I have read contradictory advice on when to wire larch. One book I
have suggests to wire a few weeks after they have leafed out because
the bark is extremely sensitive and it might damage.

A couple of bonsai websites suggest wiring BEFORE the needles are out
because they are easier to wire at that time.

What is the general consensus here? My larch are just breaking bud.
Wire now or wait a few weeks?

I wired my larch before it budded, and then read that doing so could
damage the cambium and kill it. D'oh! But I put some pretty hefty
bends in mine and it's doing just fine.
