Choose a sunny or partially shaded, sheltered position with fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Magnolias generally prefer neutral to acidic conditions and benefit from protection against strong, cold winds.
Prepare a generous planting hole and position the root ball at approximately the same depth as it has been growing in the pot. Firm gently and water thoroughly after planting.
Water regularly throughout the first growing season while the roots establish. Applying an organic mulch around the base will help conserve moisture and improve the surrounding soil.
Magnolias require very little routine pruning. Where necessary, remove damaged or unwanted growth after flowering.
