Magnolias in alkaline soils need special care
Extension horticulturist Everett Janne outlines magnolia planting in acid-soil regions. Recommends soil preparation, peat moss backfill, drainage for tight soils, and sulfur to adjust pH. Suggests iron chelates or iron sulfate with sulfur to avoid iron chlorosis, foliar sprays, and proper moisture and mulch to protect evergreen magnolias from wind burn and winter injury.
