Good morning , perfect video, I have a 10× 10 space in my back yard in lawrenceville Ga ,was looking at a few tree options, will also consider the Little Gem Magnolia ,thanks again for another insightful video.

You may want to consider a mix, include plants that resist insects or act as a natural insecticide themselves.

Be careful not to over plant ur area, keeping in mind, this tree needs space to grow. I have a Little Gem (30’ x 10’), and I love cutting greenery and blossoms thru out the year.

I like that you used the word shade in there. I grew up in Guatemala and some neighbors had a Magnolia Grandiflora, an old one, the father had studied forestry in the US, had propagated it and gifted saplings, and by then they were big. They grew very well there and I hope that people are still propagating them and caring for them. (This was all in a neighborhood in the capital city that has large, well kept yards and maybe only about 20 properties had them, l have not been back in 30 years so I don't know how it is now).

So happy you did this video. I have wanted a Magnolia for 20 years. Finally we moved to a piece of property that would allow it to grow to its most magnificent self. It is 3 years old and went from a 5' to 12' in these 3 years. But I really didn't have any idea of on going care. This is timely for me. Thanks so much for guidance in taking it into a long healthy life. I cannot express the joy this one tree gives me every single time I look into my back yard. I guess every southern belle needs a Magnolia to live her life the fullest! teehee

Arrange those leaves and flowers and attach to a ceiling fan so they twirl around when the fan is on😀 and the aroma will spread evenly. Just a hunch. I bet the cut flowers would make an Epsom Salt bath all the more enjoyable. Epsom Salts have such healthy minerals which we may even be lacking. It sure helps calm the troubled spirit, too.

In SE Asia, there is one type of magnolia tree with powerful fragrance from small white or yellow flowers that can be sold as sacred offering to Buddhist shrine. Also, it is known that this type of SE Asian magnolia tree would be home to spirit as it gets older.

I have one!! NJ and not really protected. It does sit on the southeast corner of our house and snuggles up to the garage but it does wonderfully! It's my favorite in the yard and other then shedding a lot especially after a harsh winter, it looks and smells like magic! Take care with the pine cones though, they can ruin your lawn mower!!! Rake them up first. Other then that, what a performer.

Dear Allen do you have experience with the Magnolia champaca? According to my local garden store this one do not need stratification. I would love to get some tips/advices. I live in the Netherlands (hardiness zone 8a). Thank you very much.

Hey Allen! My neighbors mom just dug up a magnolia tree and give it to me and im not sure where i want to plant it. I know they get pretty big. Right now its about 3 ft tall and has quite a few leaves on it. I was wondering would it do fine in a pot if i bring it inside for the winter just until i figure out where its gonna go? Unfortunately i dont know the varierty of magnolia it is, is there any way i can tell? Thanks 😊

I have 3 little gem magnolia trees I planted 2.5 years ago from 24" box. They were very healthy the first 2 years. Lately they are so bare, so many leaves turn brown but still stay on the tree. Do I need to water more or less? I water once a week for 15min with drip irrigation (5-6 gallons).

Hadn't seen P. Allen Smith in some time now. I was searching to identify this particular tree/plant. I remember the very large one at Balboa Park in San Diego CA., next to the museum of history. I live there of two years ( 2012-2014 ), a "homeless" Preacher, READING God's holy written word ( King James Bible ONLY! ) during that same time. ...So, I sincerely hope Mr. Smith READS this message: Ezekiel 2:1-3:27; 14:1-23; !!18:1-32!! and 33:1-33; Jeremiah 5:1-31; 6:13-14; 8:10-11; ...I Tim. 6:3-10; Dan. 11:14; Luke 14:11; Rev. 3:14-18; and 22:18-19!! ...Finally: Matt. 24:1-25:46; II John 9-11; II Thess. 2:1-12; Rev. 13:1-18; ...for details: Daniel 1:1-12:13; and Revelation 1:1-22:21 ...Amen.

I wish I had enough space in my yard for several large magnolias, but alas. I am currently growing a few from cuttings, and Ill probably just squeeze them in anyway once they're old enough to get planted outside. I might have to get rid of some of the more mundane current occupants like Cherry Laurel or some of the Hydrangeas.

My house was build in 1910. I’m from a small town called Gridley in Ca. About 60 miles north of sacramento. I have 3 magnolias that range from small med and large. They are right in front of the walk way. I found it hard to keep the grass nice and green with no patches do to the droppings of the pods. Can you tell me the purpose of the large pods? They compact the dirt really frustrating to keep a nice yard. Thanks.
