All For Gardening: Anything I need to be worried about? Haven’t had this magnolia for too long (<1 year). Just headed into an Australian spring and noting some leaves discolouring

Is that a Southern Magnolia? I think they’re the only ones with the fuzzy brown underside. I never see those on Reddit, it’s always the showy asian version. I have two old stately ladies in my front yard, I love them.
Little tree is probably about to drop some leaves, no worries. You can probably just tug that leaf right off with no resistance.

I have a southern magnolia as well and you’ll get these discolored leaves a couple times a year. Like already mentioned you can just pull them off if you want but they won’t hurt anything. As a side note that look to be planted extremely close to your house. Although the roots of magnolias don’t normally cause foundation issues if you have a older home with possible cracks in the foundation keep an eye on it.
