The only thing you can mess up is snapping a branch...but when it's this young is doesn't really happen. But definitely do your research before if you're worried. 🌱👍It's really just as simple as bending the central branch and tying it down, this causes all the secondary branches to become dominant and stretch.

Work slow Prepair strings and holes, before you bend I support main steam 1inch from the soil, than I bend steam the opposite direction Dont use thin rope, it will cut in plant If You break steam or branches. You can fix it with a ducktape but do it quick. (In Next few days it will heal ) One time I use bubblegum and hair wax(it work, but dont use it, they melted few days later, but it works, branch heal)

YES! 1. Most important tip I can give you is take your time when doing this. 2. Pinch and twist the area when you want to bend the branch, doing some research on this. It will strengthen the bend creating a knuckle. Only do this for branches that are medium-large in thickness. For small branches just bend multiple times in the direction you want never force it. 3. Try to create even canopy. 4. Take your time 5. Have fun!
