Planting & Care Plant your Ann Magnolia in a spot in your yard that receives full sun. Acidic to normal soils are best, so you may need to amend your soil if it is very alkaline. Make sure the soil is well-draining. Plant in a hole twice as wide but just as deep as the root ball. Add a thick layer of mulch around the tree. Watering: Water frequently until the plant is established. You might need to water more than once a week during hot or dry months. Once established, only water during periods of drought. Pruning: Once established, you can prune your Ann Magnolia immediately after it blooms. You can train this tree into a small shrub if desired. Pruning is not required for the health of this tree. Fertilization: Fertilize with a magnolia-appropriate fertilizer in March.
