Felix Magnolia Tree

The Felix Magnolia Tree grows to about 16–22 feet tall and 5–7 feet wide, with a narrow, upright form that fits well in smaller yards or along pathways.

Felix Magnolia has a moderate growth rate, typically growing 12–18 inches per year under ideal conditions.

Plant your Felix Magnolia in a sunny, well-drained spot with protection from strong winds. It’s perfect for front yards, entryways, or as a statement tree in smaller spaces.

Felix Magnolia trees are low-maintenance but benefit from consistent care:
• Watering: Water deeply once or twice per week during the first year. Reduce frequency once established.
• Sunlight: Requires full sun (at least 6–8 hours per day) to bloom well.
• Soil: Prefers slightly acidic, well-draining soil.
• Pruning: Prune in late winter to maintain shape and remove dead or crossing branches.
• Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring.
• Mulching: Apply 2–3 inches of mulch around the base to conserve moisture and protect roots.

Felix Magnolia blooms in early spring, producing large, fragrant pink flowers before the leaves emerge.

The best time to plant is in early spring or fall, when temperatures are mild and the tree can establish roots before extreme weather.

Prune in late winter while the tree is dormant. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches, and shape lightly if needed. Avoid heavy pruning to preserve flower production.

Felix Magnolia is hardy in Zones 5–9. In colder climates, mulch around the root zone in fall to insulate roots and protect from freeze-thaw cycles. Protect flower buds from late frosts if needed.

Yes, fertilize once a year in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer formulated for flowering trees and shrubs. This helps support healthy growth and consistent blooming.

The tree itself is frost-hardy to Zone 5, but flower buds may be vulnerable to late spring frosts. If a freeze is expected while buds are forming, consider covering the tree overnight with breathable fabric.

All California orders require a mandatory inspection by the Texas Department of Agriculture (yep, it’s a USDA thing!). These inspections happen about once a week—typically on Tuesdays, though the day can vary. If you place an order just after an inspection, your plant may not ship for several days until the next one. Unfortunately, we’re not able to expedite this part of the process.

Also, due to USDA regulations, we’re unable to ship oak trees, citrus or fruit trees (except olive trees) to California. This rule helps prevent the spread of pests and diseases and applies to nurseries across the country.

Thanks for your patience—we’ll make sure it’s worth the wait.
