  • In this video I take a challenging San Jose Juniper and show you the thinking process behind deciding on how to create a bonsai from this material - it’s quite drastic!

    Hello I am a new subscriber and I want to thank you because watching you work with these trees and shrubs has made me much braver working on my Japanese Maples. I have one with canopy 20 feet long and about 6 foot high. I was so afraid to touch it, but now I crawled under it and removed so much dead. I still have trouble "seeing" the tree I want, but I am no longer afraid! Thank you for inspiring me. I'm 62 and crawling under trees!! 😍

    I really hope you can come back to this tree in the fall. I would love to see its progression. One of the things I find very often, is demonstrations are very inspiring, but getting to see the same works much later on, maybe even in stages of say, 6 month intervals, would be VERY helpful. Very few people come back to works months later to show you the development, and how to deal with it as it continues...Really liked this video Mr. Chan. Because one of the hardest things I am trying to get past, is seeing the possibility in a tree. I have SO many, that I have not done anything to, because frankly, I sometimes dont know where to start.

    I am not a green thumb and have never even thought about bonsai but somehow I’ve stumbled upon your channel. I am loving just listening and watching you work. I’m am always amazed at how I physically feel at the start of your video chaotic and unable to predict where you are going. The look of the trees slowly go from this chaos to peace and beauty and with the change in the tree I start to feel that peace.
    It’s like visual meditation.

    This is the kind of styling I like. The end result has a free flowing naturalism and almost literati quality to it. I think Peter has done just enough as to not "guild the lilly". I also very much like the "running man" juniper that he worked on a few months ago.

    Good night Peter. You are amazing. The vast majority would have done a Fukinagashi style, but having seen several of your works, since you had your eye on that S-shaped branch I imagined that the design was going to revolve around it. I coincided with the first jin, the rest I would not have dared to do but the truth is that the final result has been the best. So many equal branches and with the same thickness were a challenge.

    What vision, creativity and guts separating the trunks! As you worked to make 2 trees from the one, the process had the feel of collecting yamadori. The outcome was an unexpected, nearly demure, refinement of the original material. This was either, "The Taming of [a] Shrew " of a Juniper or perhaps, Prof. Peter Chan's, Pygmalion Bonsai.
