| Hello everyone,
I just joined this forum hoping to find feedback/information as to what to do about a young Jane Magnolia that appears not to be doing well second year in a row. I received the potted magnolia last year and due to various 'projects' going on in both the front and back yards, the magnolia has not been planted. Last spring as well as this spring, she did bloom and got new leaves, but then developed white spots on the trunk as well as the branches. When I researched it these appeared to require a spraying of a pesticide - which I did and she developed new leaves. This spring she bloomed again, leaves developed, but are now brown and shriveled up/follow off. I'm hoping she can be saved, but I don't know the best way to go about this. Special fertilizer, leave her alone and allow her to recover naturally? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
She is currently in the backyard and gets about 6 hours of sun. |

| It's still in a pot? If so, that is the problem, plant the thing. |

| Could be multiple causes of leaves turning brown and falling off. The white scale insects from last year, if they've returned, have toxic saliva that can kill or damage a tree if the infestation is heavy enough. Could also be something ranging from simply getting too dry to a nutritional issue to disease. We really need more information to go on. |

| Quite impossible to say what's wrong based just on your description - how big a tree? how large a container? how often do you water? what exactly required the need for spraying? what happened to it over winter? All of these issues could have a bearing on what's going on now, as will photos that accurately depict the current situation. More info needed!! :-)) |
