Question
I have lived in my home for 4 years and have a very nice magnolia tree - the problem is that it has never bloomed. Is there such a thing as a non-blooming magnolia? Or is there something I can do to get it to bloom?
Thank you

Answer
There is not a non-blooming magnolia. I would suppect that the tree is lacking in fertilizer. I would use a fertilizer with low nitrogen content and water the fertilizer in under the drip line of the tree. Nitrogen tends to stimulate twig growth and not flowers. You may not see the results of the fertilizer until next flowering season. But if the tree looks healthy I would try the fertilizer.
