Re: cedrus libani--where to go
Cedars are difficult to train because branches tend to relax to their original shape some months after the wire is removed.
For best results, you will need to leave the wire on a long time, so wire just a bit less tightly than you otherwise might. Copper wire is also the preferred because of its holding power. You might also make a couple of long cuts along the branch on the underside or back of the branch before wiring. That will help create some scar tissue that will help hold the branch in place. I think there was some care info at BCI Species Index Regards,
