you have to train it up ... to allow it to cascade down ...

very hard to explain what to do.. not standing there .... and literally showing you ....

but you need to find the longest.. softest branch.. that can be pulled vertical ... so that it takes over vertical dominance .... no need to go all anal on going perfectly upright and crack it off.. been there.. done that .. lol ...

you pull it up.. attach it to a stake.. and do understand... if it takes all year .. you just keep working retying it more vertical ...

does that make any sense ....

i got my plain old pendula to about 6 feet.. then let it do its own thing ... mostly.. because that about the tallest stake i could get ...

is that your wellhead??? ....

Thanks, Ken. What you're seeing is actually the cover to my septic tank, with the mound being another 30' or so away.

I didn't realize I had to stake it. I really don't want to get into that tedium (another reason I'll never have a great garden), and I'm wondering how this an improvement over 'Pendula'? Does 'Angel Falls' also need to be staked?

Ha ha

'Waterfall not included, must be constructed by purchaser'

I really don't want to get into that tedium

==>>> usually takes me longer to find the stake in the barn .. than it does to tie it up

I reserve staking for trees I plant off kilter.
