This is what the tree looked like at the time of the exhibition at the annual meeting of the Swedish Bonsai Society in Gothenburg in August 2000. It has been repotted in a nice handmade pot by the German potter Gabriele Wirth. Now I no longer think it looks to great with an accent plant with the same height as the tree. Well, you learn as long as you live!

In the spring, I once again carved out all the shari and jin parts, the tree calluses something incredible. In the coming period, I will concentrate on developing the branches on the right side, one-third from the top.
