This bird is a magical addition
that songbird seems to be interested as well.
Snacks!
It's a robin
Lolol
🐦 That's "Bruce", the resident robin. 🐦
Wow, I literally harvested crab apples for seed from my parents 20 year old tree yesterday! Perfect timing!
I just did that today
Look up seeds growing true, apple seeds will never grow a fruit similar to the apple you ate, buy a graft!
That little robin following you around ☺️

The pink stemmed crab apple is called Prairie Fire Crab Apple. Theyre all so lovely.
It was worth it to pull an all nighter to watch this video. I love how frugal Peter Chan is! I wish I can be like him. I want some crabapples
PETER, i to collect seeds from the "wild" intresting trees and grow them two years and take half 50% of the trees and replant back out into the forest!, great video
I grow wild trees and wait till they grow up and I pick the prettiest out of the bunch and I make it into a bonsai.
An early Sunday morning greetings to all from Trinidad.
Camera person showing birds: you can do more of that. It'll certainly be appreciated.

I love crab apple bonsai! Just need to watch out for the aphids.
Beautiful trees. I remember growing up with crabapples and so I guess I just love them since then. Good to know I can plant right away
This video came at a perfect time for me. I just collected a few crab apples the other day. Thanks Peter!
I planted some wild Persimmon seeds last fall and have several beautiful seedlings this year. I gave some to friends and planted others out on my property. I saved half a dozen back to try them as bonsai. They have a beautiful bark on the older trees.
Thank you for sharing! Really enjoyed this video.
Wow, I just happened to stumble on this on the 2 year anniversary of this video. How lovely, because I have a few fruit seeds I've sown already, and wanted to learn more. Thank you!
Thank you for making this beautiful video. I always learn so much from your videos, especially this one. Crabapple trees has to be my favorite tree.
Enjoying the fruiting bonsai!
After eating an apple around March of last year, I noticed some of the pips in the core had already started to sprout inside the core. I planted them, and now have seven seedling apple trees. The original apples were Pink Lady grown in Chile.
I let mine all die sadly, but I'm getting a redo! FYI appleseeds don't give the same apples that they came from sadly, so either a tasty unknown species, or a less tasty one will be the literal fruits of your labour. Also, this means that all the trees that produce the same kind of apple originate from one and the same tree. You heard it right, humanity does copy paste with nature :)
Lately I've noticed that with the pink lady apples allot of them have been getting seedlings sprouting inside the core where with the other apples I have eaten over the years rarely the seeds would sprout in the core of the apple
wow are those ever some gnarly old trees.
Fantastic video! I really like the yellow ones.
My dad just bought me the crab apple kit from your site! Planted them today - can't wait to see some growth!
A little over a year ago I found your video on starting maple seeds. It worked so well and was so much simpler than any other method. But it did fire me up for starting more seeds. Last year I tried fir trees, catalpa trees, Amur maples, and a variety of large fruited crabapples . I got seedlings from all of those. I also tried another variety of crabapples, Robinson, and it is a very tiny fruited variety and those all failed miserably. I'll be watching this series with great interest. I will get some seeds into some potting mix later today. thanks so much for sharing.
Good to know what you did
Oh wow what a huge tree!
Wow those look beautiful
You're a very good at teaching. thank for the video :))
I got my crab apple kit from you when I visited last week ..there was loads of seeds 👍👍
Brilliant.
lovely story about the seed !
I confirm that these kits are absolutely useless! I grew quite a few from your seeds last year Peter! I just squashed them directly into some soil and "hey presto" they sprouted really fast, just like you explain. I love them!
Very lucky to find 2 crabapple trees on my way to the train station. one yellow and the other green with red hues. Only need those gorgeous darkred ones now. Do you sell those seeds by ay chance mister Chan? The seeds will be sown indoors and outside for experimenting, to see which ones will grow better (not sooner).
Lovely crab apples and you made me inspired to plant some seed as i know places where I can pick some. Take care
Thank you I am trying this today
Wow!!
Thank you for the tip
Perfect timing, I was just cleaning some crabapple fruit to grow!
Dear Peter, yours videos are awesome as usual! I suggest you to use remote microphone to keep volume at same level. It will make yours videos much more comfortable to listen without playing with volume. Thanks for your adorable work and garden, it's like oasis in our crazy world.
Wow that's great I shall try that with the beautiful crab apple I got from you in the summer 👍🍎
Week 39 of Sunday breakfast with Peter
Stay well
Stay safe
thanks Peter.
Your latest videos including this one are especially great. Love that the camera man got that bird in there. Haha.
I collected a few fruits from a tree in one of our city centre parks a few years ago, have around 10 young trees from those seeds now. Really must remember to pot them on from little trough I started them in by next spring.
We've some Robins that visit us a lot, at least one breeding pair.
WOW .....
Some of those fancy crabapples have an interesting taste. Some I've tried are almost like peppery cherries. I might go back to that tree and get a bag to make jam, should be lovely.
They are so Beautiful. I don't know you can eat Crab Apples. And so cute.❤❤❤👧
Super!!!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍👍
Nice.
Very nice trees. Thanks for showing the various ways of growing trees. Some of the potted tree look old.
I love me some crabapple jam
That story would make a good children's book
Your passion & enthusiasm for gardening is contagious. In your opinion cold stratification is not required for germination of crab apple seeds? This fall I collected some seeds from the most delicious crab apples & am hoping to sprout some seedlings from them. Thank you from 🇨🇦
Note that if you have seeds from a particular cultivar with specific characteristics then the resulting trees won't be the same cultivar and will likely have different characteristics. This is why most fruit trees are propagated by grafting or from cuttings. In bonsai we normally want very small fruit and so those varieties are not propagated from seed.
Even though it may be very different from the parent plant. Will it still produce some kind of small fruit
ooooo nice
got the same variety hes showing at 4:00, i think it's a chinese/manchurian crab apple
got it for 25 bucks and it's a double trunk way bigger than those. it had like 100 fruit on it, kind of a steal for that price ^^
This is freaking awesome! Can you also grow pears into bonsai? Making little mini pears?
Thanks for this!
I tried this last year and it didn't work, but I did stratify them. So I'll just direct sow this year.
With some protection from the local squirrel
Look forward to seeing the progress too!
Peter would be so cool to get a update on these
I see crab apple jelly, preserves, liquor, flavored whisky, candied crabapples, don’t know what they are called but like cherries In a jar, etc. Have seen used to flavor white wine, a friend used the juice like you do before making jelly used to flavor champagne. My grandfather also made pickles out of them sweet and tart. I loved his watermelon pickles - he pickled everything from cukes to carrots, peppers, Beans (3 bean salad), onions, watermelon, all kinds of things. Some sweet, some sour. Basically crab apples are just like apples just much more tart and smaller. Have had them mixed in with regular apples, pears, etc and used in the same recipes from pies to butters. Some are very high in pectin and don’t require any extra, others need extra but usually they are high in pectin, vitamin c. You want to make sure they are ripe and at their peak - best way to tell is taste. Also I was taught to cut in half and if the seeds were dark brown they were ripe. My papa said if the critters were after than, they were most likely ready (bear, deer, raccoon, squirrels, possum, groundhogs, and birds. They are very popular. The small ones seem to stay on the tree longer, think they are more bitter and the birds get them later in the winter. Some need a pollinator I believe and you can get ones that mature from 8’ to 40’. Check the facts.
Never thought to use for bonsai, can’t wait. They come in all shades of pink from almost white to dark pink, to white, and with white and pink blotch. Ours the hummingbirds loved them as they some of the earliest blooming in spring either coming into the area or moving north. Same for honey bees - early source of nectar and pollen. Some are very fragrant, other not so much. Loved to stand on the porch in early evening early spring just as the breezes were becoming soft and warm (not trying to be poetic it’s just the feeling I got) and just breathe in the fragrance. Anyone who has spent a lot of time outside will know the feeling.
Some of the large fruited ones are Dolgo, Callowey (Calloway not sure if the same or just a different spelling) two I know of then there is Whitney, Chestnut, Harvest Gold, etc. if you want large fruited - typically those that say flowering or ornamental are smaller fruit. Those that say fruiting are ones meant for use in making products like jellies, jams, etc. but I have seen this not hold up, depends on who is selling and what they know. Some are just non grower type resellers and wouldn’t know a pear from grape.
Thanks Peter. The robin had designs on the seeds I think.
🐦 That's "Bruce", the resident robin. 🐦
I have just purchased a starter Crab Apple from yourselves but cannot find a tutorial on how to start a Crab Apple bonsai on RUclips... Can I request you do one please Peter, very much enjoying your videos by the way 🙂
Thanks Peter. Nice beautiful trees and fruit. Did they germinate without cold stratification? I finally got several Apple and pear seeds to grow after= planting outdoors in the fall.
HAHAHA! Mr. Chan: exposing charlatans since the eighties. Well done sir!
Damn peter lookin fresh
Thank you Peter your crab apple 🍎 bonsai look amazing are they available to buy on your web sit I would like to buy one and if so would it stay out side through the winter 😊
Peter Chan: "My son almost made me go bankrupt, I had to give him 10 pounds!"
Also Peter Chan: "...so that's how I got a 500% return on investment."
If he sells them £5 each that would be a 50000% return, not 500%.
@@peterboneg no, if he paid 1 pound, selling for 1pound is 100% roi, 5 pound is 500% roi
@@PSPMHaestros No, he paid 1p per seed, not £1. If he paid his son £10 total then his son collected 1000 seeds. He sold each tree for £5 which is 500 times the amount he paid per seed, which is 50000%.
preciosos los manzanos 😍😍😍😍😍 una pena que cuesten tanto los portes....si enviaras en una carta solo las semillas aqui tienes un comprador 😊😊😊
Great Video!
It would be interesting to see if you can make a bonsai with multiple trunks by burying a single fruit.
Yes you can
hello friends☺
Hi!
Hi Peter, may I ask you When is a good time to repot a crabapple bonsai? Many thanks 😊
Can you store the crabapple seeds if your not ready to plant them all? Wonderful video. Thank you and stay safe.
Yes mate ,just store them until spring
hopefully someday i'll have a crabapple tree too🙁😊
hi Peter, when we make crab apple bonsai, do we have to graft them? thanks
Peter, I collected crab apples, collected the seeds and sowed them in a seed tray immediately having watched your video.. Have you got an update on your seeds? I'm curious to know the next step as I have only one seed that germinated! It's about 2 inches high and hasn't got true leaves yet!
in your climate, does the ambient temperature go below 40F ? Do I need to stratisfy the seeds?
Should I pinch my seedlings?
They're about five inches tall now and I wondered if I pinched them it would push side growth?
Think I will try small plum seeds
So crazy, I grew up in Purley, stumbled on your channel completely by accident, am now an intensive care doctor in London, must stop by your nursery some time in the future! Thank you for the videos and passion.
We lived in Purley from Aug 1975 to Jan 1986 - Riddlesdown Ave
@@peterchan3100 ahh yes behind the train station, i was there from 1993 to around 2010 - Dale road and Church Hill. The place is rich with memory now.
If you only want a couple trees, just visit a neighbor who has a mature crab and ask his permission to take some of the volunteer seedlings that have come up in his garden. Or, you can just take a few apples and drop them on the ground in your garden. These trees reseed like crazy.
Sir peter.. could crab apple in tropical areas?
ha that bird even wanted to know how to make crab bonsai
Crabapples are so nice! ✨✨
But, they don’t flower in hot, dry Southern California zone 10b, do they?
You can by giving them a false winter ie put the trees in cold store in winter. Then in Spring they will flower.
Please do; I would like to see the growth of these crab seed, as I have a bag of red crabapples and well save the seeds before processing. This comes at a perfect time. It is not ease to find to purchase a small crabapple tree. They tall and columnar.
Thank you.
I planted one crap apple in the soil four seedling came out I separated them and wired them. Do you think the are going to fruit soon? Thank you
Most apple species, including crab apples, begin to produce fruits around two to three good growing seasons.
A random Pigeon thank you
Hey Mr. Chan can you do a video of what to do when your bonsai is being attacked by spider mites or bugs?
I've seen one where he says, "spray them with a jet of water" so I tried it. The mites are gone about as long as when you spray chemical insecticides. It turns out I've been wasting money on bug X lol
ohh witch video it that?
Does the seed grow up to be a tree similar to the parent trees?
As soon as you walk away the bird will pick out the seeds and eat them. Come december you'll wonder why the seeds didn't sprout.
You are so right - squirrels and mice also steal the seeds
Only if that bird also follows Peter to his kitchen window.
Apple seeds are toxic to alot of animals I don't think he would
Lil bird was waiting for some treats i guess. Wish to see some follow up on those seeds please..can't wait for the next video. Stay safe to all and cheers..

Hallo Peter, solch einen schönen Zierapfel hab ich, bis jetzt, noch nicht gesehen. Könnten sie mir zwei oder drei Samen von dem schönen Zierapfel mit dem roten Fruchtfleisch zuschicken? Natürlich würde ich den Versand und die Samen auch bezahlen. Wäre das möglich, ich würde das sehr gerne ausprobieren.
Einen ganz lieben Gruß aus Deutschland
Michael
Would the seedlings be true to type?
Do you have any hawthorn bonsai?
Yes, he does. They were in one of his nursery tour videos.
im in indonesian' can i buy an shipping to here ?? im seriously want to buy it now, where is it?
👍👌🍎🙂
Any updates on this? What happened after you put them on your windowsill?
I am surprised that you grow from seed. As you are aware plants from seed do not always grow true to the parent tree and take quite a while to grow. I assumed you would use air layering to produce young trees in a much more rapid fashion and have trees true to parent tree. For a home gardener so many potential new trees and so limited space and time. Love your videos.
Given apples are more of a hardy species, is it still okay to sow them this early without cold stratification? IE: Would there be any negative effects for these seeds to not undergo a dormancy period?
It's best to keep them indoors till next spring and then they can be moved out.
@@diavalus I understand - I am mainly wondering whether there are any detrimental effects to sowing and sprouting them this early, considering their normal growing conditions. Some species require cold stratification, for example.
Florence Chan if the seedlings are kept outside in temperatures below freezing point, then they will be damaged, that’s all.
When they germinate keep them indoors - I do them in my kitchen and bring the young seedlings out in Spring
Can crab apple bear fruit in tropical country?
Oh hello, little robin. Are you taking an interest in bonsai, sweetie?
🐦 That's "Bruce", the resident robin. 🐦
Can we buy some of those red crab apple seeds from you?
Yes we have them on our website
When next ep???
Does anyone else wish he was selling that sweater online?
Hi, will you please send me some your pink flowers crab apples seeds thanks
