Default 1mm galvanized wire suitable for training espalier-styled fruit trees?

Hi,
I'm starting my first attempt at training fruit trees on a long wall,
espalier style. Is 1mm galvanized wire suitable for the training wires?
I'm guessing that galvanized wire probably lasts longer than
non-galvanized, plastic coated wire...


The last is debatable, but no. You really want 2-2.5mm, but 1.6mm
will last quite a long time.
