If you are in this situation where your junior mortgage liens are âunder waterâ you should first consult with your accountant to determine what, if any, tax liability might result in the event the bank(s) suddenly forgive your debt.
Prune your magnolia right after it blooms. Some magnolias bloom in early spring, others in summer. Regardless of type, prune after the main flush of bloom. Some southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora) cultivars such as 'Little Gem' bloom all summer. Prune these early in the growing season. Late-summer, autumn, or winter pruning can result in few, if any, flowers the following year.
Prune a cutting Prune a branch that measures between 8 to 12 inches from a magnolia tree. Make sure that the cutting is an upper branch from the tree, has a tip and contains new growth. Only prune the branch from late summer to fall. Prepare the cutting Clip off all the leaves from the cutting.
