trunk. Copper wire is not as flexible as aluminum wire and can be work hardened quickly. But precisely because of the holding strength, it is great when you try to bend the trunk into new positions, as it will keep shape better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e【Benefits of Annealed Copper】\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe copper is annealed by heating to a temperature that softens the bonsai wire. This process makes the wire easier to bend and hold branches well without requiring a high gauge, as it would happen if you used aluminum wire.. Annealed copper also tends to fade to a dull brown and match the bonsai trunk, so it's not intrusive and more aesthetically pleasing and the viewer can see more of the tree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e【2 Sizes Available】\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepending on your bonsai tree needs and the thickness of the branches and trunk you can select different sizes.
