When we moved into our house there were 2 small magnolia 'bushes' in front of the house about 2 ft from the foundation. Over the years they have grown to about 4 ft tall but very leggy, some branches bare except for a few leaves near the top. They do bloom but small and few flowers. They get shaded sun but not full sun. My neighbor said if I try to prune them or move them they'll die. Can I move them to a better sunny area? Prune the branches?
