Litte Gem magnolia problem

[Moira McLachlan]

Can anyone help me with this problem. I live in central Victoria and have a row of little gems as a hedge. Planted 3 years ago. This one's leaves are drooping, turn yellow then brown and drop off. Two others did the same thing a year ago and died.
We are currently experiencing heat waves, but I have been watering regularly. The soil had good drainage and is not water logged.

You are alright friend. I don't think you have a problem yet. It's normal to lose a few leaves this time of the year. Magnolia's drop their leaves just like other trees but during different times than regular deciduous trees. Keep the soil airated around the base of the plant between waterings. Keep us posted
