Magnolia leaves eaten

[granny grump]

Grandadg is concerned because something is eating the leaves of his magnolia. The plant has a couple of sorry looking flowers and now something is eating the leaves - Has anyone any idea what it could be and what we can do?

Could you be more specific? what species of magnolia is it? does it look as if some kind of insect is eating the leaves? are the leaves being eaten from the edges or are holes appearing in the middle of the leaves. Alternatively are the leaves being eaten completely as by some kind of herbivore such as a deer? more information needed.

Thank you rsvp & he has got some ideas now jomilf

The magnolia is called Susan and the leaf is being eaten all over, edges and in the middle
