每日吃瓜

Hello everyone I am completely new to this and did my first attempt at wiring and pruning. I know I probably butchered it but any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I don’t want to move it too much more. I think I will leave this for about a year or right before it cuts into the trunk. I would love ideas for wiring the branches and wire size. I am thinking of doing a main amount on the left side and then the apex. Let me know!

NOt bead, but I think you can do better!



What type of wire did you use?
The reason I am asking: You see how the wire has come away from the branch at places? This is -in part- the result of you making lazy loops. If you make more turns around the branch the wire is more effective (In the end, you want to keep the wire at a 45-60 degree angle to the branch; This would mean probably twice as many turns as what you have done so far.).

I would not move things around for now. Wiring and bending creates a lot of cracks in the plant. Every time you work it, you damage more. You are just beginning and are therefor less gentle than someone with a lot of experience where the muscles "know" what to do: Let the tree work on healing the damage done so far.
