    Season 2 Episode 8 – The Japanese Pine that was my Teacher
    by Bonsai Matsu - Scott Martin

    This episode is raw and exposing. Sometimes the best lessons in life are the ones that are learnt the hardest. So as a snapshot for this podcast, I’d been to Japan in 2012 and returned home to practice the skills I’d been taught. Racing in head strong and focusing on the process and not the impact, I paid the price, well the Japanese Black Pine did unfortunately. I don’t think there has been another tree that has been more beneficial to my development than this bonsai. Taking it to the brink and bringing it back over and over and over has reinforced the need for determined patience and perfect application of good techniques. Any way, this is me, exposed and vulnerable and just like everyone else that love bonsai. Enjoy!

    • Spring is such a special time. Always offering new hope and another step forward with your bonsai plans. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #bonsaifromaustralia #spring #japanesewhitepine #bonsaigarden #bonsaistuffpodcast #australianbonsaicrew
    • Prunus persica or Ornamental Peach that has amazing double white flowers which is exactly why it’s in the collection, for right now. After flowering it will be heavily pruned. It’s just been sprayed for leaf curl too which it’s prone to get. The dead wood was carved last year and still had machine marks so it was worked with a burr and wire brush to make it more natural. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #prunusbonsai #prunuspersica #ornamentalpeach #bonsaifromaustralia #australianbonsaicrew #bonsaistuffpodcast #spring
    • This Japanese Black Pine has been a work in progress for some time now and a bit more of the history can be seen here - https://www.bonsaimatsu.com/projects/black-pine/. I haven’t been happy with the positioning of the tree after the last repot and I really don’t like vertical or horizontal lines especially on an informal styled tree. So I fixed that with this repot. Slight anti-clockwise turn and stronger tilt to the left. Much better and next wiring around decandling time will improve the design. No where near finished but it’s another step in the right direction. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #bonsaifromaustralia #bonsaistuffpodcast
    • European Beech, Fagus sylvatica is always one of my last to open for Spring but it’s one of my favorites. The new foliage is a beautiful green and very delicate. Well worth waiting for. This bonsai is 1070mm tall. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #bonsaifromaustralia #europeanbeechbonsai #fagussylvatica #bonsaistuffpodcast #australianbonsaicrew
    • This Scots Pine has been repotted and had the planting angle changed as well. There’s a short video on YouTube https://youtu.be/-e_aa7alkOA. Make sure you subscribe too as there’s plenty more to come. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #bonsaifromaustralia #bonsairepotting #scotspinebonsai #australianbonsaicrew
    • Cryptomeria japonica stands 96cm tall from my collection. Just given a clean up and old cones removed. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #cryptomeriajaponica #bonsaifromaustralia #bonsaistuffpodcast #australianbonsaicrew
    • Scots Pine repotting via time lapse. The tree was leaned back as well to balance it further. My assistant was a great help too, thanks Jessie! #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #bonsairepotting #bonsaifromaustralia #australianbonsaicrew #scotspinebonsai
    • Repotting and angle change for a Japanese Black Pine. Wish I worked this fast but it’s a time lapse to stop you falling asleep. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #bonsairepotting #bonsaifromaustralia #australianbonsaicrew #japaneseblackpine
    • Another great online demonstration, this one on preparing your bonsai for Spring. Thank you to everyone that tuned in and see you next time!

    • This Golden Zelkova has the most incredible coloured spring foliage. It starts a beautiful, yellow colour and then fades to a darker green as it hardens off. It’s just been given a light clean up and new shoots pruned back to the 2nd or 3rd leaf. This tree is the next one discussed on the Bonsai Stuff podcast too. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #goldenzelkova #zelkovabonsai #bonsaifromaustralia #bonsaistuffpodcast #australianbonsaicrew
    • It’s nice to have the maples back out on the benches after #repotting. Feeling like spring can’t be too far away now. #bonsaimatsu #bonsai #japanesemaplebonsai #tridentmaple #bonsaifromaustralia #australianbonsaicrew #bonsaistuffpodcast
    • As repotting season prepares to come to an end it’s almost time to start thinking about making up fertilizer bags and pinching deciduous! Never stops. This is the latest batch of pines and junipers and I’ve honestly lost count how many trees I’ve repotted. Time in isolation well spent! #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #bonsairepotting #exhausted #bonsaifromaustralia #australianbonsaicrew #japaneseblackpine #bonsaistuffpodcast
