I just acquired my first couple of Larches, still very young not much older and larger than a whip (they have a number of branches). I knew about how flexible Larch are so I did some pretty twisty wiring to take advantage of their young age and bendiness.
I don't doubt that if they grow well this spring heading into summer that the wire could start to cut in before too long. But what I'm not sure about is how long I should leave the wire on to ensure they at least mostly retain their new shapes. I imagine nothing will really lignify for some time yet.
