Magnolia x soulangeana 'Red Lucky'

Help me please .. something is eating my Magnolia. I cannot see anything on the plant. It happened last year too but it seemed to be okay this year until last week .. any ideas ?

If you find out I'd be interested as mine has been

Sorry! Will finish sentence- mine had been munched on too!

Looks like slugs or snails, could always put some slug pellets around the base, or if you get hedgehogs use egg shells around the base :))))

@lilolill it could also be sawfly. Check to see if there are any tiny little caterpillars, they will decimate a plant in no time at all. It is looking like slugs and snails as well as in the pics there is snail/slug trails on the leaf. Good luck 😊🙏🏼👍🏼

Thanks @cactusboy123 @pixierose I will do a thorough check and put some slug repellent around the plant. I might move too as it is next too a higher standing bush that the slugs may be using as a ladder !!

I am so happy. This was a present last year but was just bare twig .. this year I have two big flower buds and three small .. happy days :♧
