I've always loved pyracanthas. When I was a young child there grew a large one on the grounds of the pre-primary school I attended. I remember how the seemingly endless sypply of berries fascinated us kids. I think it about time I grew one myself. Thank you for the inspiration, Peter. Much love, from Cape Town.
Sunday Morning Bonsai Breakfast Club🙏 That shirt with Peter’s face on it made me laugh. I did not know it, but I think I need one of those big trunk Pyracantha for my bonsai benches 😄
What a fan-tastic idea to auction the "Peter Chan Hawiian Shirt" to fans, for charity I wouldn't mind winning that myself! 😉 And good morning Breakfast club 😁
Moin, Mr. Peter Chan, thank you! You are just a nice person and share all your wisdom with us!! Greate idea to do a charity auction! You sharpend my view for "big" trees. In the past, I was often thinking, no this tree is now to big to become a Bonsai. But now my thinking is completely different. If the tree easily buds back or get's new branches, where is the Problem. Also if the trunk is to long the nebary a mess, if the tree airlairs, there is just a small problem, get it shorter, get a "new" nebary. Ok, there is always the risk of loosing the tree, but if it is done right, and with your videos it can not go that wrong, every thing will be alright and a new nice Bonsai will be established.
@Peter Maybe raffle the shirt you might get more for charity that way as more people will take part as the price per ticket is not like being out bid. I am involved in a lot of cacti auctions and raffles. We find raffles better for money raising when some of our members need it.
Thank you for the entertaining and educational video. My plant physiology education and experience has taught me that the single most energy-expensive process for most plants is flower and fruit production. I credit this with the common practice by bonsai of blooming vigorously every other year, especially fruit trees, wisteria and pyracantha. I have had great luck mitigating this and getting a good flower/fruit production every year by removing half the flower buds before they open. I also wanted to add that some of the most remarkable bonsai have ever seen have been pyracantha as cascades. Does Herons do many of these or many cascades at all? I don’t remember seeing many in past videos.
Your technique of removing half the flower buds makes sense. And cascade pyracantha is rare - can be done but not easy to maintain as all plants tend to grow upwards.
100% would wear a Hawaiian Peter shirt! It's been 2 weeks since my visit to Herons and I highly recommend that if you can go, do! Thanks to all the Herons Team!
What I love about pyracanta berries is that our birds don't tend to like them too much in the fall. Which means other berries go 1st and they get to these berries just before the pyracantha begin to bloom white flowers in the spring! 😉
Bonsoir . Merci pour le partage surtout les sublime connaissances . Juste une chose que je voudrais savoir . Comment tu fait en cultivant les cotonéaster est les pommiers dan le même jardin ?? C est par rapport au feux bactérien. Merci encore une deuxième fois
My green Dissectum looks like its on fire this time of year. Absolutely stunning. My red Dissectum, has gone from a deep red/purple, to almost blood red as they get ready to drop their leaves. I truly wish I could get my Green one, out of the ground and into a pot....
That face shirt is awesome haha my friends made me one back in university with my face on it and I can never wear it out because it is too embarrassing haha
I grew up in a blistering hot New Mexico city. The exterior of our home was built with many of these bushes, and my parents HATED them (mostly due to their thorns). Based on my experience with them, they are hardy and cling to life.
Peter you need to sell the Peter Chan Hawaiian merch I would buy it. And I would love to buy that I'm not a large man either I offer 70 American dollars I was gonna say 50 but our economy is in the dump so I made up for exchange rate lol
Hi, your video about Pyracantha is good. I’m first time buyer of bonsai and it is Pyracantha. Can you please let me know how to water this tree and where to keep, inside or outside? TIA , Devi
Good morning to all at Herons. I have a Chinese larch that has started to look quite yellow and sorry for itself. Should it be in the greenhouse for the winter or has it maybe just been overwatered due to the amount of rain we have had recently???
@@peterchan3100 As always Peter, your expert advice is much appreciated. Thank you for taking time out of your day to advise a concerned novice. Love all that you do, please keep going for ever. Thank you.
How do you ensure that "weeds", especially grasses, do not grow over you bonsai that are in the ground. It is always a lot of work to remove these. Do you know a solution for that? Thanks
It’s a lot of work if one has many. I don’t think it’s a lot of work if one has to keep weeded a few trees. Besides, if one is afraid of the work they shouldn’t take up bonsai to begin with. Without considering the pruning, wiring, feeding and repotting, just the watering, which is a daily chore for most of the year, should put people off. Having said that, in gardening the most common way to deal with weeds is first cleaning thoroughly the area from weeds and any roots of perennials that may be below the surface, then cover the ground with a thick (6-10 cm) layer of mulch (wood chips, pine bark, grass clippings, dead leaves, or similar). The mulch is very effective in avoiding the germination of weed seeds that are in the ground and if any manage to emerge they are very easy to pull. With time the mulch decays and loses its barrier effect so it should be renewed/topped at least once a year. When I planted my laurel hedge I used the grass clippings from mowing the lawn to make a thick layer around the young plants and had virtually no weeding to do. Plenty of videos on RUclips on mulching for more ideas.
I wonder if it would be better to just take the rock off of that last one. It's tough to say for sure from the angles we can see, but it doesn't seem to be doing the composition any favors. I had to do the same with one of my own trees after one of the exposed roots suddenly died. It just didn't look proper anymore. It did end up looking half decent without the rock, though i need to work on establishing a new nebari.
friends who can explain, I have already brought my bonsai to the greenhouse for the winter, and some of them have started to create leaves. indoors + 15 ° C. thanks.
+ 15 degrees C is good for tropical bonsais but it’s very bad for deciduous (trees that drop their leaves in winter) and evergreens like pines and junipers that grow in places with cold winters. Most bonsais have to stay outside in winter with just some protection from hard frost if you live in a place where temperatures drop a lot below 0 C, especially if the pots are small. Use google to check what the requirements are for the bonsai species you have. There is not one rule fits all.
If they ask me I will gladly give them cuttings but I dont like them stealing them. ie without permission. Besides they could damage my bonsai when they break off a branch.
You're welcome Peter! Enjoy the shirt. I hope you noticed it has small Hawaiian shirts on it, which I thought was pretty funny.
Thanks again Ard - your gift is much appreciated.
Hawaii-Shirts with Mr. Chan's face on them could be a legitimately succesful merchandise line of Heron's. I'd certainly buy one!
Me too
With his face in the centre of each flower
Me too

Thanks for sharing this interesting information on pyracanthas… your shirts look very smart by the way 😃
You definitely need to wear that shirt in a video Peter!

You're amazing peter i was thinking to get a pyracantha cutting and after this video i will do it :)
You make bonsai mutch more fun like it allready is!
OMG! I love the shirt!
Amazing Pyracantha! Congratulation Mr. Chan, it is always a pleasure to watch your engaging explanation
Well done T-bo! Great idea with the shirt. As always, love your work Peter !! Thanks for sharing 😁👍
Thanks for the video Mr Chan, pyracantha is my favorit. greetings from The Netherlands.
Funnily I was looking for videos about this yesterday. :D
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! Thank you!
Koleksi yang keren👍

You are learning fast !
🤣👌🌎 Aawe Fabulous gifts! and card...well we're just loving this Channel Peter, and great crew
A Hawaiian shirt of Hawaiian shirts!!! Love it!!!
Produce more of those shirts I’d buy one!!
Those are very nice indeed. We had a huge cottoneaster hedge in my childhood first home, pity I did not know about bonsai then. Love the shirts lol

Thank you Chris.
By the way - please ask to see me when you visit as I am sometimes in the office or out in the fields.
@@peterchan3100 I certainly will! Hoping to come again in late Feb :)

And a merch-line was born
I lost it at the shirt made of little shirt patterns
still sipping my hot coffee in 30 seconds.... thinking how to prune. 😀

All Larches are deciduous - so dont worry they will shed all their leaves now.

Is this a thornless variety. If so what is it called
How do you ensure that "weeds", especially grasses, do not grow over you bonsai that are in the ground. It is always a lot of work to remove these. Do you know a solution for that? Thanks
Grass seeds scatter everywhere - so it is difficult to control them. We just pull them out by hand and not use chemicals
It’s a lot of work if one has many. I don’t think it’s a lot of work if one has to keep weeded a few trees. Besides, if one is afraid of the work they shouldn’t take up bonsai to begin with.

Pryacantha without spikes?

Good idea - but difficult to dismantle it as you would have to cut the roots off the tree that are gripping the rock.
@@peterchan3100 Bummer.
Fingers crossed we'll see what you make of it down the line. :)

Do you grow any Burning Bush? I've been eyeballing my 50+ year-old out by the mailbox...
What is the botanical name of burning bush?

The colors of the 2 T-shirts are your favourite.
Do nursery centers get mad if you put a few cuttings in your pocket? JUST KIDDING, I WOULDN'T DO THAT. But I do check the dumpsters. lol
