Gonna need to research this cuz I don't have a clue. What I mean to say is I looked into "Topping" & "Evening Out" it's no big. "Tying Down Branches"...???? "Pinching" I think I can grasp...."Twisting"....This stuff is kinda advanced for me. Hey... I APPRECIATE ALL THAT YOU & Pushit have done thus far!!!!

A word:
Judging from the newest pics (Post tie down) Do you think that I could pinch off some of the branches to "even out the canopy". I'm a little hesitant in doing this cuz I think the branches may snap. I viewed a bunch of vids on Youtube & they make it look like childs play!!
Up to you. Maybe try it out on just one
That's a big azz 1.... Like a main branch! That's all I could pinch off... correct? Could you shoot over some pics on your trees. If you could take a close shot where you pinched it off. If not I understand. All of my "colas"... (& I use this term cautiously because I'm not even sure they are) are looking good? It's kind of a statement/question rolled up into one. Are they in fact "colas"? Btw, I dig this online holiday chatter...
-Did you pinch or pinch it off, kinda confused.
All the branches are going to be your colas. just do some easy tieing to get the branch-tops even and parallel with the floor. (or as close as possible before flip)
-From the pic, they are still close to the main stem.
Ill try to get a pic later. Mines stretched a little bit more, maybe halfway to catchin the top.
I didn't pinch anything off to date. Just tied down a lot of the colas. Gonna send some better shots as well so you can see what I'm trying to convey. Again, new to the scene but am a quick learner.
So have a peek & let me know

looks good. Dont worry about gettin every branch to the top, you're gonna cut the ones that dont make it.
