    Today I (tried to) wired a few branches that were growing at weird angles on a Cornus florida in my landscape (just with some ordinary copper I had lying around). Can I leave them over winter? How long does it take for the branches to 'set'?

    • @BonsaiHarmony
      @BonsaiHarmony 2 месяца назад

      Keep an eye on them as we enter fall, branches will still be thickening until winter. You may begin to see some biting in early spring as the branches will thicken quickly once the leaves. Some of them may hold their positions if the wire is removed in early spring. If they still need adjustments at that time it's good to use guy wires you gently pull branches down.
