Yeah, agressive bending cause i accidentally broke the stem (red box) trying to wrap around it :/ dumb move Wrapped the dented stem with a piece of wood and tape, then some string to counter weight plus a metal support Will the leaves turn up? What can i do to help it

just make sure the stem is attached well, it need to be able to suck water through capillarpower thorugh that break. If you did it wrong your leaves will be lifeless in a few hours, if they still have their structure and dont fold together like a wet noodle its fine. I broke a lot of stems, no problem if a part was still attached. If it were of completly you have to use a lot pressure to get it together and the only pressure you can use then is the plants own weight and you have to stop LST till its back together. I cant see in which direction it broke or how much, but if it just broke halfway, bend it in the direction of the break, so the remaining half is pressuring the break, but be extra careful now. You can bend way more than you do if you do it very slow and next time crush the inside of the stem on places you want to bend. Between your finges without beding like this it will be bendable without breaking.

Dented of broke.If you get a good conection between the 2 stems it should work as its just like grafting 1 branch onto another.Some apple trees have braches of dozens of different varieties that have been stuck on so to say.But,its started floweruing around 10 days ago so you shouldn't try supper cropping,and the plants too small to make any difference.Iv messed about with super cropping doing side by side comparrisons and Iv never seen any improvement.If any its minor.

Looks like you’re super cropping now. Have no choice. She either sinks or swims. Just have to wait and see what she does. You got it supported as well as you can. Just let it be for now.
