Subject: [IBC] Copper wire


I have read some where not to use copper wire on a cherry tree. Has any
one
else heard of this? If so what is the reson for not using copper? I have
just
aquired a flowering cherry and want to do some wiring on it but , the
copper
wire thing is in the back of my mind.
Thanks
