In the spring of 96 I gave the tree a bonsai pot. I now intended to apply a clip and growth method to increase the twigginess but I had a lot of problems with various pests and instead many small twigs died. I had no problems getting rid of the pests but they kept coming back during the unusually hot summer.
I do not like the aerial root in the back to the left and I tried to build up with soil around the roots to mask the problem.
