Are magnolia trees easy to maintain?

is there a lot of pruning to do? do they grow to be pretty big?

Are magnolia trees easy to maintain?
I have a magnolia tree in my yard in Florida is at least 40 feet high..They require no maintence whatever if you prefer, they are hearty...I have trimmed maybe not over 12 or 15 lower branches off of them in a total of 6 years... I like to water mine and throw a little fertilizer now and then..but they will survive without it..Maybe if you buy one to transplant in your yard..you migth want to "baby" it the first full season..

Reply:They are VERY easy trees to maintain. They MAY grow huge if you keep them planted for a LONG period-of-time. Report It

Reply:I have a Saucer Magnolia........This kind blooms early spring then after it blooms it gets leaves..I never prune mine...It is about 6 yrs. old and is about 15 ft.high.....I do not know about the ones with shiny leaves except that they get really BIG
Reply:they do grow big. most trees are hands off affairs.
