  • Season 8 Episode 16 - What to Do wth Your Bonsa Now, Don't Over Complicate Issues
    May 3 2026

    Contact Scott from Bonsai Matsu

    We are rounding the corner toward Winter and the last stretch of Autumn is a really important time. Understanding your bonsai and their needs right now will have a massive impact on their future development. There are jobs to be done around the yard too, debris removal, weeding, fertilising and we are starting the most important time of the year for our pines. Now bonsai is all about the detail but overcomplicating issues really should be avoided. When something doesn't look correct or there are problems with your trees, I have a really simple approach to identifying the issue. Do not jump to a worst case scenario, it may be much easier than that.

  • Season 8 Episode 15 - The Idea of Perfection, Technique Improvement
    Apr 26 2026

    Contact Scott from Bonsai Matsu

    The idea of the perfect bonsai for each of us is a target we set for our trees, but is perfection the ideal target? Will it just lead to disappointment and dissatisfaction with our bonsai? No. Not if we breakdown the path to perfection into bite size achievable pieces then perfection is the best target. Also practising poor techniques over and over will not lead to improvement. Slowing down, building your skills and techniques is the only way for improvement. Then practice that, correct techniques. It will be almost impossible to have perfect bonsai without having a perfect set of skills.

  • Season 8 Episode 14 - Deciduous Autumn Maintenance
    Apr 19 2026

    Contact Scott from Bonsai Matsu

    Autumn is a very important time for deciduous bonsai and our maintenance program will set them up for a successful Spring and beyond. Tasks like leaf removal, light pruning, gentle wiring and wound management are all on the menu. Positioning takes a high priority right now too, chasing the sun and avoiding the frost. Takes some time to sit back and review your bonsai before they head to winter dormancy and take action.
