I hear a lot about branch wiring. I also hear a lot about the 'rule of thumb'. That if a branch is x thirds the thickness of the wire then it is OK to use it. No being terrific at maths due to a slight learning issue is there any other method I could use to judge whether a wire is thick enough for the branch? I have a loads of 2mm wire in a roll if that is of any help

Any help would be brilliant.

No need to post the same question twice..

There was a problem my end processing/submitting the thread and for some reason I double posted it.

Can someone delete this thread please?

Thanks for that. I have signed up and enrolled. I am learning so much from it already.

If you still haven't seen it you can also scratch some info about wiring within this site. Here it goes:



Hope it might help you

Oh mate, it is ALL helping me enormously. I can't thank everyone enough for the help. You can never find enough to learn from. The more the merrier. Both video and text based learning is vital. The technique of getting the wire at 45 degrees on every turn and doing it at speed is something I suspect that will come with time and is something I can only learn from by doing it. You could grow a tree from seed and see it mature in the time it would probably take me to finish a branch! Ha-ha-ha! I am sure I will get there if I do it enough times.

Hi guys,

I wanted to reuse this topic to post a wiring related question instead of opening a new thread. It is a simple question but taking an in-depth approach I realized that I didn?t know the exact answer. So, I wired my mugo pine las October and I wanted to know how long should I keep the wires to keep its branches in place?

I mean, as a general rule, in young pines and relatively thin branches how much time would it take (approximately) before the wire might start carving into the wood and could actually keep the branches into position once it?s removed? Oh, and even if I know you have already seen my pine before I?m posting it here again for graphic aid .
