Taking a cutting from a much loved Magnolia Tree
Options
Hello I wonder is somebody could very kindly help me.
Im a bit (very) clueless about gardening but have a very loved Magnolia tree that has followed us around different houses. Now its too big to move.
How could I take a cutting from it to grow one to two on so when we move in a few years time I can take part of it with me.
It has very strong sentimental value as it reminds me of my Mother who bought it for us
Many thanks

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Taking cuttings from magnolia and getting them to grow isn't easy. Ideally, you'd have a cold frame situated in a semi-shaded position and full of good, gritty soil into which you'd put the cuttings....with a chance then they'd then survive their first winter. Even in ideal conditions, growing magnolias from cuttings isn't always successful, and with some varieties it's very unlikely to work.The best advice I have is to try layering.RHS guide here:

Many thanks I have studied the website and will give layering a go.
