Caring for Magnolia 'Scented Pearl'

Immediate Care Post-Planting:
Once your Magnolia 'Scented Pearl' is planted, it requires attentive care to ensure robust growth and prolific blooming:

Watering: For the first week after planting, water the tree daily to help the roots establish in their new environment. Ensure that the soil is kept moist but not waterlogged. As the tree becomes more established over the following weeks, you can gradually reduce the frequency of watering.
Mulching: After planting, spread a 2-3 inch layer of organic mulch around the base of the tree, ensuring you leave a gap around the trunk to prevent rot. Mulching will help in retaining soil moisture, suppressing weeds, and providing a steady supply of organic nutrients as it decomposes.

Long-term Maintenance:
Magnolia 'Scented Pearl' is relatively low-maintenance once established, but following certain practices will ensure it thrives:

Watering: While the Magnolia 'Scented Pearl' prefers consistently moist soil, it's important to avoid over-watering, which can lead to root rot. During dry spells or in particularly hot climates, water deeply once a week. During wetter periods or in cooler climates, you can adjust the frequency accordingly.
Fertilizing: In early spring, before the new growth emerges, apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer around the base of the tree. This will provide the necessary nutrients for the upcoming growing season.
Pruning: Minimal pruning is required for Magnolia 'Scented Pearl'. However, if you wish to shape the tree or remove dead or damaged branches, it's best to do so after flowering to avoid cutting off next year's buds.
Pest and Disease Watch: While Magnolias are generally resistant to most pests and diseases, it's always a good idea to periodically inspect your tree. Look out for scale insects, aphids, or the occasional appearance of fungal leaf spots. Address any issues promptly, either by removing affected areas or using appropriate treatments.
Protection: Young Magnolia trees can benefit from protection against strong winds or frost during their first winter. Consider using a burlap wrap or positioning a windbreak if you're in a particularly exposed location.
