Love or hate the deadwood on this Japanese Black Pine, at least it makes you look. I love it! Looks like a deer. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #bonsaistuffpodcast #japaneseblackpine #kuromatsu #pinusthunbergii #australianbonsai #bonsaifromaustralia #australianbo… https://t.co/o7836P1d7M

One of my Japanese Maple, Acer palmatum with some Autumn colour. This was originally an air layer. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #japanesemaplebonsai #acerpalmatum #autumn #fall #australianbonsaicrew #australianbonsai #bonsaifromaustralia #bonsaistuffpodcast https://t.co/WJOIqnm1eB

One of my Camellia japonica which has two different coloured flowers that randomly appear. Always makes me smile and we have had quite some rain lately so it’s not looking as good as I had hoped. Still it’s a lovely bonsai. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #bonsaist… https://t.co/K3nS4Jxti4

What a brilliant trip to Adelaide for some time with the South Australian Bonsai Society. 4 full workshops, a bunch of private work and jam packed club demonstration all in 5 days! Such a great bunch, great trees and a beautiful location. Loved every sec… https://t.co/9lTCBitMvi

This Trident Maple was an air layer. Swipe through to see the roots now. Nice and strong. You’ll see there were a few branch extensions that were used for vigor and branch thickening. They were removed and it was repotted. I made a video repotting this t… https://t.co/blBnuC71R9

[Scott Martin @bonsaimatsu]

Repotting is like a fresh start for your bonsai, which is similar for me with today being the first day being a full time bonsai professional. This Japanese Maple had almost every branch thread grafted about 6 years ago. There are still a few sacrifice b… https://t.co/e3Lcl5o2gu

Some of the shohin Japanese Black Pines with a pair of scissors for reference. The smaller they are the harder it gets to manage branch and needle length. Well worth the effort. #bonsai #bonsaimatsu #shohinbonsai #japaneseblackpine #australianbonsai #bon… https://t.co/tbUHwxObvP
