I've never had much luck, trees tend to just grow around things like
fences and ropes, including them inside their trunks.

But arent hard to grow the way you want
them too, most obviously with bonsai etc.

If something is growing in a certain direction its probably light related.

Much more often it’s the wind.

Hi all

I am trying to encourage an apple tree in a certain direction by
gradually pulling it over.
There is a copper beach tree nearby to act as the anchor for the
rope tie.

What I need is a knot that can take up slack as I pull hard to
bend the tree.

No, you don't.
What you *need* is O level physics.


Anyone understand what I am trying to achieve and suggest the
appropriate knot please?

Thanks

Phil
