Certified ExpertA.I would not, if it drops lots of litter, constantly. If you can space it a good 10 or 20 feet that would be ideal.

Certified ExpertA.Unfortunately, these trees cannot be pruned as they mature. All pruning must be done very early on to shape the tree. They do not recover from pruning into maturity.
Here is an article that will explain a little more:

January 29, 2022Q.My Magnolia Tree Has Either A Pest Or A Infection On The Trunk And Big Limbs
I have noticed that the 45 year old Magnolia tree in my yard has either a pest or a infection on the trunk and big limbs. It looks like patches of dirt however when you scrape off a piece it feels like a moss. I have tried to scrape off has much as possible. Also the base of the trunk has peeled and cracked in one spot. What is this and what can I do about it. I don't want to lose this tree. Thanks

15101Q.Magnolia
I have a magnolia tree with large pink flowers and after it blooms it drops spikes, not pods with seeds in them. I have tried to research what they are called and to see if they are seeds and how to grow a new tree.

Certified ExpertA.Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. I am unable to identify the plant in question.
It is possible that the tree could have similar flowers, but have been misidentified when planted.

Certified ExpertA.The Star magnolia may be a better choice in your zone. Saucer magnolias are notorious for getting nipped by a late freeze.

I have a magnolia tree in a pot which is about 8 feet tall and is about 4 years old. The pot is 65cm across. It always gets lots of leaves but has never flowered. Should I reduce the height by lopping or is it likely to flower at all?
