After the snow this winter, some of the branches on our conifers have
splayed out. They look very unsightly so I want to tie them back in.
Can anyone what I should to use and any other advice. I presume string
is no good. Thanks.-

What kind of conifer?



Well, it's green and about 12ft at the moment! I can't imagine that it
will fix itself.


I meant: Is it an Italian cypress, red cedar, deodar cedar, fir, Aleppo
pine, podocarpus, arborvitae, blue spruce, juniper, etc, etc?

Sorry it's taken a while, but here's a photo of said conifer. I have tied up the splayed branches with some twine I happened to have. Before that, about 4ft above ground on the right, some branches were splayed out about 90 degrees.
