My tree has begun covering the wire which I use for sculpting the tree. What can I do about it? I am affraid to damage the tree!

You have to rewire the tree from time to time. Then this problem will not happen.

Make sure to use copperwire. Copper is like poison to the tree, therefore the tree will reject it, and your problem is not likely to reoccur. But I agree with the other answer, you must rewire your plant at least once every 4 month.
