Defoliating and wiring a Magnolia x loebneri ‘Leonard Messel’.

Copper fall color.

Without leaves.

After wiring. Branches were brought upwards and towards the exterior, I leveled the branches in stages and elimiated three-junctions. The lowest branch will be cut eventually. Three branches were positioned to be grafted on the trunk.

Apex detail.
