Magnolia died large leaves at base

My magnolia tree suddenly died but at the base very large leaves are unfurling it’s about 3 feet high now at the base of the tree. We have 2 magnolias and the other one is perfectly fine. Can anyone advise what has happened please?

  • Your magnolia was grafted onto a more vigorous base  plant and that has now taken over. It happens with my small plant so I remove the larger leaves when I see them.
    You need to remove the dead plant so you don't end up with one much larger than you need.
