Hello,
I understand that the general guideline is to use annealed copper wire for conifers and aluminum wire for deciduous trees. However, I've noticed some people exclusively use copper, even for deciduous varieties, while others avoid it altogether.

What do you prefer? Do you use annealed copper, aluminum, or something else?

I mostly use aluminum for deciduous because it’s easier to adjust and less likely to mark bark. Copper is great for conifers or when you need stronger hold, but do you find it worth the extra rigidity for deciduous work??
