I've been very happy with how quick wire bite disappears in junipers. Sadly, my artistic eye needs a lot of help lol! Hope you and yours are well Terry.
Thanks so much Sue. All is well thank you. The artistic eye development, I believe, comes from studying many bonsai trees; how they were created and of course observing trees in nature.
Not true at all. Do not leave your wire on, until it is “considerably” biting into the branch. You do want to leave it on long enough for the branch to set but you do not want wire scars on junipers. The scarring from leaving the wire on too long, will never heal. Take the wire off JUST before it starts to dig in or after it is SLIGHTLY starting to bite. You can always re wire later but you can never fix the damage that leaving wire on too long, could cause. Regardless, I love Terry’s work. I think he’s truly mastered his craft and I love learning from this channel.
