Star Magnolia - Spring 2023 Update
Last Post: 11 Mar 2023It’s early spring here in the Seattle area that means its time to get into my very modest garden and start going any repotting that needs doing. We had a very warm early February, followed by a a cold spell in the second half of the month. Which meant that all the trees woke up, and then had to be shuffled in and out of my workshop.
But when the trees start to wake up you have to do the work of repotting them before you miss the window. The first tree to wake up is my Start Magnolia which is a very early spring bloomer.

I got this tree in November and wanted to do some initial wiring on it and start to pull down the major branches that I wanted to keep.
Before well I wrapped but didn’t bend):
I broke a few minor branches while trying to put some bend in. Attempted to fix with superglue, we’ll see what happens. Generally happy with bringing secondary branches closer to horizontal and adding some shape to them.
