Wiring very young shoots can save time
Ive all ways wire shoots as soon as i can i hate to wait
it can be tricky an at first you may snap the odd one
. But when you get to know different trees you soon know what you can get away with
below is a picture of a shoot i wired yesterday its about 10 days old an growing fast the other picture is another i started 35 days ago
.
