Styled the other day by the chairman of my local club. It's certainly opened up a bit

Nice bark on lower trunk. Do 2 0r 3 bottom branches grow from same whorl? Please add your location to profile for better help.

Yes threes branches grow from the same whorl (was 4!)

 

[rokr]

how long should i expect to leave the wire on to make the branches hold their set position?

Dear Bloodwar,
I think you'd be better off starting your own thread if you want to talk about your tree. I don't think rokr's tree looks the same,

I was just wondering what type of tree it is

Second this. Please add personal location to profile for better help and close up pics of your tree. How many needles in each bunch?

Normally if hoping to show tree in future should not have more than one branch from one whorl but have heard that "maybe" 2 is OK if one is back branch. Also should never be on inside of bend. Personally try to never have any of these on my trees as cannot get past unhappy feeling living with any of these.

Go to personal profile. Go down to "location" and type in. Should appear next to avatar.

Eastern White Pine.
Not so good for bonsai.
