Originally created for a demonstration for the Bon Originally created for a demonstration for the Bonsai Society of Victoria from raw stock, this Japanese Black Pine is really developing into a nice bonsai. It did suffer for a period as it had very poor roots so after allowing the strength to build, it hasn’t looked back. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #japaneseblackpine #australianbonsai #bonsaistuffpodcast #bonsaifromaustralia #kuromatsu #pinusthunbergii
Autumn colours around the yard. I love this time o Autumn colours around the yard. I love this time of year just before they go to sleep. We’ve got some wet weather coming so I think this’ll be the last chance to see the vibrancy. Enjoy every moment of beauty with your trees. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #autumn #autumncolour #australianbonsai #australianbonsaicrew #bonsaifromaustralia #bonsaistuffpodcast

Time to start working through the pines, bud selec Time to start working through the pines, bud selecting, needle plucking, pruning and styling. Also decide whether sacrifice branches are shortened or removed. Lots to be done and here’s a batch that are heading back out to the bench. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #japaneseblackpine #australianbonsai #bonsaifromaustralia #bonsaistuffpodcast #autumnbonsai #kuromatsu
This large Japanese Black Pine has a long history This large Japanese Black Pine has a long history with me and it’s the bonsai I talk about on the Bonsai Stuff podcast (season 2, ep 8). I’ve allowed it to rest for quite some time now to let it build in strength and back bud. It’s worked too. This pine is developing a really nice presence. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #australianbonsai #australianbonsaicrew #japaneseblackpine #kuromatsu #bonsaistuffpodcast #bonsaifromaustralia
First step taken, well it’s more like the fifth First step taken, well it’s more like the fifth step for this field grown Japanese Black Pine but it’s the first styling. There’s a before to see where it started as well as a little carving work on a low jin. A great little tree with a bright future. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #australianbonsai #japaneseblackpine #jbp #bonsaifromaustralia #kuromatsu #bonsaicarving #bonsaistuffpodcast #bonsaistyling
I’ve just had the pleasure of being the Artist i I’ve just had the pleasure of being the Artist in Residence at the National Bonsai and Penjing Collection of Australia in Canberra. An incredible program of information sharing, learning and getting hands on. I honestly believe our national collection has some of the best bonsai in Australia and is so important to the bonsai community that we should all strive to have trees of a standard to be accepted for display at the NBPCA. Thanks to Leigh @ledanta and Sam @samuelthompsonbonsai for their professionalism and standard of care they provide to the collection as well as their love for Australian bonsai and our bonsai community. The volunteers are next level too and are to be congratulated. If you’re an Australian bonsai artist and get the opportunity to have a go at this program I’d strongly recommend it. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #nationalbonsaiandpenjingcollection #nbpca #bonsaiartist #australianbonsaicrew #australianbonsai #bonsaifromaustralia #bonsaistuffpodcast
The finished product! All wire removed and inner d The finished product! All wire removed and inner dead foliage cleaned out. I really like this needle juniper, as painful as it is to work on. Look out for this one on YouTube soon. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #foeminajuniperbonsai #needlejuniperbonsai #juniperbonsai #bonsaifromaustralia #australianbonsai #bonsaistuffpodcast
Time for the annual prune and clean up for this re Time for the annual prune and clean up for this really large Needle juniper, Foemina Juniper. So far it’s nearly 6 hours solid work but it’s worth it. The needles are very sharp and you learn very quickly how to handle the foliage. Swipe through there’s some progress shots and a before pic. There is still a little more work to do removing wire and I will use a compressor to blow the pads. It grows so densely that there is inevitable dieback on the inner areas so this work of pruning and opening the foliage is essential. This is the next one for the Bonsai Matsu YouTube channel too. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #foeminajuniper #needlejuniperbonsai #toshobonsai #australianbonsai #bonsaifromaustralia #bonsaistuffpodcast

I have seen them not managed as well as I think they possibly could be and I have a method and timing for candle cutting (not decandling). Swipe through and you’ll see the results of the new budding without causing juvenile growth, all set ready for Spring. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #radiatapine #montereypine #bonsaifromaustralia #australianbonsai #radiatapinebonsai #bonsaistuffpodcast
