First off Ty for the kind words.
Will stay tied down until chopped. I use stainless wire and I believe its10 or 12 gauge. Doesn't have to be stainless obviously and guage isn't that important per se as long as it's stiff enough to push in the ground. I cut off roughly 12 inches. Bend a hook on one end and shove the other end in the ground. Then use twine to tie around the branch. I run the twine around the branch and tie a double knot about 2 inches from the branch. That way the branch has plenty of room to grow. Wrap the other end around the stake hook and tie it off. Even plants that aren't lst I will use this method to spread the canopy. Gets better air flow and good sunlight penetration. Good at dettering mold and good for growth. You will need duct tape and zip ties. I will zip tie most main branches upward on the main stalk that way you don't break it off at the base or crack it. If you do I wrap with duct tape and then use zip ties to squeeze it together. I'll change most zip ties at some point because of stalk growth.
