Good Afternoon, we have a lovely Magnolia however it is getting rather tall and we will need to have it cut back, please can anyone advise the best time of year for the work to take place, thank you
I agree they don't like it, but @markie6657 says "it is getting rather tall and we will need to have it cut back" , there's only 2 options, prune it , or lose it altogether.
I fear it may end up being both options, one after the other, if it throws up lots of water shoots and loses its shape and charm. A job for a professional I think if the tree is to have a long term future.
