It'll be fine

On another thread I mentioned the little Acer Palmatum Taylor we got last year, how the branches were all growing to one side and several crossing. I tied branches to six different bamboo canes with which I surrounded it. I took took the canes away today and the branches have adopted their new positions.

You'll need to leave the supports for at least six months. You need growth to get it to conform.

As long as they aren't tight, they should be fine.

I'd just give it a drink with some Baby Bio, but I wouldn't over-do it.
