What’s a good aluminum wire gauge for making those bendy t shape things to hold the mesh squares down and tying trees down?
thanks

1.5 to 2 to 2.5

bigger trees need thicker wire.

I use 1.5 for almost all developing trees up to mid size, 2.0 and 2.5 for heavier or larger trees. Some collected larger trees with challenging rootballs may require larger gauge or even a wood support to block in correct position. ( grow Boxes)
