Until this week I have never had to wire my elm. Pruning did it all. But not quite. I noticed some "uppy" growth tendency and wired the limbs straighter. How long does that old stiff elm wood take to take a "set?"

But you knew that! Regards, Matt __________________ Want to be a seller on bonsaiAUCTIONS? Get authorized today! bonsaiTALK: Over 100,005.36 Megabytes Served this Month!

It takes as long as it takes. When you unwire if your unhappy with the results wire it again..and again..and again if needed.
