cylindrical magnolia

Water Cylindrical Magnolia (Magnolia cylindrica) deeply every 1 to 2 weeks in the late spring and summer. During the winter, reduce watering to approximately once a month. It is best to water the tree when the soil is dry to the touch. Make sure that the area around the roots is regularly mulched to help keep the soil moist. Avoid wetting the foliage when possible.

Cylindrical Magnolia (Magnolia cylindrica) thrive in sunny spots with at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day, with more sunlight leading to larger flowers. If grown indoors, this plant species should be placed very close to a south or west-facing window, where it can receive the recommended daily allotment of sun. When growing outdoors, choose a spot that gets full morning sun and partial afternoon shade, such as under trees or on the edge of a wooded area.

Cylindrical magnolia should be pruned from late winter to early spring. It is best to begin pruning when the plant is still in its winter dormancy period. The cylindrical magnolia should be pruned back to the desired shape, removing dead and damaged wood as well as any crossing branches. The main branches should be cut back to an acceptable length and side-shoots should be thinned out. The plant should not be pruned back more than 1/3 of its total height at any 1 time, nor should any more than 1/3 of the branches in a single season be removed. By pruning regularly each year, cylindrical magnolia can maintain its attractive form and keep producing healthy foliage that will bloom in the spring.
