Plant tulip magnolia in the sun
The tulip magnolia (Magnolia soulangeana) is not only one of the oldest magnolia breeds, but also one of the most impressive. The tree with the light pink, tulip-like flowers can take on very large proportions in old age with a crown diameter between eight and ten meters. For this reason, the tulip magnolia does not belong in small gardens, but feels most comfortable as a solitaire with ample space.

Not only does the tulip magnolia need a lot of space, it also prefers a sunny and protected location. This should be as warm as possible and especially to stop the cold east wind: This species of magnolia is one of the more sensitive and is particularly endangered by late frost occurring in the spring.
Shadow root area especially in summer
Although it loves the tulip magnolia warm and sunny, but not in the root area. The shallow roots should be placed in a moist, slightly acidic substrate and protected from excess heat, for example by mulching material.
Tips
Since magnolias are generally not very cut friendly, you should only plant the tree if there is enough space in the garden - pruning or transplanting due to lack of space generally does not tolerate tulip magnolia.
