Companion To Magnolia Trees?

Question From: 
Monika in  Dee Why,  Sydney NSW

 

Nature of problem: 
I would like to plant a row of Magnolia trees as a high hedge to screen out neighbour’s balcony. Is there anything I can plant underneath which would do well in the same garden bed?

And what else would you recommend if anything to plant underneath? Thank you.

Answer: Not much info to go on Monika. At a rough guess, all should be ok. Order a best quality Organic soil mix.  Don
