[IBC] Annealed Copper Wire
"rschmitt23" wrote Alan: I try to avoid wiring with gages larger than 10. I find that I lose the "feel" needed to do a proper wiring job. If the branch is really stiff, I've used several methods: double windings of 10 ga copper wire; branch benders; and rigging. Occasionally I've used a combination of these methods on a branch. I still haven't harvested this wire.. but I'm going to try it on some tough old 2 year Ficus that will be really hard to bend at this point. Today, I trimmed one of them. I decided to go for Broom style although I'm leaving some criss-cross branches in there. Once the thing bushes, the interior will be invisible anyway. The trunk has about a dozen air roots that have successfully reached the ground and are rapidly thickening. This happened while the plants were on the pool deck, where things get dried out more than usual. Once I get my 'misting areas' completed, I hope to encourage a large batch of Ficus Bonsai with 50 roots each. I'm in the Florida Keys. -- best regards, Ra http://surfpick.com ---------------------------------------------------- |
