Can you prune a magnolia? Absolutely! The best time is right after flowering – this gives your tree a chance to bloom again in late summer.
🌸 The ideal time? Right after the spring flowering.
✂️ Lightly trim back the ends of branches and remove any crossing or weak growth. Be gentle – magnolias don’t like harsh cuts.
Why so soon after flowering? Because the plant needs time to develop new buds for late summer.
