Hi,

I just wanted to share my first attempt at wiring a fig. As you can see from the before picture, this plant was very symmetrical so I had a go at getting some more shape into it! This plant has a long way to go, but any feedback is welcome!

Thanks,

Nick

That's not a bad effort at all for a first wring attempt! Can only see a couple of crossing wires and the wire appears to be quite snug on the branches and trunk. I'm no expert but this looks pretty good.

Amazing how a bit of wire can completely change a tree. I'll leave to others more expert than me to comment on style, but for a first wiring its great work!

Nice. To improve ot further i would keep the bend in the rigght branch continuing on to the secondary branches so they look like theare weighed down at the ends. Chevk put some picrures of mature figs and see the pendulous branches on them
