You should not really prune a magnolia, only cut to shape if you grow a single stemmed one like I have, when it is really small. I bought mine single stemmed from the nursery.HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-63300888167505085462015-04-20T10:29:14.054+01:002015-04-20T10:29:14.054+01:00How big is your pot?

Wow, that is early. I've got two magnolias. I guess the Star-Magnolia will need another 2 or 3 weeks to open at least some of her buds. And the other one is a dark purple one (can't remember its name at the moment) that looks rather dead. I had some voles in that part of my garden, hope they haven't damaged it. There is no other way than wait and hope for the best. <br />Have a lovely spring Sunday<br />AlexAlex aus dem Gwundergartenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17345838066384134549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-91570376377656857262014-03-09T07:58:07.734+00:002014-03-09T07:58:07.734+00:00You've chosen a real gem, scented flowers, a b...You've chosen a real gem, scented flowers, a beautiful colour, and totally suitable for your small garden, definitely worth the (very good) price, and who could resist a second when discovered?!
