Busy bonsai weekend! Here’s a few of the trees t Busy bonsai weekend! Here’s a few of the trees that were given a little clean up as well as a group of new bonsai lovers honing their skills and making their very first bonsai. Such an honor to be there from the beginning. The bonsai that were worked on were Melaleuca armillaris, Cotoneaster, Melaleuca pentagona and a Juniper. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #bonsaicourse #bonsaibeginner #bonsaistuffpodcast #juniperbonsai #melaleuca #melaleucabonsai #australiannativebonsai #melaleucaarmillaris #cotoneasterbonsai #melaleucapentagona #bonsaiworkshop #australianbonsai #australiabonsaicrew #bonsaifromaustralia #bonsailove
Another step forward for this Hinoki Cypress. Ther Another step forward for this Hinoki Cypress. There’s a before pic and this one gets quite dense. You need to be careful not to let the foliage extend too far as it can be difficult to manage the reduction. But all in all a brilliant bonsai species. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #australianbonsai #bonsaistuffpodcast #hinoki #hinokicypress #cypress #hinokibonsai #australianbonsaicrew #bonsaifromaustralia #bonsailove

Time for the annual clean up of this huge Foemina Time for the annual clean up of this huge Foemina juniper. As always there was blood and tears but I cherish the time I spend with this extremely sharp beauty. I’ve included an old terrible quality pic I found of the humble beginnings of this bonsai from July 2015. Quite a development in under 10 years. There’s also some progress shots as well as before starting. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #foeminajuniper #foeminajuniperbonsai #juniperbonsai #bonsaistuffpodcast #australianbonsai #australianbonsaicrew #bonsaifromaustralia #needlejuniperbonsai #juniper

I really love the Prickly Paperbark, Melaleuca sty I really love the Prickly Paperbark, Melaleuca styphelioides. Just an iconic Australian native that reminds me of being a kid in metro Melbourne. The vibrancy of the new foliage and delicacy of the structure is just beautiful. I know I say it about a lot of bonsai but this is one of my favorites ❤️. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #australianbonsai #australiannativebonsai #bonsaistuffpodcast #bonsailove #melaleuca #pricklypaperbark #bonsaifromaustralia #melaleucastypheloides
Final Bonsai Intensive for the year! Seems fitting Final Bonsai Intensive for the year! Seems fitting to wrap it up with a Japanese Black Pine session. There was a mixed bag of everything in this weekend, decandling, bending, carving, balancing, styling… What I love most is the confidence and empowerment everyone goes home with at the end of the weekend. Bring on 2025 #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #bonsaiintensive #australianbonsaicrew #bonsaistuffpodcast #bonsaifromaustralia #bonsaiworkshop #japaneseblackpine #pinebonsai #bonsaicarving #kuromatsu
A first for Bonsai Matsu, an immersive intensive t A first for Bonsai Matsu, an immersive intensive training program. Such a great experience and so positive. Aaron from @shirobonsainz refined skills and learnt a heap. Have a scroll through the quality of his work over on a few of the bonsai he worked on during his time in the garden. He even enjoyed some Vegemite on toast! I think more of these sort of longer term study sessions might be available at Bonsai Matsu…#bonsai #bonsaimatsu #australianbonsai #juniperbonsai #maplebonsai #pinebonsai #deciduousbonsai #australiannativebonsai #australianbonsaicrew #bonsaistuffpodcast #bonsaifromaustralia #shirobonsai #bonsaitraining #bonsaicourse #bonsaiworkshop #bonsaiintensive #bonsaistudy

Time has come for Japanese Black Pine decandling. Time has come for Japanese Black Pine decandling. Starting with the big ones and working through to the little ones. Plenty of time to be spent with tweezers and scissors in hand over the next few weeks. There’s a before and after pic which will show the lower branch still has a sacrifice branch as it needs to thicken. #bonsailove #pinebonsai #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #bonsaistuffpodcast #japaneseblackpine #kuromatsu #decandling #mekiri #australianbonsai #australianbonsaicrew #bonsaifromaustralia

Candle cutting and partial defoliation are in full Candle cutting and partial defoliation are in full swing and here are some after and before pics of a few that have been worked recently. A couple of Scots pines, a radiata pine, Japanese Maple and a Turkish Sweetgum. Busy but essential work and it’s not the decandling process, just candle cutting into the new spring growth. It’s nice to get up close and personal with a few of my trees again. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #pinebonsai #scotspinebonsai #radiatapinebonsai #montereypine #pinussylvestris #japanesemaple #maplebonsai #bonsaistuffpodcast #australianbonsai #australianbonsaicrew #bonsaifromaustralia

Some incredible people hosted us and we were made feel very welcome. So many workshops and bonsai over the past few weeks and beautiful Australian natives finishing with some private time on this incredible juniper. Originally styled by Mauro Stemberger a long time ago and I was fortunate enough to finalize the refined design. Thank you to everyone that came along and enjoyed their bonsai time with me ❤️ and I also managed to get up close and personal with a quokka. Until next time Perth and up next is Bunbury! #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #australianbonsaicrew #westcoastbonsaicrew #australianbonsai #bonsaiworkshop #bonsaistuffpodcast #bonsaiontheroad #juniperbonsai #procumbens #procumbensnanajuniper #westernaustralia #bswa #bonsaisocietyofwesternaustralia @bonsaisocietyofwa
