Hello,

I purchased a Star Magnolia from the Daily Telegraph in the middle
of March this year, planted it the same day etc. So far, no sign of
life.. it's just a stick in the mud!

Is this normal? When should I expect to see any sign of life?

Cheers..

Well down here in the SW they're all in leaf, having flowered, too.


Well I'm down in sunny Littlehampton and it looks like this star mag is dead
as a dead thing - cheers

You could try scraping a teeny tiny bit of the bark to see if it's still
green underneath and if it is, leave it alone. Miracles do happen!
