Seedling
I’m new to wiring, I’ll say that up front, and this is my first experience with pure copper. I want to use it on a Juniperus procumbens 'Nana' with a nice cascading branch. I got about one and a half turns around the trunk without too much issue, but then no luck. All the wiggling and fighting with it led to the wire messing up the bark in an ugly way. I think I need a thinner gauge for the branch in question, but this was the closest to correct they had in stock at the time. Anyway, if hardware store wire says it’s annealed but it’s giving me this much grief…does it need to be annealed again? I admit I am not very strong—I just don’t have experience with how much strength is needed either.
