I tend to be of the "does it work" variety...

Tropicals grow really fast in the tropics, and I tend to use tie downs wherever possible. It does look nice when you wire up a whole branch but when you realise that because of growth you will have to take the whole thing off in three weeks or risk scarring it can really be alot of work.

From the display point of view... if you are displaying the tree it shouldn't have wires on it.

IMHO anyway.
