How to Prune a Jane Magnolia: Keep Your Tree in Shape
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Okay, so, I got this Jane Magnolia tree in my yard, right? It’s a pretty thing, especially when it’s blooming in the spring. But here’s the thing – I wasn’t sure how to prune it. I mean, I didn’t want to mess it up.

First, I did a little digging around to figure out when’s the best time to even start hacking away at it. Turns out, you’re supposed to wait until after it blooms and those flowers start to, you know, die off. So, I waited patiently, admiring those pretty pink and purple flowers all spring long.

How to Prune a Jane Magnolia: Keep Your Tree in Shape

Once the flowers were gone, that’s when I got my chance. I grabbed my pruning shears – made sure they were nice and sharp, of course. I had learned that clean cuts are important, so I wiped them down real good before starting.

  • Looked for dead or damaged branches first. Those were the easy ones to spot. Just followed the branch until I found where it was all dried up and snipped it off.
  • Then, I stood back and took a good look at the whole tree. It was getting a little crowded in the middle, so I carefully selected a few branches here and there to thin it out. I remembered reading somewhere that you don’t want to go crazy with the pruning on these things.
  • Made sure each cut was just above a bud that was facing outwards. I heard that this helps the tree grow in a nice shape. I also made sure that the tree was getting enough sunlight as overshade is not good for its health.

Honestly, I was a bit nervous at first. But once I got going, it wasn’t so bad. And you know what? The tree actually looked a lot better afterward. It was like giving it a little haircut, just tidying it up. It seems that the Jane Magnolia tree is growing healthily after my pruning, the new branches and flowers were growing so well in the next season!

So yeah, that’s my story of pruning my Jane Magnolia. It wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be. Just gotta be patient, take your time, and not go overboard. And who knows, maybe next year it’ll bloom even more beautifully than before!
