Ok - I have to ask. Why unwind the wire and not cut it off? I know there's a good reason. Secondly why aluminum wire and not copper?

Great tree. The president of our bonsai club was up there last year and took a photo of each tree. When he returned he made a copy of the set for me so I could look at them without having to ask to see his set. Quite a few monsters in the collection. I remember this one in particular. He didn't take any notes so he was unable to give me species info on the ones where you couldn't read the sign. Thanks for clearing the species up for me on this one.
