Reusable option for attaching branches to Xmas tree

Wooden Xmas treeWooden Xmas tree

We obtained a custom made Xmas tree that uses various red gum branches.  Each of these branches are attached via screws to each other and the main trunk.  Whilst this worked for this year as its wood we don't expect the screws will hold up year after year.  We're looking for advice on what type of bracket may be useful for this purpose?  Our alternative is to consider square lashing and relive our time in Scouting.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions on what type of bracket/s we could use that don't involve repeatedly screwing into the wood?
