months are critical for the establishment of the tree. During this period, the tree should be hand watered twice daily, in the morning and evening. This helps the roots grow deep and strong.
  • Irrigation System: If you have an irrigation system, adjust it to ensure the tree gets adequate water during these first months.
  • Adjusting to Weather Conditions: Always consider the weather conditions and adjust your watering accordingly. In hotter and drier periods, additional watering may be necessary.

Consistent attention to your tree’s watering needs during this initial period will help ensure its healthy growth and long-term success in your garden.
