- Easy to grow. Once established, Magnolia ‚¬˜Teddy Bear‚¬„¢ will require very little maintenance.
- Pruning other than minor trimming is not required or recommended. Regular fertilizing with products such as Troforte and Organic Link will produce fast results and a vigorous plant.
Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring.
We cannot send ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture.
