AusBonsai

Been awhile since I posted anything and since it was cooler and raining at my place yestaday I thought id do some long overdue bonsai work. This time of year the trees pretty much live under shade cloth and the auto watering system dumps twice a day on them . apart from making sure the watering is working I haven't touched a tree for 2 months . Here is what some are looking like as of yestaday.
shohin willow leaf that was at the national bonsai collection last year airlayed shohin chinese elm separated 2 years now

Im speachless omg @^@

some more.........

my in progression area . a few nice ones here a few years off. im excited about the large Japanese maple on the right trunk currently at 140mm has a large sacrifice branch at the back.hoping I don't get too much die back when time to come off. a potential little chinese elm I airelayed last season and separated in spring 16 . will go into its bonsai pot this winter . does has a very nice trunk you cant see at the moment. another potential shohin elm airlayed late December hoping to separate this winter

Hi Matthew , very very inspirational , that's what i call a well balanced collection , If Only I could part with 90% of my raw material I might just be able to manage a half decent collection myself .

Mate you need to come along and join our club , I'm sure you would contribute considerably and its a nice drive once a Month

Cheers . Alpine

more to come .

the liquid amber has nice branch structure and I mainly keep is as in autumn it gives the best scarlett tones here . The little black pine infront I got off Mike at a sales day. coming along well. great stock he has

cheers mate thanks for the kind words . Yes I should get affiliated with a club to spark some interest again . I kind of lose some motivation sometimes with them then one day ill say hell I got to do some tree work and finally get to do something. some of these airlayers ive been telling myself to do for 3 years or more . I have several more I want to layer on elms, trident maples and a zelcova that annoys me . Ive learnt to down size last 7 years and now have about 60 trees and a few in the ground etc. I am on the lookout for a decent satsuki azealea and the last 5 years have started growing a 40 or so in the ground hoping one might make the cut .PM me some info on the club if you get time .

All looking good Matt, We will have to catch up some time soon!

yes need you up I have several pines that need your touch

Brilliant trees Matthew,

Thanks for posting.

Great stuff!

Love the Shohin elm/pot combo Matthew. Your collection is wonderful and, for not having touched them for a couple of months, i understand completely. Lost inspiration is always a stumbling block especially when you have a property to look after. Go through the
"Gonna flog them all off" stage once or twice a year myself but we get over it.

Amazing to see an entire collection in such amazing and healthy condition. Love the Tridents and wold like to see some more of the JBPs when you have the time.

Kudos on all of the years of hard work that have gone into your collection.
