    sounds like it never established itself.....lots of factors could be at play...it may have been very root bound in pot...sometimes when this happens the roots never really escape the old root zone so plants dont establish well...its a possibility?

    Hi Barry, Magnolia like an acid soil type..
    I have no idea what soil you have if it is not acid, you would have needed to have dug plenty of well rotted leaf mould & organic matter into the hole first so that it thinks it is in acidic type soil...

    If it was me I would feed them with sequestered iron plant food & see if that helps if it was me, it is good stuff & packed with....:thumb:

    A picture taken during the summer months would help a lot, if you have one.
