Bonsai wire, aluminium - 2.5 mm

  • Material: aluminium, anodised brown/copper
  • Thickness: 2.5 mm
  • Length: approx. 7.5 m per 100 g
  • Quantities: 100, 250 and 500 g

How to use it

Choose a wire about a third as thick as the branch. Anchor the wire on the trunk or a neighbouring branch and wind it in an even spiral at about 45 degrees along the branch - tight enough to hold, but without pinching the bark. Then bend the branch carefully into place.

Good to know

  • Aluminium is soft and easy to bend, which makes it good for beginners and for deciduous trees.
  • Keep an eye on the wire during the growing season and remove it before it bites into the bark. Cut it into small pieces with a wire cutter instead of unwinding it.
