Ive all ways wire shoots as soon as i can i hate to wait :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: it can be tricky an at first you may snap the odd one :palm: . But when you get to know different trees you soon know what you can get away with :shifty: :shifty: 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 :tu: .
Another good thing with wiring young is the branch will hold its shape in 1-2 weeks you could save a heap of time ill be starting ramification of the branch soon will update work on this new shoot every week :tu:

What are you feeding your trees down there mate? my olives have put on about 6 cm's growth since i got them from you months ago and the dynamic lifter has had no immediate effect.
