My mini apple tree is super bent since ive had it and wont straighten ive had to do this to it it looks a mess but I cant get it any straighter without damaging it.
Its growing like almost an s shape it goes one way then the other. Is there a way to sort it to get it to stand without being tied as its bad enough without it bearing fruit.
If it is growing that way, I am guessing it is in the shade for part of the day and it is growing in the direction of the most light. I would move the tree into full sun and face the bent side toward the sun. I would have put the stake a little closer and to where the tree was bending and tied it lower. I don't know if it is flexible enough to do that now. Once the wood hardens it will more or less keep the bend.
