Not all of my bonsai are big and I really love thi Not all of my bonsai are big and I really love this little Corky Bark Chinese Elm. Only 20cm tall and much easier to put back on the benches! #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #australianbonsai #chineseelmbonsai #corkybarkelmbonsai #australianbonsaicrew #bonsaistuffpodcast #bonsaifromaustralia

It’s good to be back in the workshop! This magni It’s good to be back in the workshop! This magnificent Banksia marginata ‘Mini Marg’ is an absolute cracker. The flowers at this time of the year are just beautiful and I love it when they age and seed. If you’re in Melbourne, there is a bonsai show this weekend for the Victorian Native Bonsai Club that is definitely worth a visit. @victoriannativebonsaiclub vicnativebonsai.com.au #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #australiannativebonsai #banksiabonsai #banksiamarginata #minimarg #flowers #australiannativeflowers #australianbonsai #bonsaifromaustralia #australianbonsaicrew
Such a great weekend! Bonsai and friendship doesn’t get much better. Bonsai Horizons in Calamvale QLD is hands down one of the best events I’ve been involved in and I am very proud to have been a demonstrator. The venue, the bonsai and the people were just brilliant. @acsellman smashed it too with demos and packed workshops as well as having one of his trees selected for display. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #australianbonsai #bonsaizhorizons #bonsaishow #bonsaidemo #bonsaiworkshop #bonsaitravels #bonsaidisplay

I’ve been waiting a long time to take this Taxus I’ve been waiting a long time to take this Taxus baccata or Yew to the next step. Today’s work was carving, wiring and basic pruning. There’s a timelapse of the carving. There was some blow torch action as well as lime sulphur application. This will go into a nicer pot this year and has got a great foundation to being a really nice bonsai. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #bonsaistuffpodcast #bonsaicarving #australianbonsaicrew #bonsaifromaustralia #taxusbaccatabonsai #yewbonsai #australianbonsai
This Australian native Kunzea ambigua or Tick Bush This Australian native Kunzea ambigua or Tick Bush is just perfect for bonsai. They have magnificent foliage, develop white flowers and natural deadwood with quite good bark. This was a collected tree. There’s a before pic to show how vigorously they grow also. Another step in the right direction. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #australianbonsai #australiannativebonsai #kunzeabonsai #kunzeaambigua #tickbush #australianbonsaicrew #bonsaistuffpodcast #bonsaifromaustralia
Big Needle Juniper clean up time! This thing is a Big Needle Juniper clean up time! This thing is a very sharp Foemina Juniper and it teaches you very quickly how to work with it (or more importantly how not to handle it). There’s a time lapse showing over 6 hours work to get it back into shape. Only comes in the workshop once a year. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #juniperbonsai #foeminajuniperbonsai #australianbonsai #bonsaistuffpodcast #australianbonsaicrew #juniper #needlejuniperbonsai #bonsaifromaustralia
Nice change from all the junipers at the moment gi Nice change from all the junipers at the moment giving this chunky Olive a little bit of love. Sits edge to edge in the pot and is very strong. The bark was originally smooth when I acquired it as a stump but it’s aging nicely now. Branches still need work but it’s on the path. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #bonsaistuffpodcast #australianbonsai #olivebonsai #oleaeuropaeabonsai #bonsaifromaustralia #australianbonsaicrew

From humble beginnings this Juniperus chinensis st From humble beginnings this Juniperus chinensis started its journey as a bonsai with me in 2011 after being removed from a garden. There’s a development shot in 2016 so you can see how far it has come. Truly a beautiful bonsai. The repetitive application of good technique and bonsai horticultural practices leads to strong healthy bonsai that develop quickly. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #bonsaistuffpodcast #australianbonsai #juniperbonsai #juniperuschinensis #bonsaifromaustralia #australianbonsaicrew #juniper
