Look at this unit of wire!! I was so excited to get this new wire in the mail. I had previously only had 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 mm wire. It was sufficient for thinner branches, but I needed some more power if I had any chance of wiring my hollies. I follow “Adam’s Art and Bonsai Blog,” and I have acquired a wealth of knowledge from his blog. One tidbit was about this thick wire! I had to search much harder to find this wire, but I found this 4.5 mm dark brown aluminum wire that was great. It is, of course, much harder to bend than thinner wire and I cannot achieve quite as nuanced structure with it, but that’s okay. Catch this wire being integrated in my children!
