trident maple #5
Today all the wire got off the tree. I leave the wire on the tree much longer than most folks intentionally. It is OK in the early phase of development if the wire bits in more than just a little. this helps to fix the position of the branches forever and will disappear in the next ten years. So with this one. But on Saturday I have my late summer meeting and hundreds of folks will take a close look and should not see how deep the wire grew into the bark.
