Time required to bend Larch branches

[Nishant]

Hello Friends,

I wired quite a few branches this year of newly purchased but a really aged larch ( i reckon it must be 40 years old ). I have no experience with larch and so don't know how long it takes for the branches to take shape. The branches thickness are from say 8mm to 2mm.

Please share your experience on this.

Thanks for your replies.

Regards
Nishant

But for larch dont let the wire stay for to long, because lrch grow realy fast and will let you to ugly scars

It will take several years.
I have taken to minimize fertilizing larch that have been heavily wired to reduce the growth in thicknes, aiming for slower, denser growth.

Oh, such a terrible dilemma.
