Use this to your advantage in your yard. Here's how:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, plant trees at least 15 feet away from your house. You'll want to have access to the exterior for ongoing maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, imagine how your front entrance would look flanked by an arching pair of these trees.

Selectively prune the lower branches if needed to create the effect you want. Amazing curb appeal!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA very popular application of these trees would be to create a long row of them. Plant them 7 feet apart if you want the canopies to touch. If you want the trees to become individual specimens in your row, plant them 12 feet apart. Measure from the trunk of one to the trunk of the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRows look fantastic along a fence line or driveway.

If you have a water feature, build a high bank of extra soil near one edge. Add 24 inches of topsoil above grade. Then, sculpt the dirt and firm it up well. Plant the Yoshino directly in that mound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen sculpting your topsoil mound, imagine you are recreating a tiny mountain range.

You'll have the best flowering display with plenty of sunshine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey will perform at their best in slightly acidic, well-drained soils. Use a raised bed, if you need to improve drainage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn alkaline soils, use a three-inch layer of pine straw or pine bark mulch, which breaks down to naturally increase the soil acidity. Never let the mulch touch the trunk, and reapply annually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvide a regular schedule of supplemental water, if you don't receive enough rain. Soak your young plants to ensure their root systems are adequately hydrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce they are established, older plants can tolerate a bit of occasional drought. However, we always recommend that you protect your investment with a long, deep soak as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you need to prune your tree, wait until after the spring blooms are past. Create a pruning plan before you pick up the loppers. Decide which limbs you want to keep, then remove anything you need to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven though Magnolias are not a preferred plant for deer, it's always a good idea to apply deer repellent to new trees. They are curious and hungry.

Enjoy the play of squirrels as they run and cavort along the well-spaced, upright branches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllow a single specimen tree to become a magnificent focal point in your yard. Buying the largest container size we have in stock will shave years off your wait. If you have the room, try using multiple trees to create a wonderful design element in larger yards. Plant Northern Red Oaks 10 to 15 feet apart on center. Measure from the trunk of one to the trunk of the next. The branches may eventually touch, but each tree will have enough room to develop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant a row on either side of a long driveway for a transformative experience entering and exiting your land.

For the trees to stand alone as individual trees, give them at least 18 feet apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the most natural look, try to vary the distances between them, and don't plant them in a straight line. Rather, stagger the trees off-center, keeping the design loose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep your new trees in their nursery containers and play around with the spacing.

Moist, well-drained soils are best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey won't tolerate standing water. If you see puddles that remain on your planting site, you'll need to improve the drainage.
