How to grow the Magnolia 'Lennei Alba' tree in NZ

To grow Magnolia 'Lennei Alba' successfully in New Zealand, choose a sunny or partially shaded position with well drained, slightly acidic soil. Enrich the soil with compost at planting and apply mulch annually to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Water regularly during dry periods, especially while establishing. Protect young plants from strong wind and late frosts, which can damage early flower buds. Feed with a balanced fertiliser in spring after flowering. Prune only to remove damaged or crossing branches.

Magnolia Magnolia 'Lennei Alba' care tips

Mulch annually to keep the soil cool, moist, and weed free. Water deeply during dry periods, especially while the tree is young. Feed with a balanced slow release fertiliser in early spring to support healthy growth and flowering. Prune only after flowering to remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches.
