How to Prune Southern magnolia?
(Magnolia grandiflora)
Southern magnolia, also known as Evergreen magnolia, Big laurel
This evergreen tree, renowned for its glossy leaves and large, fragrant flowers, benefits from pruning to maintain shape and health. The key techniques involve removing dead or damaged wood, thinning crowded branches to enhance air circulation, and reducing limb length to encourage denser foliage. Southern magnolia should be pruned in winter, when it's dormant, to minimize stress and sap loss. Pruning not only improves appearance but also promotes vigorous growth and bloom production in the following season.
