Re: advice
You could wire the Main stem to get movement in it while growing on. I assume this is what you are in tending as it is in a Poly Box

Re: advice
Leptospermum get rigid very quickly so if you need to wire you should do it now. Later it is likely to be unbendable. Take care when bending - A number of the natives I have worked on are very brittle and snap with just the smallest bend. Cut and grow may be better for shaping.
