I just bought quite a large (2.5 metres tall)
Magnolia Grandiflora very cheaply (12.50 euro = £10)
from my favourite garden centre
(Murphy & Wood, Dun Laoghaire, Ireland)
and am wondering how to get it out of its large plastic container?

Incidentally, the expert at the centre said it was a myth
that magnolia couldn't stand lime.
He said it would grow more or less anywhere in this region,
admittedly fairly acid as there is granite underneath.



Others have mentioned the removing from the pot, I just thought I would
point out that of all the magnolias, grandiflora is the most lime
tolerant, but to say that generally you can get away with any magnolia on
limey soil is as wrong as saying they must all have acid soil
