Use a slow release tree and shrub fertilizer in early spring. It has good salt tolerance, and is great for coastal areas.
After blooming is the best time to prune Magnolia. Remove old wood or diseased stems at this time. After the bloom period is also a good time to do any shape pruning or hedge trimming.
