Hi
Grown quite a few standard straight stem bay trees over the years but would like to try a spiral and twisted stem.
Can anyone advice me the best way to train the stems to get the best look.
Any tips will be great thanks.

I understand it's done by training the stem around a round stake, like a broomhandle.
