[IBC] wiring question
how long does it take a limb to 'set' in its new position? the
trees i have in question are a gingko and a red maple, both young and smallish branches, nothing thicker than a pencil. No way to give you a definitive answer here. It depends on the tree, how fast it is growing, how much you are bending the branches, time of year, etc. One wires, watches to see that the wires don't cut into the branch, removes them if they do, then sometimes immediately re-wires when a branch's "memory" springs it back to its starting point. At other times, a branch returns to its previous position verrrry slooolly so it surprises you. I don't have any gingko, so can't help with it. The maple branch may take a while (depending on all of the above). Since maple is a smooth-barked tree, you have to be especially careful about wire marks.
