Magnolia Grandiflora 'Edith Bogue' - How to Prune?

wxman81
10 years ago

I had the local garden center order me in a 15 gallon Magnolia Grandiflora 'Edith Bogue' as they normally don't carry them up here. I planted a 2 gallon Magnolia Grandiflora '24 Below' last year that I got via mail order and I protected it lightly this past winter. It sailed through just fine, so that's why I got a larger specimen this year.

Now I want this to take on more of a tree form and eventually be able to walk under it like any other yard tree. What is the best way to prune the tree to begin this transformation? When do I prune?

Here are a couple of pics showing the tree.

Thanks!
