Bonsai Wire Scarring - How to Remove Wire to Minimize Damage to Branch

In this video, Jason demonstrates how to remove wire that has grown around the trunk of a tree due to the wire being on the tree for too long. He shows how the wire has affected the branches and trunk on a raw material prostrata juniper bonsai.

He discusses the benefits of uncoiling and unraveling wire from a tree instead of always going straight to cutting off the wire with wire cutters. Hosted by Jason Chan of Eastern Leaf.
