Hi all

I am trying to encourage an apple tree in a certain direction by

There is a copper beach tree nearby to act as the anchor for the

What I need is a knot that can take up slack as I pull hard to
Â* bend the tree.
Anyone understand what I am trying to achieve and suggest the
Â* appropriate knot please?


I've tied 2 of the knots suggested in the distant past when helping
relatives on HGVs or trying single rope caving techniques.


But in the
21st century unless pennies are tight I'd say sod that and buy a heavy
ratchet strap.
