Swedish Aspen limb tie up?

[canadianclimber]

Just looking to see what other use to tie up Swedish aspens or similar trees. I tyically use hemp string/twine as it's hidden and will eventually break and not girdle the tree if forgotten about. Typically by then the limb is now growing in the right direction. I find the arbor tie (green/brown webbing) bulky and overkill. Clients are asking for less obtrusive options as well.

As well I try to intertwine the branches back up.

FYI I really hate trying to maintain theses trees.

I just prune to get it tucked in, no tying for me.

I try to do that as much as I can as well. Sometimes it just causes too much of a gap if i prune out.

Although one pruning cut a couple inches off the ground would be ideal 😂
