I have a bud from a magnolia tree it has opened up to find red seed like things. I want to know if this is what I plant to have a magnolia tree. If it can grow in PA or can I grow it inside until it is ready to be planted outside. It comes from the most beautiful magnolia tree in Exmore, VA.
Yes, some magnolia species can grow in NE Pennsylvania. Here is the problem you will have with your seeds. Virginia is one or two cold hardiness zones warmer than your area. That seed is from a tree that does not necessarily have the genetics to survive your winters, even though the species may be listed as hardy in your zone. The best I can tell you is to try it, but you could lose the tree in a cold winter.
Though most varieties of Magnolia can be propagated by seed, they will produce trees that are slow to flower and differ from the source tree. Yes, those are the seeds you see inside the buds.
Magnolia seeds have a fleshy outer pulp and a hard inner seed shell. You should remove this outer pulp first for best germination rates. Soak the seeds in water for a couple of days, changing the water every day. Remove any pulp and dry with a tissue. Plant immediately indoors or store in the refrigerator in a zip-lock bag with moist sand/vermiculite and sow in spring. Remember to not plant too deep. Sow seeds no more than two times their diameter deep in your soil.

I planted a Royal Star Magnolia tree in my front yard but I would now like to have an evergreen there and move the magnolia somewhere else. Are they easy plants to uproot? I don't want to damage it.
Generally the root ball is about the same size as the crown. Look at the top of the tree. If you feel able to dig out and move something that size, you're in business. Otherwise just leave the tree where it is or cut it down.
I have 2 small magnolia trees in my front yard, I got them last February, 2008. They are about 4 feet tall and produce beautiful flowers but I would really like them to start growing taller. What can I do?
In general trees of all kinds grow at their own pace. All you can do it keep them healthy. Here is a site with lots of links to various information about magnolia trees.

I have a very large Magnolia tree that someone cut all the lower limbs off of. What can I do to start new growth in the lower portion of the tree?
why do you want limbs in lower part, easier to mow around it lower branches not there
