    Victoria Grand Flora Evergreen Magnolia tree
    3-4 years old

    Tree was never dense or thick -snow broke off one large branch
    and all the branches are long with leaves at end - this i feel makes the tree weaker in wind and snow
    i want a bushy dense tree that is more column shaped - i think it was never pruned properly first year

    Question
    can i prune it now to create more leaves closer to trunk of tree
    i want way more leaves on branches ... is there a way ?

    if i cut before a fork in branch will it sprout new leaves where i cut it ? i am ok with it lookiing ugly for a while
    as i want more bushy
