Magnolia Tree leaves are spars & brown


Question

Magnolia Trees
I have live in East Texas and have 2 magnolia trees.  The very few leaves on both trees, and one tree the leaves have turned brown and are falling off.  I tried putting Epsom Salt around the bottom of the tree with the dead leaves but it did not help.  Eveyone elses magnolia trees are so full, green, and pretty.  Mine barely has leaves and the other has brown leaves.

Answer
I am sorry it looks like the tree is dead. Check by scraping a small bit of bark off a outer upper (if you can reach it) branch. IF the color under the bark is green then the branch is still alive IF the color under the bark is not green --brown the branch is dead. I am afraid you are going to not find green living branches.
