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.

Well we're mid way through the Autumn period and you need to be very careful with watering at this time. Different trees in your collection will be at different stages as we head towards a dormancy period so their water usage will start to vary as well. Overwatering can be a significant problem around now. There are techniques you can use and things to keep an eye out for that will let you know before a problem develops. I have been travelling around this beautiful country of ours recently and had the opportunity to work on amazing material and see loads of bonsai lovers. And there is always something to learn!

The approach of Good Structure is Good Bonsai is a great fall back position when you ever get doubt about the next step to take. When you sit there scratching your head and are ready to just leave it until next time, don't leave the issue, don't ignore it, take action. Bend the rules where possible of course and avoid rigidity in your design but always come back to horticultural principles as a priority for the longevity of the design of your bonsai. What looks good initially may be impossible to maintain in the long term.
