Southern Magnolia Reigns Supreme
By Troy Keeble
Area Extension Horticulturist
The South is a region noted
for many features such as her
people, her natural resources,
and her scenic beauty. One of
her greatest assets is her trees,
not only for industry but for beau
ty.
One of her trees stands out in
romantic fiction, poetry and
music and that is the Southern
Magnolia. This stately tree with
its large dark glossy leaves and
six-to eight-inch cup-shaped flo
wers truly reigns supreme as a
landscape and garden specimen.
It is found throughout Georgia
as a native or Introduced spe
cie and becomes more popular
each year.
Southern Magnolia, which Is
known as Magnolia grandlflora,
Is just one among many species,
varieties and selections of mag
nolias grown today. It is con
sidered subtropical, growing
mainly in the moderate climates.

History reveals that magnolias
as a group once flourished th
roughout North America and Eu
rope. Fossil remains of some
magnolia species have been found
in Greenland and other areas of
the Arctic Circle. As the Ice
Age descended many forms of
plant and animal life were de
stroyed in those locations or
found new homes in more hos
pitable climates.
Magnolias were named after
Pierre Magnol who was a di
rector of a botanical garden at
Monpelier, France. It is pro
nounced as Mag-nog’-lia. Os
course, it sounds much better
when given the slow soft pro
nunciation of a true Southerner.
Gardeners often become over
exuberant when selecting trees
for their landscape and particu
lary the Southern Magnolia. It
is a large growing tree, reaching
a height of 90 feet and a spread
of almost equal dimensions. Con
sequently, a large amount of
space is required for its growth
THE COVINGTON NEWS
and development. It is a tree
for large lawn areas or gardens.
Magnolias reach their greatest
beauty when grown as speci
men trees in open areas. As a
specimen the tree should be al
lowed to branch as low as pos
sible in order to gain the full
dense pyramid-like shape. Also
the clutter of fallen leaves will
not be worrisome since they may
be allowed to accumulate under
the low growing branches.
Unknowing gardeners some
times avoid magnolias as a tree
because they have an idea they
are extremely slow growing. The
opposite is true if a healthy vi
gorous tree is planted in a soil
that is moist, yet well drained and
fertile. They may grow as much
as six feet a year once the trees
becomes established and re
ceives proper water and fertili
zation. Under these conditions
it might be classed as a fast
growing tree.
There are a few factors worth
remembering if you anticipate

planting a magnolia. The roots
[of a magnolia are quite soft,
thus they may be easily dam
aged in digging the tree or by
exposure to air and sun. The
plants should always be dug care
fully to avoid damage. In fact,
if it is necessary, each root
should be cut with a sharp sho
vel or nursery spade rather than
pried even in the slightest de
gree.
Magnolias are more satisfac
torily transplanted if purchased
from our nurserymen and garden
centers as balled and burlapped
or container grown plants. This
means they will have the soil
intact around the root system
and the soil ball will be wrapped
in burlap or held in place by the
can or basket in which it was
grown. The plants should not be
left out in the open while you are
preparing the soil for planting.
Place the plant in a protected
location to avoid drying of the
foliage, roots, and soil ball. In
planting, try to set the plant at
the sarne depth it grew in the
nursery. A mulch of leaves or
straw, after thoroughly water
ing the plant, will help it become
settled.
Where space is available the
Southern Magnolia will be an as
set to any property. It will be a
very valuable tree in the “Make
Georgia Beautiful” campaign.
After all, what could be more
typical of a truly beautiful South
than a tree which has long been
an aristocrat among trees.
