I have enjoyed all of your threads showcasing your Japanese Maples, Walter - thank you for taking the time to photograph them all and for posting on here.
I have noticed on these pictures, and others, that you use a lot of guy wires; is this because the branches of the imported tree are too thick to bend in one go with wire? Do you have to use guy wires and just inch the branches down over a period of time? How long would this take to do? Are there some Maples that this will not work with?
Many thanks
Andy
