Compost and leaf litter are the best fertilizers for sweet bay magnolias (Magnolia virginiana).
Specifically, magnolia trees most appreciate the nutrients that are released back into the soil from compost or their own leaf litter. Leaf litter can be applied as fertilizer along the drip line. Compost can be spread as a mulch from at least 6 inches (15 centimeters) from the trunk out to the tree's drip line.
Otherwise, they have no need for fertilizer schedules when they grow in grass, ground cover, lawn or turf that receives regular fertilizer treatments.
A balanced, slow-release fertilizer specifically formulated for acid-loving plants such as azaleas, camellias, and rhododendrons is ideal for sweet bay magnolias. Look for a fertilizer with a higher nitrogen content to promote healthy leaf growth and overall plant vigor. It's important to follow the application instructions carefully to avoid over-fertilizing, which can harm the plant.
