In the middle of August 2000, during the annual exhibition of the Swedish Bonsai Society in Gothenburg, the foliage has filled out again and the tree looks presentable. I need to extend the branches on the top right third.

The root that wraps the rock is slowly gaining some credibility. In a few years, it will get a flaking bark and then it will look more natural. A big flaw is the negative taper, I will try some tricks to fix that. The accent plant is a common Swedish cowberry, Vaccinium vitis-idaea.
