Magnolia.

[colwoodlandcare]

I've got a mature magnolia that a customer wants moving.

I've explained there is always a chance of it dieing but it has to be moved as there is an extension going in its place.

When would be the best time of year to move it?

now with a decent rootball .... but always a risk magnolias don't like getting moved

now might be a bit late if the weather stays mild, best time is november. you could do it in stages, do a root trim now, to allow fresh roots to develope closer to the trunk, then lift it in november.

Take your time and dig round it ,big rootball and it will be fine

Give us a call!

If time allows, I would cut a trench halfway around it as far out as will ultimately be moveable as a rootball and backfill with good topsoil to promote root growth; then move it in November.

Ours is flowering now. As said best time would have been earlier. If an extension is being built you probably have no choice anyway.
