What is wrong with you, Adam.

Didn't you read my posting or see the links on espalier?

If you have my postings blocked, you are a supreme idiot, Adam.

When you want plants to grow vertically you stake them, right? So
what
do you do with a trailing plant that keeps curving upwards? I have a
trailing Million Bells, but all of the branches curve upwards towards
the
sun. I don't want to cut them all off or I'll have a stump for the
first
half of the summer. Is there something else I can do to train them
downwards?

Thanks,
Adam

I have some cantalope vines trying to have a close relationship with
my tomatoes. With hangers, pliers, and wire cutters, i cut off pieces
of the wire, bent it, and staked the vines to the ground where i
wanted them.

I think I may go out and buy some low guage green bonsai wire and shape
the
plants downward. If I take the wire off eventually, will the plant retain
it's shape or return to it's old habit?
