I normally give a twist more ( if needed ) every week
in may the bark and cambium might split and kill the serissa, so
better avoid to force this month

Like wire, you leave the clamp on until the trunk stays at the

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.

I'm a rank beginner and don't know the answer to your question.
However,it does seem to me that you should be able to back off on the
screw a few turns and see if the trunk is starting to straighten out
without taking the bender all the way off.
