We have a lot of Magnolias on our place, but they are Southern Magnolia. The are nice to look at and have beautiful large white flowers in the Spring, but the shed enough leaves to kill everything that tries to grow beneath them, so we don't have them around the house. One thing that I have noticed about the shed leaves is that they burn like gasoline.
