Can you prune an Edith Brogue Magnolia? (this is the large flower southern type magnolia)?

Some advise from a gardening site:





The overall size of a magnolia can be limited by annual pruning immediately after blooming. As long as the twiggy flowering wood is left and the long shoots and any dead wood is removed, the flower display is maintained on a compact tree. On some varieties this annual prune encourages the tree to produce stems which have up to six or eight flowers spaced along them.





Good luck!

yes you can trim any time you want
Reply:Don't forget that this plant is a dwarf. The more you prune it the smaller it will be. Prune immediately after flowering because mags set their floral buds in the fall.
