Branches are the least of his problems. The root structure of a Southern Magnolia is often equal to the area of its canopy, if not larger. And these roots are unforgiving to say the least. If he harms them, he will likely kill the tree for which there are SUBSTANTIAL penalties assessed by the State. It is a protected species in the State of Florida. His pool is an unlikely exception to the state statute. EVEN if it was on his OWN property, this is one of the four species that require permits to trim or remove. And a pool or a view is NOT a good enough reason.
