In April 92, just before this picture was taken, I repotted into the bonsai pot where the trees still reside. It really was uncomplicated work, but I wanted to bring the trees close together, and at the time, it felt like a brutal and risky operation.

In May I thinned out the top of the main tree by completely cutting of all new candles. Thanks to a warm summer they were quickly replaced by new growth that had time to fully develop during the remainder of the growing season.

After some general thinning out and shortening of some twigs, the trees participated in their first show at Liseberg, a large amusement park, in the late autumn of the same year.
