Here is another link: https://apps.extension.umn.edu/garden/diagnose/plant/deciduous/magnolia/
This link is to "What's wrong with my plant?" for magnolia trees. You can work through the potential problems with your tree.
Many have had problems with magnolia scale: https://apps.extension.umn.edu/garden/diagnose/insect/trees-shrubs/not-obvious/magnoliascale.html
