In the spring of 94, the tree got a relatively large bonsai pot. The tree still needs support, but instead of the hidden rock, I now introduced a "rock" from Holmenkollen in Norway. I tried to wrap some small roots around the rock.
The photo is from the autumn of 94. The tree is obviously healthy and grows well. The big branch high up on the left is too strong. My intended design does not allow for it to be removed, so I will lower it with pull down wires.
The clamp caused quite a lot of damage to the bark, but at least the bend became a little softer.
