Iris: Like wire, you leave the clamp on until the trunk stays at
the desired angle or until you notice the clamp is causing
disfigurement of the bark, whichever comes first.

From:

I just put a 140 deg. bend in the trunk of a double serissa with
a bending
clamp. Trunk is about 3/8 to 1/2" diameter. Tree is under lights
in nursery
soil. Will go outdoors in May. How long do I have to leave the
clamp on?
