I Have A Star Magnolia In A Container

Question

How do I care for my star magnolia in the fall and winter. I live in new jersey

Answer 1

You live in hardiness zone 7a, and these trees are hardy to zone 5, so it should be Ok in a container. However, be sure to mulch it well, and if unusually cold extremes are predicted, I would also wrap the container in burlap or some other protective material.
