  • Season 7 Episode 40 - Compartmentalisation for Us and Our Bonsai, Working Deadwood
    2025/10/12

    Contact Scott from Bonsai Matsu

    Trees have a fantastic approach to damage and the greater good of the tree. They can lock away 'issues' and move on. It's not a bad approach we could use too when things go wrong. Deadwood on bonsai is beautiful and I discuss my approach to working on it and when. As we hit the midway point in Spring there are lots of jobs to be undertaken with our bonsai and I run through my current checklist.

  • Season 7 Episode 39 - Emergency Action Plan for Early Spring Issues
    2025/10/05

    Contact Scott from Bonsai Matsu

    Early Spring is a magnificent time especially for bonsai however things don't always go to plan and about now you might find there are issues or concerns with the new fresh foliage on your bonsai. What should you do? What's causing the problem? I run through some practical steps I use to help work through these issues. What do you do if you are seeing problems or a lack of vigour for a bonsai that should have been repotted but it wasn't? I have a technique which if you apply it correctly and early enough will help your bonsai increase it's strength and will certainly help with Summer just around the corner.

  • Season 7 Episode 37 - Deciduous Development Part Three
    2025/09/21

    Contact Scott from Bonsai Matsu

    Your repotting strategy for Deciduous Bonsai development is extremely important and this will vary based on your objectives and the stage of development the tree is in. I discuss field or ground growing, grow pots, transition pots and also bonsai pots. Each correlates to a different objective and the frequency of the repotting that is undertaken.

  • Season 7 Episode 36 - Deciduous Development Part Two
    2025/09/14

    Contact Scott from Bonsai Matsu

    Successfully developing your deciduous bonsai requires strategy and an understanding of exactly where in the stages of development your bonsai is. Fertilising is a key tool we can use (or hold back) to allow your bonsai to achieve a higher level. I chat about my approach for various stages and my thoughts as to why, how much and when I fertilise. Wound management is extremely important for deciduous (and all) bonsai as their wood is not designed to last forever. My approach is simple and consistent.

  • Season 7 Episode 35 - Deciduous Bonsai Development Part One
    2025/09/07

    Contact Scott from Bonsai Matsu

    Deciduous bonsai are just beautiful and it requires a mindset and certain process to develop them accordingly. It is easy to apply techniques we all hear about but is it the right thing to do? I consider the health and stage of development then build a plan before applying any process to the bonsai. When should you pinch? When is it Grow/Cut? What about sacrifices? If you want to develop your deciduous bonsai then this is the podcast for you!

  • Season 7 Episode 34 - Repotting Wrap Up and the Lessons, Early Spring Work
    2025/08/31

    Contact Scott from Bonsai Matsu

    Welcome to Spring and with that comes the close of the repotting season for me (well nearly the close) so I like to look back and reflect on what I've learnt and discovered of the repotting season. From tested tie ins due to late winter storms to hand cleaner. Doing it right now for future benefit is the name of the game. Plus now Spring has arrived we need to get moving on our early Spring tasks.

  • Season 7 Episode 33 - The Story of a European Beech and the Forced Redesign
    2025/08/24

    Contact Scott from Bonsai Matsu

    Sometimes when tragedy occurs it is an opportunity for improvement and that was the case with my large European Beech. A few years ago the bonsai was hit by a falling branch in the garden. Part of the apex was ripped off and the upper section of the trunk was bruised. Have a listen to the tale of heartbreak that lead to the chance to build a better bonsai the was two years in the making. Yet another forced redesign.
