When I did it, I just made some "S" hooks from a wire hanger and then fine-tuned them, as needed. The problem was that the wire started to dig into the branches...or, rather, the branch started to grow around the wire. On this run, I'm not doing any of that stuff.

Thx. I found some with soft contact surfaces. These will make it easier that bending stiff wire.

I put wire around the pots to fix branches to, I put a wire around the branches pull that down under the pot wire and put a bend in it to stop it pulling out

I didn't like the single pot screens but you might?

A roll of wire is my friend, when tying i create an eyelet rather than winding it tight to the stem.

I just use wood skewers and soft wire.

And I don't tie the wire to the branch, just make a hook on the end of the wire. .

This way there is no danger of the branch growing around it...

Day 41 HS 27 Oct.jpg

Later on if I have an Over Achiever I use bamboo poles and a wire hoop at about 30" high, then I tie the tops down to the hoop.

In this case, a Maui Wowie, I had to super crop, tie down to the wire hoop And use string and binder clips to pull the tallest tops into the center ;)

Wow, that's something different! I don't have a clue what you have going on. I thought maybe a clone mother plant but it's in flower or you took branches and planted them ?

Very nice! I've used stiff electrical wire in the past, really an art to it. Are you really aggressive on pruning or is that just the strain re the 6" & 10” pic?
