This was the spare tree I took to Adelaide for the Koji workshop, pruned and re-wired

nice work mate.

Hi Gerard
What is the reason for wrapping raffia on the first branch? I cannot see much difference in the angle, maybe it was brought forward or backward?


Regards

Bark was slightly damaged so I was playing safe

The tree could nearly be in the first branch Gerard

Considered apex only as well as first branch only but the straight section of trunk will need a little foliage to cover it

could a solid branch bender be used( over a couple of seasons) to give that straight section some movement-- does anyone here use trunk or branch benders
