Does Southern magnolia Prefer Sandy, Loamy, or Clay Soil?
Southern magnolia can adapt to various soil types, including sandy, loamy, and clay soils. However, loamy soil is most preferred due to its well-balanced mixture of sand, silt, and clay, which provides excellent drainage and aeration. If your soil is heavy clay or excessively sandy, amend it to improve its structure. Loamy soil supports better root development and overall plant health.
