Hello

I'm new to bonsai and have recently shaped a couple of Chinese junipers using galvanised wire from a garden centre. I've now read that this is a big no no as it could poison the trees. Is this fact or fiction?

Thanks in advance

This is quoting AUK from this tread
"Galvanized steel will also corrode and release high levels of zinc into the soil. Plastic covered steel is Ok but it is very springy in smaller callipers and does not hold the tree so well, it also has a tendency to break. Thicker sizes are very stiff and hard to twist together"

It is fiction.
