When to transplant Magnolia

1. Transplanting time

1. Seedlings: Seedlings can be transplanted in spring from March to May, or in autumn from August to October. The temperature in these two periods is relatively mild and stable, which is very suitable for transplanting. It is also beneficial for later growth recovery and can promote subsequent germination and growth.

2. Large trees: Early spring is the most suitable time to transplant large magnolia trees. They have not yet emerged from dormancy, their germination is weak, the sap in the trees flows slowly, and their metabolism is also slow. They can be transplanted at this time, which is beneficial to their growth that year. In addition to early spring, the plum rain season is also suitable. At this time, there is more rainfall and the air humidity is higher. The survival rate is higher at this time, but be careful not to choose to do it during heavy rain or high temperature. Try to choose cloudy or overcast weather.

2. Precautions

1. It is best not to transplant during the growing season. If you want to transplant during the growing season, you should also avoid the budding period and wait until the leaves stop growing before transplanting.

2. When transplanting, the soil ball should be kept to prevent damage to the roots. The survival rate of bare-root transplanting is low and it is not easy to survive.

3. After transplanting, proper pruning of the tree and removal of withered and weak branches can reduce nutrient consumption and increase the possibility of survival.
