The magnolia is small.  It bloomed very nicely last year, but this year there were no buds, leaves or flowers.  It appears to be dead, but if I can do something to nurse it back to health (or from the dead) please advise.

Nick the bark a bit with your fingernail or a knife - not too deep or big - just enough to see under a little peel.  if it is green then the tree is alive but dormant.  If there is no green, sadly it is dead, from which there is no return.  How was your winter - some Mag varieties are less hardy than others.  It could also be a soil compatability issue.
