They tell me this copper is for electric installation. Plus they measure in "gauge" not in "mm". Can you please help me? How do I search or buy wire?
Please help me this is my big dilemma. Also, What size wire do I need?

Here is my tree (Juniperus x Media 'Lemon Hill')

this is tachigi (Tom Brown) from our site here.
He has every size you would need and his prices are fair.
