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.

Late-summer, autumn, or winter pruning can result in few, if any, flowers the following year.
Now that we are in late winter with spring just around the corner, now is the time to prune blueberry bushes before new growth emerges.
