How to grow the Magnolia 'Milky Way' tree in NZ

To grow Magnolia 'Milky Way' successfully in New Zealand, plant it in full sun or part shade with well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Select a sheltered spot protected from strong winds and late frosts, as these can damage flower buds. Enrich the soil with compost at planting and apply mulch each year to retain moisture. Water the tree regularly during dry periods, especially while it is establishing. Feed with a balanced fertiliser in spring after flowering. Prune only to maintain shape or remove damaged branches.

Mulch yearly to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and protect shallow roots. Water deeply during dry spells, particularly while the tree is establishing. Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early spring to support strong growth and flowering. Prune only after flowering to remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Protect young trees from strong winds and late frosts, which can damage developing buds. Avoid disturbing the roots, as magnolias prefer to remain undisturbed once planted.
