How to grow the 'Atlas' Magnolia tree

Magnolia ‘Atlas’ thrives in full sun to light shade and prefers well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil enriched with organic matter. Choose a sheltered site protected from strong winds and late frosts to preserve its large spring flowers. Water regularly during dry spells, especially while the tree is establishing. Apply mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, keeping it clear of the trunk. Prune only to remove dead or crossing branches after flowering.
