  • Episode 11 - Here comes Spring!

    Contact Scott from Bonsai Matsu

    Well Spring is here and I have put together a six step approach to a successful season. I also talk about the "Thin Red Line" of bonsai and what your focus should be. Bonsai life is a good life for all of us and we are all part of a strong, kind community and that is very reassuring and comforting. Oh and now you're part of the Australian Bonsai Crew too! Enjoy.

  • Episode 10 - The Dos and Don'ts of Bonsai

    Contact Scott from Bonsai Matsu

    This podcast focuses on some of my Dos and Don'ts of bonsai. I also focus on how I approach the working and fertilising of my bonsai in Spring always keeping in mind whether it is development or refinement that is my target. This is definitely not about the so called 'rules' of bonsai but more an approach you should consider. And never forget why you started in bonsai in the first place, because you enjoy it and you always should!

  • Episode 9 - Taking the Next Step

    Contact Scott from Bonsai Matsu

    Developing bonsai is like building a house, one brick at a time. I discuss different ways to avoid your development and the development of your bonsai from stagnating. As we head into spring in Melbourne, Australia and the repotting season draws to a close, it is important to stop and smell the roses (or cherry blossoms) too. It's a great time for a fresh start! bonsaimatsu.com

  • Episode 8 - Moving, Always Moving...

    Contact Scott from Bonsai Matsu

    With repotting season in full swing I discuss root health, pots, pot size as well as the soil mix I use. Bonsai is not a static art form and we should embrace that fact. It is also a very personal art that needs to only make one person happy, you! Enjoy the podcast.

  • Episode 6 - Time for Pines

    Contact Scott from Bonsai Matsu

    In this episode I chat about my last month which included a National Bonsai Show focused purely on Australian Natives as bonsai, lots and lots and lots of work on pines, plenty of training courses, workshops and demonstrations. As well as being fortunate enough to have a tree selected to be loaned and on display at our National Collection in Canberra. I also talk with a long term customer and friend, Bayley about his take on bonsai and then look forward to the next month ahead. Enjoy!
