Installation instructions:
- With one hand, cradle your fingers securely under the branch near the crotch, to prevent the limb from snapping off the trunk. Keep it supported throughout installation.
- With the other hand, flex the limb downwards and vigorously draw several large circles in the air with the limb. This will help to limber it up.
- Choose a spreader length that will push the branch close to horizontal (or even below horizontal).
- Orient the spreader so that the "open" face of the "V" channel faces up toward the sky.
- Make sure both sharp ends of the spreader are pressed firmly into the middle of the trunk/limb.
- With proper use the spreaders will not fall out, and they can be kept in place for 2-3 years to establish better branch angles.
