In this photo from April 95 it is easy to see the turnbuckle that I employed to bend the angular branch out and away from the center of the tree. Also, it is clear that the ramification has increased and that the tree is in good shape.
This is where problems started. I exhibited the tree at the annual meeting of the German Bonsai Society in Wilhelmshaven in mid May. Unfortunately, the spring had been cold and the leaves were not fully hardened, which made it tough for the tree in the dry exhibition hall.
