    Season 6 Episode 18 - Setting up Stock for the Future, The Mundane and Building on Mishaps

    Season 6 Episode 18 - Setting up Stock for the Future, The Mundane and Building on Mishaps

    There is one major consideration you must take when working on young stock for the future. I chat about my approach  and offer a few tips to make it a little easier in the long run. Also bonsai isn't always about world class trees being on display, most times it's the mundane tasks we must undertake that really make the difference. Things can and do go wrong and it's what you do with at these times that can make a massive difference to the future of your bonsai and your enjoyment.

    Season 6 Episode 16 - What would I tell a some at the start of their Bonsai Journey?

    Season 6 Episode 16 - What would I tell a some at the start of their Bonsai Journey?

    This podcast follows from a recent question at a demonstration/presentation I made and it really was refreshing to go through the process for myself and I think you'll enjoy it too. It provided reminders for me for how I care for my bonsai now and some thing we all need to focus on. It's never too late.

    Season 6 Episode 15 - Judging Bonsai, Bonsai Demonstrations and Foundation of Good Bonsai

    Season 6 Episode 15 - Judging Bonsai, Bonsai Demonstrations and Foundation of Good Bonsai

    I love meeting bonsai people! And recently I've been meeting a lot, at the Bonsai Open on the Central Coast and then in Sydney. I talk about how I judge a bonsai and what are the components of the trees that combine to make them a winner. I review the Bonsai Open and the great work that was done up there as well as chat about a demonstration for the Sydney City Bonsai Club that was really interesting. And I talk about what is the foundation of all good bonsai in my opinion.

    Season 6 Episode 14 - The Beauty of Bark, Major Bending Protection, Deadwood Approach

    Season 6 Episode 14 - The Beauty of Bark, Major Bending Protection, Deadwood Approach

    How good is bark! It is the one true symbols of age on a tree and it cannot be rushed. I love it and it needs to be protected.  I also outline my process for protection techniques for major bending. Serious bends need serious protection to help the tree thrive after the bend is made. And I also cover  my approach to deadwood on bonsai and why I am in no rush. Waiting gives a far superior result.

    Season 6 Episode 13 - Compartmentalisation of Decay, Deciduous Pruning and Wound Management

    Season 6 Episode 13 - Compartmentalisation of Decay, Deciduous Pruning and Wound Management

    CODIT stands for the Compartmentalisation of Decay in Trees and I find it really interesting how this relates to bonsai. It just shows how smart and special trees really are and know this process helps us with wound management and repair. As bonsai lovers we could learn a little from this process too for ourselves... And now is the time (or close to) for deciduous pruning to occur prior to winter dormancy.  I chat about the how and why in this timely reminder.
