When is the best time to prune a magnolia?
The best time is midsummer, after flowering and when the plant is in full leaf. Avoid pruning in the spring or early-summer or the pruning'>pruning cuts will bleed. Pruning when the plant is dormant can lead to shoots dying back and being attacked by Coral spot fungus.
