6mm, Anodized aluminium wire

By using appropriate wire, the bonsai artist can easily create attractive bends in the branches or trunk of the tree. These bends will remain even after the wire is removed several weeks or months later. Deciduous trees should be wired in late spring through autumn, while evergreens like pines and junipers are best wired in winter. Annealed copper wire is recommended for evergreens due to its strong grip, while anodized aluminium wire is preferred for deciduous trees. Additionally, wire can be used for guy wiring, fixing drainage mesh, and securing newly repotted trees.
