It protects the branches and bark during wiring and training, helping you shape with confidence across tree sizes. The raffia blends with bark tones, so it doesn’t distract from the tree’s natural look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoak the raffia in water for 30 minutes, then wind it tightly around the length of the branch.
