# I have a 2 magnolia bushes maybe 6 ft apart from each other. One has…

_Posted by JenMich416 on 2025-05-16_

I have a 2 magnolia bushes maybe 6 ft apart from each other. One has already bloomed (second picture) and the other barely has any leaves (first picture). Third picture is of the very few leaves that it does have. Any ideas on what could be wrong with it or advice for bringing back to life?

I'm not sure, but something is obviously wrong, it unfortunately could be anything number of things. I would research pruning it back. And hopefully that will stimulate some growth. And look for anything odd or pests
