In general, when wiring a thin branch for a shimpaku juniper, how long does it take for the shape to be fixed, so it will retain its shape after removing wire? A few months? How to tell before removing the wire?

Keep an eye on them to be sure that the wire doesn't cut in too much. John __________________ "Wiring is simple; However, it is not easy to do it right" Boon
