My magnolia tree did not bloom or produce any leaves this year, is it dead?
by

1 Answer

Answer :

Nick the bark a bit with your fingernail or a knife - not too deep or big - just enough to see under a little peel.  if it is green then the tree is alive but dormant.  If there is no green, sadly it is dead, from which there is no return.  How was your winter - some Mag varieties are less hardy than others.  It could also be a soil compatability issue.
