FAQ

I have three Little Gem Magnolia trees, about 8-10 years old, along my driveway that have been losing most of their leaves since last summer. What can I do to save them?

Little Gem Magnolia trees have few serious pests that could cause this damage. When uniform defoliation occurs throughout the crown, it is usually due to a root or soil disorder or an extreme weather event such as drought or low temperature injury. However, many other factors such as spider mites or scale insects could produce these symptoms. It is recommended that you contact a certified arborist who can inspect the trees and site to determine the possible cause.
