    Season 8 Episode 36 - Early Spring Pruning

    2026/09/20 | 31 mins.
    Contact Scott from Bonsai Matsu
    As a follow on from the Spring Pinching podcast episode, now is a great time to undertake seam early spring pruning before your bonsai starts to allocate resources to growth that is unnecessary for your design. As with most things bonsai the timing is important and now is the right time. Your tree's ability to heal after pruning plays a bit part in the timing. It is also important to review the structure, taper and flow while we have this opportunity.

    Season 8 Episode 35 - Spring Pinching

    2026/09/13 | 32 mins.
    Contact Scott from Bonsai Matsu
    Spring is upon us and one of the techniques we can use to build the ramification on our deciduous bonsai is pinching. It is a really simply and efficient technique and to understand what the process achieves and how will better equip you to make the correct choice to use it or not. As always just because we can do something to our bonsai doesn't mean we should. Let's dig around and talk about things like auxin and internodes and see where it takes us!

    Season 8 Episode 34 - The Bonsai Long Game

    2026/09/06 | 35 mins.
    Contact Scott from Bonsai Matsu
    Spring fills me with excitement about the development opportunities for my bonsai and it is so important at this time of year as the work starts to increase that you focus on the 'long game'. Actions you take now have a ripple effect for many years to come. Having a vision of any kind for the future of your bonsai will help provide focus and guide your actions. It doesn't need to be exact but you need something. Acting now or later can have a consequence so you need to ask yourself, is it for now or for the future?

    Season 8 Episode 32 - The Theory Behind Repotting Timing

    2026/08/23 | 30 mins.
    Contact Scott from Bonsai Matsu
    What is the most appropriate time for repotting your bonsai and why? I was always told when to repot but never why that was the right time. And honestly I think it was something that was just passed down the line without many understanding why. So let's break it down and give you the information you will need to determine the best time for you and your bonsai to be repotted.
