If you are in this situation where your junior mortgage liens are âunder waterâ you should first consult with your accountant to determine what, if any, tax liability might result in the event the bank(s) suddenly forgive your debt.
Prune your magnolia right after it blooms. Some magnolias bloom in early spring, others in summer. Regardless of type, prune after the main flush of bloom. Some southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora) cultivars such as 'Little Gem' bloom all summer. Prune these early in the growing season. Late-summer, autumn, or winter pruning can result in few, if any, flowers the following year.
Planting a magnolia tree in an open area does not give sufficient protection from cold winds. Trees in an open area will be the most likely to have frost damage. Plant a magnolia tree near walls or structures with a southwest exposure to block the north winds.Trees near a structure absorb heat that reflects from the structure in the day and will retain more heat in the evenings to protect them from frost.ach of these evergreen magnolia trees are grown in full sun to partial shade in Sunsetâs Climate Zones 4 to 12 and 14 through 24. Evergreen magnolia trees retain their leaves throughout the winter. A frost can damage the remaining leaves and kill foliage and limbs if the temperatures are unusually cold.
