Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Stratification: 

Big Leaf Magnolia seeds require cold stratification. Place the seeds in a moist, sand or peat mixture and store them in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 months to simulate winter conditions.

Sowing:

After stratification, sow the seeds in pots or seed trays filled with a well-draining seed starting mix.
Sow the seeds about 1 inch deep.
Water the soil thoroughly after planting.

Germination:

Place the pots or seed trays in a warm, bright location but out of direct sunlight.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Germination can take several weeks to a few months, so be patient.

Transplanting:

Once the seedlings have developed a few sets of true leaves and are sturdy enough to handle, they can be transplanted into larger pots or directly into the garden.
Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained, fertile soil.
Space the plants at least 10 to 15 feet apart to allow for their large size.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Regular watering is essential, especially during dry periods. Ensure the soil remains moist but not soggy.
Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the tree to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
Pruning: Minimal pruning is required. Remove any dead or damaged branches as needed.
Protection: Protect young trees from strong winds and harsh winter conditions by using tree guards or other protective measures.

Happy Gardening!
