the Austrian black pine that thinks it is a ponderosa - part 5
Then black tape instead of raffia around it twice. It does exactly the same job a s raffia, is easier to apply and is just as ugly or slightly less. And then very thick wire around it twice. Now very drastic bending is very possible. Should the branch decide it does not want to cooperate eventually then so what - I was about to totally cut it off anyway. But I think it will work and the branch will stay alive.
