I was given some of this to try, it is good for tying in trees that you are training to espalier forms - it "gives" so doesn't cut into the softer bark, even if you forget to re-do your ties for a year!

Hi-jack alert...
Unlike our schools garden where they tied in the trees with Green Nylon twine and left it this year, under the weight of fruit all the tops have fallen out as the twine had cut through about half of the trunk!
