Frequently asked gardening related questions
Magnolias generally require minimal pruning. The best time to prune is immediately after flowering in late spring/early summer. Only prune to remove dead, diseased, or damaged branches, or to maintain shape and size. Avoid heavy pruning, as magnolias are slow to heal and can be prone to dieback after large cuts. For evergreen magnolias, a light prune to shape can be done in late summer.
