Dear Joanne,

When this magnolia flowers and the spent flower petals fall to the ground there really isn’t anything to rake up because the petals essentially wither away to almost nothing.

I have a 75 ft sycamore that was hit by lightening in 08. It now needs to be cut down. My Landscaper suggested this tree. My concern it is a dirty tree.? I would have to rake all the flowers when the blooms come down. I had hip surgery and can not do some of the things I was able to do. I am looking for a nice shade tree to help give shade to my sun room.

Denise,

Your plant should flower soon. Most magnolias will flower at a very young age.

I planted a yellow magnolia last spring’08 in zone 7 – south-east exposure. It is about 7 ft tall. No flowers this year. How long before I can expect to see the tree flower?

We can try to identify the tree from images. Please send them to scott@swarthmore.edu with a note and any other details that might help us identify the plant.
