Magnolia
Question:
I have just bought a magnolia plant and would like advice on planting it out, my garden gets sunlight for about 8 hrs a day then it is shaded from 3.00pm.
Answer:
Magnolias prefer full sun but are OK with some shade so it should do well in your garden. The best time to plant is in April but you can plant it now as long as you keep it well watered while it is being established. Try to plant it in a sheltered position and add plenty of well rotted compost to the planting hole and mulch with manure or leafmould. It requires minimal pruning. Remove any broken, diseased or crossing branches after flowering.
