I tried hanging, but it was winter and had to do inside...not the greatest that way (worried about someone walking in there, and it was too hot of a room too). What I did like was I used a cardboard box and taped fishing line across it. Then I took the chopped sticks, lol, with no HUGE fans on them and laid them on the line for a few days.....I had a small fan sucking the air out.....Then when they were dry/crunchy to the touch I removed them from the stalks and brown bagged them....till I could squeeze and feel just a bit of moisture left... Finally whatever leaf matter hadn't fallen off I trimmed, then cured the buds.

Matter what your situation is really. I am going to try hanging the whole tree again now that it is warmer out.
