Galvanised wire???

[angelozoras]

Hi am just asking about wire
Is it and safe to use galvanised wire don't think it's aluminium or copper it's just plain silver?
Has anyone used this wire before ?
Does it rust ?
Does it damage the tree and or branches?
seeking advice
Thanks

Difficult to bend and likely to cause damage, much cheaper and absolutely nobody uses it.
Sometimes you see silver aluminium wire which is fine

[angelozoras]

Damage as in rust ?

[Gerard]

No, the simple process of wrapping this wire around a branch will be likely to damage the bark

Ah ok thanks for your help
