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.

I'm afraid I need a more accurate answer. It was rather tricky to get the
clamp exactly where I wanted it, so I don't want to check it too soon, only to
have to put it on again. I need a ball-park figure of how many months it will
take.
Also, I can't see the bark. It is wrapped in florist's tape to protect it
from the stress. I've learned my lesson from trying to clamp naked trees.
