Commonly Asked Questions

How do I look after my Espalier Magnolia?

Espaliered plants will continue to grow beyond the current lattice. You can snip off the existing lattice to attach a larger lattice or an additional one. Espaliered plants grow well along guide wires. Plants can also be pruned back to smaller sizes to suit compact gardens.

Can Espaliered Magnolia be kept in a pot?

Yes they can, be sure to select a planter pot with ample room for growth and one that allows for good draining. Keep in mind plants in a pot will typically grow a little slower than something that is planted in the ground. Planted pots also dry out more quickly, ensure plants receive plenty of water, especially in warmer months.

How do I keep my Magnolia looking healthy?

Ensure magnolias are well watered, especially during the warmer months. A layer of mulch will help retain the moisture in the soil. A quality fertiliser will also increase the health of your plant. A gentle prune is also suitable.
