Instagram post 2223176065613785722_548387826 This big Foemina Juniper stands 114cm tall and is sharp! It’s been given a clean up over 3 days off and on just in time for this weekend’s Juniper Training Course. It was originally purchased as a needle juniper or Tosho but it also grows a scale foliage which I deliberately remove when pruning. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #juniperbonsai #tosho #bonsaifromaustralia #australianbonsaicrew #foeminajuniper #bonsaistuffpodcast
Instagram post 2219565580771276674_548387826 It’s been a long weekend of work on this Juniperus Chinensis starting with pruning, then cleaning off the old bark, pressure cleaning the deadwood, lime sulphur on the deadwood, finishing with wiring and styling. The live vein is really swelling nicely. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #bonsaifromaustralia #australianbonsaicrew #juniperbonsai #juniperuschinensis
Instagram post 2211309513247453273_548387826 2019 was a great year and 2020 is looking even better! Happy New Year and I honestly wish everyone well with their personal bonsai journey. May your buds sprout, roots grow and trunks thicken. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #bonsainewyear #bonsaifromaustralia #australianbonsaicrew #2020 #bonsaistuffpodcast
Instagram post 2200128497489022392_548387826 Satsuki "Rukizon" Kazan after having flowers removed and pruned/wired. This is a really special tree to me and was from the collection of a late friend. Every time I look at it, it brings a smile to my face. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #bonsaifromaustralia #satsuki #kazan #australianbonsaicrew
Instagram post 2198346131980473813_548387826 Japanese Black Pine ‘Mikawa’ after Summer decandling which took nearly 3 hours. 45cm tall and great ramification. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #bonsaifromaustralia #japaneseblackpine #decandling #australianbonsaicrew #kuromatsu #pinusthunbergii
Instagram post 2195022702879452651_548387826 A nice Japanese Black Pine after having the spring candles removed. The process of decandling is important for refined Black Pines. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #bonsaifromaustralia #australianbonsaicrew #japaneseblackpine #decandling #pinusthunbergii

Instagram post 2194065848892570917_548387826 It’s the start of Japanese Black Pine decandling season here in Melbourne, Australia and I’ve put together a short video on the process on my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bz8n9V2kHNs #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #japaneseblackpine #bonsaidecandling #decandling #bonsaifromaustralia #australianbonsaicrew
Instagram post 2192138827912214300_548387826 Radiata or Monterey Pine yamadori. There’s really something special about this one and it has a feel that makes me smile. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #bonsaifromaustralia #radiatapine #montereypine #australianbonsaicrew
Instagram post 2191946917893529843_548387826 Radiata or Monterey Pine after a post Spring growth clean up. The bark and character of the Radiatas really appeals to me and they’ve got a really nice smell to them when you’re pruning away. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #radiatapine #montereypine #bonsaifromaustralia #australianbonsaicrew #pinebonsai
Instagram post 2179083355340789684_548387826 Radiata or Monterey Pine yamadori. It was compressed a few years ago and then just allowed to grow and increase in strength. There’s a before showing how dense it had become. The deadwood is aging really nicely. As part of the work the deadwood was given a pressure clean too. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #montereypine #radiatapine #australianbonsaicrew #shari #bonsaifromaustralia
Instagram post 2175429673873122143_548387826 Melaleuca virens or Mountain Bottlebrush with its first potting after being collected in Tasmania (a few years ago) into a natural granite stone pot. It has a beautiful small leaf, yellow/green bottlebrush flowers and amazing paper bark. The stone really compliments this old yamadori thanks to @the_crooked_trunk ! While the tree is a bit shaggy at the moment I don’t mind at all. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #australiannativebonsai #melaleucavirens #bonsaifromaustralia #bottlebrush #yamadori #australianbonsaicrew
Instagram post 2174708774048013878_548387826 This is a meaty English Elm, Ulmus procera and it was my last tree to pop this Spring. It was well worth the wait. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #bonsaifromaustralia #englishelm #Ulmusprocera #australianbonsaicrew
Instagram post 2173681610758329366_548387826 This beautiful Australian native, Melaleuca ericifolia had been recently repotted into a carved stone pot thanks to @the_crooked_trunk. The natural stone really adds another dimension to the tree and it looks great from every angle. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #bonsaifromaustralia #melaleuca #australiannativebonsai #australianbonsaicrew
Instagram post 2169515182757025071_548387826 This is a beautiful Australian native, the Prickly Paperbark or Melaleuca styphelioides, which has just been repotted and stands at 118cm tall. It has the most magnificent bark as it ages. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #bonsaifromaustralia #pricklypaperbark #melaleucastyphelioides #australiannativebonsai #australianbonsaicrew
Instagram post 2167916772291563264_548387826 Here’s a Ficus benghalensis or Banyan Fig getting a pre-Summer prune, clean up and light wiring. An hours work smashed into 53 seconds! This is a vigorous tree that had started to get too long and leggy and needs to be pushed back a little. Also some of the branching had become too thick and needed to be removed. All part of the development cycle and it will now back bud like crazy as we head into much warmer weather in Melbourne, Australia. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #bonsaifromaustralia #ficusbonsai #banyanfig #ficusbenghalensis #australianbonsaicrew
Instagram post 2163152551439832786_548387826 What a great bonsai day! Starting with brilliant group of bonsai enthusiasts. Then onto some native repotting work. I never cease to be impressed at the caliber of people that develop a love for little trees in pots. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #bonsaitraining #japanesemaple #chineseelm #bonsaifromaustralia #australianbonsaicrew
Instagram post 2161319156451716535_548387826 One of the amazing things about bonsai is the longevity of the trees and that they can pass through many hands along their journey. I believe this European Hornbeam, Carpinus betulus, originally started with @ledanta and after passing to others ended up with me and part of my collection. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #bonsaifromaustralia #hornbeam #europeanhornbeambonsai #carpinusbetulus #australianbonsaicrew
Instagram post 2155671810925866399_548387826 The shirt for US! The Australian Bonsai Crew. I’ve been working on this design for a while and it’s finally in production and looks great.

Some flowers have started to drop and it’s time for their removal. Energy into new growth not seed production. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #bonsaifromaustralia #kurumeazalea #kurumebonsai

            Episode 12 - Summer Fun
            by Bonsai Matsu - Scott Martin

            In this jam packed podcast I discuss decandling Japanese Black Pines, Defoliation when to and when not to, Summer watering and protection for your bonsai as well as the need to do a health assessment before doing anything. I also talk about how I develop young stock and what my thought process is. Having things go wrong is bonsai happens, just try not to get disheartened. I talk about what happened to me and how I 'got over it'. And to finish, we talk about Australian natives as bonsai and just how good they are. Enjoy and thanks for listening.
