The Majestic Full Grown Ann Magnolia Tree: A Complete Guide

//

Robby

The full grown Ann Magnolia tree is truly a sight to behold in any landscape. This beautiful, flowering deciduous tree reaches maturity at around 10-15 feet tall and wide, displaying elegant purple-red cup-shaped blooms in spring against lush green foliage.

An Overview of Ann Magnolia Trees

Ann Magnolia (Magnolia x ‘Ann’) is a popular hybrid magnolia cultivar that resulted from the crossbreeding of Magnolia liliflora ‘Nigra’ and Magnolia stellata ‘Rosea’. It’s part of the renowned “Little Girl” series of magnolias bred specifically for their compact size, cold hardiness, and late spring blooming period.

Some key features of full grown Ann Magnolia trees

  • Blooms in mid to late spring with fragrant, purple-red flowers resembling tulips.

  • Grows to a mature height and width of 10-15 feet, forming a rounded shape.

  • Hardy in USDA zones 4-9, surviving freezing winter temperatures.

  • Appropriate for small gardens or as foundation plantings. Also suitable for container growing.

  • Medium maintenance once established. Needs little pruning and is drought tolerant.

Planting Your Ann Magnolia Tree

When planting an Ann Magnolia, choose a site with full sun to partial shade and fertile, slightly acidic soil. Dig a hole 1.5 times wider than the root ball and water thoroughly after planting.

For the best results:

  • Plant in spring after the last frost or in late fall in warmer zones.

  • Space at least 10 feet from structures, sidewalks, and driveways.

  • Prepare soil by mixing in compost or peat moss to increase acidity.

  • Water deeply 2-3 times per week during the first growing season.

  • Apply 2-3 inches of organic mulch around the base to retain moisture.

  • Stake the tree for the first year if needed to prevent toppling.

Caring for a Full Grown Ann Magnolia

Once your Ann Magnolia reaches full maturity, relatively minimal care and pruning is required:

  • Water during droughts, ensuring the soil stays moist but not waterlogged.

  • Fertilize in early spring and summer with a balanced organic fertilizer or magnesium sulfate.

  • Prune only to remove dead or damaged branches or shape as needed after spring flowering.

  • Monitor for pests like scales, aphids, or snails and treat promptly with horticultural oils or insecticidal soap sprays.

  • Rake up fallen leaves and debris to discourage fungal diseases. Improve drainage if leaves remain wet.

  • Mulch around the tree each spring to insulate roots and retain soil moisture.

  • Stake or support lower branches that become too heavy as the tree ages.

The Benefits of Full Grown Ann Magnolias

Mature Ann Magnolia trees offer outstanding benefits that make them a treasured addition to residential and commercial landscapes:

  • Provide striking spring blossoms and summer foliage.

  • Grace outdoor spaces with beauty while requiring minimal care and pruning.

  • Tolerate pollution and urban conditions.

  • Attract pollinators like bees and butterflies.

  • Offer shelter for birds with their dense branching structure.

  • Adds ornamental interest to gardens year-round with flowers, leaves, seed pods, and branch structure.

  • Provides filtered shade that allows plants to thrive underneath.

Maximizing the Beauty of Ann Magnolias

To encourage the fullest flowering and optimize the visual impact of Ann Magnolias, consider these tips:

  • Plant in a site with full sunlight to promote prolific blooms.

  • Apply a nitrogen fertilizer or compost in early spring to support bud development.

  • Prune soon after flowering since next year’s flower buds emerge right after blooms fade.

  • Water regularly, especially during dry periods, for lush growth and flowers.

  • Remove spent blossoms to encourage reblooming later in the season.

The Grandeur of Full Grown Specimens

When allowed to reach their mature size, Ann Magnolia trees take on a spectacular grandeur, gracing landscapes with their vigorous blossoms and verdant foliage. Their natural, rounded form creates a beautiful specimen tree that provides multi-season interest. Their resilience, reliable flowering, and low-maintenance nature make Ann Magnolias a cherished addition to gardens across diverse regions. If given the proper growing conditions, any gardener can enjoy the splendor of a full grown Ann Magnolia tree.

Full Planting & Care Instructions

Plant your Ann Magnolia in a spot in your yard that receives full sun. Acidic to normal soils are best, so you may need to amend your soil if it is very alkaline. Make sure the soil is well-draining. Plant in a hole twice as wide but just as deep as the root ball. Add a thick layer of mulch around the tree.

Watering: Water frequently until the plant is established. You might need to water more than once a week during hot or dry months. Once established, only water during periods of drought.

Pruning: Once established, you can prune your Ann Magnolia immediately after it blooms. You can train this tree into a small shrub if desired. Pruning is not required for the health of this tree.

Fertilization: Fertilize with a magnolia-appropriate fertilizer in March.

Estimated Shipping Time: Most orders ship immediately. As noted on the website, some items are seasonal, and may only ship in spring or fall. Once your order is shipped, youll receive an email with a tracking number.
