That lovely Magnolia, the one with the flowers that can be as big as one’s hand and lemon scented, lemon scented flowers that is. Is there an annual cutting back/pruning regime one should follow?

While you can prune young trees ( that you can reach without a ladder) lightly, pruning older trees is not advisable.
