One Day I will wonder around Herons with a coffee in hand. Right now I'll have to settle for sitting on my Settee on a Sunday. Thank you so much for bringing this joy right to me.
Thank you Peter. Eagerly waiting for any video you bring out. Always a pleasure. And never feel bad about your videos being "too long". They can never be too long. That why I love your content. It's in depth and long.
Good morning Sunday Morning Bonsai Breakfast Club. I always love Peter’s commentary and anecdotes, they are always very conversational and interesting. He could probably narrate his breakfast or shopping list and I would be mesmerised 😆 Long may you continue to delight the RUclips fans 🙏
Thank for teaching us sir. I've been watching for a few years now and I really appreciate that you show us not only how to create bonsai from raw material but how to properly groom the raw material leading up to the bonsai stage. I really appreciate your sharing such wonderful knowledge.
We can only wonder how many trees around the world have benefited from your inspiration and instruction. I can certainly vouch for all of mine. Thanks Peter!
Thank you so much regarding the above video on the Hinoki Cypress. I adore how the branches of this shrub/tree grow. I found the lesson great for a new spring. Canada
Love videos of Hinoki. I have 1, its very young, about 12.5 cm tall. Most Bonsai nurseries here in the US, only occasionally sell these but very young, as starting stock. I wont be around to watch it mature, but I am thrilled to be its caretaker. One of my favorite species. Thanks for this video on a very cold Sunday.
If you don't mind me asking, I'm also a US resident. What have you seen the Hinoki's sell for at your local nurseries? I'm trying to find one, but am on a budget.
@@nickybeingnicky I got my VERY young starting stock here in the US from Eastern Leaf, at $29 I think. They are usually only about 4 or 5 inches tall, in a small 5" pot.
1 day late again, I have a small Hinoki tree , coming along nicely. another great video ,learning something new just about every time Peter Posts. Thank You
Thank you Peter once again a lesson learnt, most garden centres in the U.K. don’t stock these types of trees as they are not popular as a garden tree now which is a shame.
I can find Japanese maple and a number of generic looking conical spruces and that's the extent of the tree sales in my area. Ordering trees online, even from a very good garden centre, is very hit and miss. My Acer campestre is doing very well but I've got a crab apple tree where they hacked the top off and it has no side shoots and looks basically dead. It really is a roulette to see if you get good trees when ordering online. I've not tried Herons yet. Will try them at some point
@@Stettafire If you live in GB you can either visit us or buy from us On-Line. But for larger material and semi trained material you need to visit as they are too big to send by courier. We have thousands of trees to choose from.
I picked a little Hinoki Cypress in January, very pretty tree after only its initial styling. I'd love to develop a few in the coming years and make a landscape eventually with a handful of them.
Thank you Peter for all videos. I've learnt so much from you. Could you please maybe do a video about Chinese pepper tree? Mine looks very sad could use some insight from you on how to care for them.
Nicely timed Peter, thank you. The one I got from Heron 's last Sept (a smaller one) went into its first training pot a couple of days ago, now I know what to do with the cuttings.
Hey Peter, when will you work on that big Hinoki cypress? Please don't make us wait to long waiting for your masterful scissor hands magic. Life is short.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge Mr. Peter. We have a 5 feet tall Hinoki Cypress, we would like to move it to our new house. How much do we dig to get the root ball in-tact?
I've had a hinoki cyprus for fifteen years and it's still tiny lol! It has been in a pot, but it's by far the slowest growing bonsai or plant just in general that I've ever had
I am finding these bonsai starter videos very interesting and informative from this content provider on RUclips and I have been watching his content on and off for a few years now.
@@peterchan3100 probably among your community there’s someone more expert than me; my suggestion could be SYNCO G1L Lightning, quite easy and cheap device. A more professional solution could be the Rode Wireless Go (in this case, remember to include the necessary adapter for the iPhone)
Have watched many of your videos, thank you Peter, you are a treasure! I'm in the US and last year bought a Hinoki Cypress, planning to bonsai it. It is about 12" tall with branches about 9" in diameter, in a large clay pot. I have already pruned and wired most of the branches, but need to work with the roots now to place in a bonsai pot. The trunk seems thin to me, about 1/2" to 3/4" in diameter at base. It seems very healthy to me overall. Do you have any recommendations for proceeding? Also, any plans to come to the US in the foreseeable future? Thank you again for your wonderful videos!!
I dont like growing my trees in clay, that being said, that is what they usually are dug out of when I collect something. It was very enjoyable to see how Peter handles removing dense clay.
I know I’m late to the party but I wish to say Peter Chan you are an inspiration to in this wonderful hobby. Watching this episode to gain insight and inspiration for my Hinoki I bought last spring... I love watching the process of you making such wonderful art. Thank you for your time and experience to the hobby.. you are my muse
Hey Peter, I’m in London and really want to visit the nursery, but I don’t have much time. Is there a tube line to near your nursery and how long does it take to get there from central London.
We are not on the Tube line - we are 30 miles from Victoria - London. You have to take a train from Victoria and get off at Lingfield station on the East Grinstead Line. Directions are on our website. Do come and visit - you will love it.
I bought one of these it’s about two feet tall and the place I bought it from said they are really slow to growing and the guy was right it hasn’t seemed to sprout anything more even if I feel m taking better care of it then the nursery was it didn’t matter
I really enjoy your videos but the sound quality makes them very difficult to hear your voice in many of them. I feel like I’m missing out on much of your wonderful knowledge! Maybe a mic would help? Otherwise it’s a constant battle between volume adjustments from when your close to the camera or far away. I look forward to seeing your next one and thank you for sharing with us!
Wondering why you've moved away from peat soil. I myself have also done this due to my own experience with root rot/overwatering. Is this the same reason you avoid it?
QUESTION- Won’t having that dense clay root ball surrounded with free draining soil make it difficult for the water to absorb evenly? When I’ve done that the water seems to run right through and not saturated evenly. Thanks, keep growing
Watching your videos always makes me want to visit your nursery, maybe even meet you in person to have a small chat and bring some specimen back home to my garden. But I fear because i live in germany brexit made it diffucult to take trees with me. Does anybody here have information about this topic? It would be much appreciated. Keep safe everybody
@@peterchan3100 very sad to hear that. Maybe i will come anyway just to appreciate your amazing nursery. Thank you for your reply. Stay healthy and safe for many years to come
I believe using a "deepish" bonsai training pot, rather then the flower pot, was a good choice. Deep flower ( or nursery ) pots, might encourage the growth of the thicker roots back down deep, where as the deep bonsai training pot, should encourage finer, side roots and inhibit deep growing thicker roots...I think? Since all my trees are in development, they are all "over-potted" to try to encourage fine root growth, and still let them grow mass. It also lets them stay in the pot longer before I will have to root trim and re-pot. Well, except for my Redwoods. Those things grow roots like crazy.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom. Question if I may; My rental of 9 years is scheduled for demolition, there are some desirable Leylandii out front, 2m tall. Could I transition them to pots?
Yes, you'd need to dig a good area around the root and not dig too close to the root. Put them into flower pots to start and disturb the roots as little as you can. Once in a pot for a while it'll be safer to transition them into bonsai
Leylandii don t make good bonsai - you will be wasting your time and effort saving these trees. The Hinoki is Ch. Obtusa "Nana Gracilis" which is not Leylandii.
Hello Mr. Petter Chan. I'm from Indonesia, Sorry my English is relatively bad. But i want to aks you, can we grafted hinoki cypress foliege using juniper rootstock?
I know this video goes a few months back, but I wish to ask if a Chamaecyparis obt. 'Blue Feathers' (Hinoki Cypress) would be a good option to attempt making it into a Shohin bonsai; they are readily available and fairly inexpensive in the USA. Thanks! 🙂
There is no such thing as a dwarf cultivar, only slower growing cultivars. Since the dwarfs have the same physiology as the wild type parents they have the same theoretical max size, it just might take several times as long. Grafted trees and hybrids can be much smaller or larger tho. Just an fyi
Aww all the Lovely Hinoke you bought with their deep roots cut, it must be somewhat disappointing for you. I’m sure you will make the grow maybe with your basket Sphagnum trick if can get enough of it.
Hi peter! I just wounder where u get all those japanese pots. I need like 150-200 different size pots for my collection but cant find any for a good prize :/ greetings from sweden
We sell Japanese and Chinese pots but Japanese pots are very expensive now . If you wish to buy in large quantity come in a van or car and buy from us. I will give you good discount -contact our office via the website.
Never ever bare root a conifer, especially one which has just been collected. There is a mycorrhizal network of life on the roots of conifers, Without that connection, The tree will not feed properly, and some nutrients it will not be able to eat at all until the fungi is reestablished, However that can take months even after inoculation. Sadly, I have killed many trees before I learned this information.
One Day I will wonder around Herons with a coffee in hand. Right now I'll have to settle for sitting on my Settee on a Sunday. Thank you so much for bringing this joy right to me.
If you live in the UK you must visit sometime.

I should read the BBC Shipping forecast !! = North of Siera - South of Siera etc etc.
Love this, he was speeding up the first one, then slammed on the brakes for the second! Genius in every video!
Peter, your videos never disappoint. The work you do is amazing. You not only teach us about trees. You teach patience.
Whoa... So many hinoki. Thx for sharing this Peter. 👏👍
So relaxing to watch

You get such great material to play with!
Absolutely splendid Petersan. Love from Imphal👍
Oh Peter, you never fail to amaze us. If I ever go to London, I'll make sure to go south and visit Herons.

Awesome, better than TV. Can't wait for the next lesson.
Pity I dont get paid Television performer rates !
I love the Hinoki‘s form! Thanks for this!
Thanks for the demonstration. Today I bought one of these and I was wondering what to do with it.
This demo was really helpful.

I was wondering about Peter's use of the term "Peat soil" since it is rarely used anymore. It's always good to learn from Peter about soil.
We do use it but it's been deemed by the left as "Non-renewable", I still do my JBP in Pete n volcanic s
Thank you Peter for another great video!
Enjoyed every minute of this video. Thank You Peter!
Wow thats a lot of trees and work but can imagine all the fun and enjoyment working on those. Cant wait to see how some of those turn out.
Great video love watching your videos and showing us your growing fields and all your sayings makes me chuckle 😃
I was just watching your other hinoki cypress videos last night in anticipation for my hinoki to show up! Perfect timing! Thanks!
That was a great explanation of what a heel cutting was! I’ve heard you say that before lol
Thank you for the lesson Master Chan
Always enjoy your videos Peter.
Thank you so much for talking about the wire size, very helpful..

Hello,
Which period is the best for pruning the hinoki cypres, please?
Does it support hard pruning

Someone get that man a mic.
