Question: My Southern Magnolia Has Yellow Leaves. Is It Dying?
"I live in Charleston, SC and I have a magnolia tree that I planted a couple of years ago when it was about 5 feet tall (B&B). It finally flowered this past spring some, but not much. Now suddenly, this fall, I am having a lot of yellowing leaves. Any ideas?"
Answer:
Sometimes, when southern magnolia trees develop yellow leaves, it is only as a prelude to natural shedding (which happens periodically). However, this seems to occur more often in the spring. With you reporting seeing the yellow leaves in fall, it makes me think there could perhaps be a problem with your southern magnolia in terms of irrigation, be it natural or artificial (too much or too little).
