I know people watch this and think that this is the way it should be done, but would an experienced bonsai artist really advocate repotting, heavy cutting and wiring all in the same session? Detrimental to the tree surely but good for a you tube video
Just pointing out an observation as some people watch but do not see. Peter is wearing a coat so it must be cold enough to warrant wearing a coat indoors (note his colourful Hawaiian shirt habit in other videos), meaning the time of year most probably is between autumn and spring in the UK. Wouldn't you say that this windows was the best time to do root pruning, repotting and wiring on a pine in one session without killing it? Even if you still disagreed, results are very difficult to refute (ie the thousands of bonsai and potential bonsai trees would not exist at his nursery if he followed bad practice). You can see a fraction of them on his self-filmed nursery walks.
Peter really opened up the pine. I repotted a bonsai maple and revealed more interesting trunk after watching Peter do it. Now it really looks like an older tree and it’s beautiful. I bought a Japanese sculpture of two men playing a chess game and they sit under this tree
"Just what the Doctor ordered." And Mr. Chan, definitely is qualified to be a Bonsai Doctor. "There are no hard and fast rules in Bonsai making." Thank you for sharing the wealth of knowledge, insight, and joy to the world. Cheers. #HeronsBonsai
I'm going to be this guy. Yes, yes there soma hard and fast rules. Examples: No water= death,always No light= death,always Fire= death,always 😆😆😆😆😆 I'm a jerk
I agree with the comment about knowing when to stop. So when I prune, I only do a little and then step back and wait til the next day and look at it again bc once you cut, you can’t put it back 😂😂
Good morning from Suriname 🇸🇷 love the piece of art it’s the beautiful things the eyes see it has become a beautiful piece of art good explanation thank you .
Thank you Mr. Chan for the work you do for all of us, making videos, explaining, teaching us, giving advices. Your trees are just amazing! Piece of art! I’m so happy I found your channel here, you inspire me and million others. I know that here in Russia many people watch you and learn from you.
Hello Mr Chan. Yes, it’s popular but not as much as in Europe or in America for example due to the short period of summer. More and more people are getting interested in this kind of art. I’d say it’s more a way of living and thinking. We have many bonsai societies in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities. And of course our masters dream to go to Japan to participate competitions :)
We have an exhibitions too , here there’s little history about bonsai in Russia if you don’t mind :) There were Russian settlements in China and Chinese settlements in Russia as early as late 17th century. By the end of the 19th century there were tens of thousands of Russians settled in various parts of China. Some of them were fluent in Mandarin and exposed to various aspects of Chinese culture including penjing. For example, we know of a Russian railway official Alexander Koreshov who resided with his family in a government house in Harbin, Manchuria around 1912. The house had a garden with a collection of penjing and a Chinese gardener who looked after it. These penjing trees made such a deep impression on Alexander Koreshov’s son Vitaliy that after settling in Australia he went on growing bonsai for the rest of his life. He became the founder of the first bonsai club and the first bonsai nursery in that country. ............................................................................................................................................................... 1956 - State Publishing of Agricultural Literature publishes a book titled ‘Indoor Gardening’ which contains a section titled ‘Dwarf Plants’. The section is written by G. E. Kiselev and presents a somewhat distorted view about ‘dwarf plants’. The section is accompanied by four images. One of them shows a 25-year-old Deodar trained in Literati style and planted in a shallow round container. The plant belonged to A. A. Karpenko from Sochi (presently Republic of Georgia). .......................................................................................................................................................................... 1960’s - An article about bonsai in a popular science magazine ‘Nauka i Zhizn’ (Science and Life). The article contained images of high standard Japanese bonsai and raised awareness about this art in the Soviet Union. ..................................................................................................................................................................... By the end of the 60’s Anatoliy Annenkov, landscape architect at the Nikitsky Botanic Gardens, Crimea and Soviet Union’s leading landscape architect, develops considerable skills in growing and styling bonsai. He was a gifted artist and horticulturist who communicated with bonsai enthusiasts from other countries and used to make his own bonsai pots. ........................................................................................................................................................................ 1976 - Japan presents Russia with a gift of 44 bonsai. The collection is housed in a subtropical glasshouse at the State Botanic Gardens of Academy of Sciences, Moscow. The curator of bonsai collection at that time is Tamara Belousova. This collection attracts a small group of bonsai enthusiasts which would form the core of bonsai community in Russia. ....................................................................................................................................................................... 1985 - Phyllis Argall’s book ‘Dwarf trees in the Japanese mode’ originally published in 1964 was translated and published in Russian. It was the first Russian language book which provided instructions for cultivating bonsai. It inspired many to take bonsai as a hobby. ........................................................................................................................................................................ 1988 - A group of bonsai enthusiasts who regularly met at the State Botanic Gardens in Moscow decides to form Russia’s first bonsai club. ......................................................................................................................................................................... 1989 - First bonsai exhibition held at the Japanese Garden of the State Botanic Gardens in Moscow.
Great job on the Mugo pine, I have a few and did similar but just thinning, they don't lend as well to a massive chop, I read they are slow growing so you don't want to take too much or end up with a stump for a long time :) There are several types of Mugos, I didn't know that. Thanks for another informative video Peter.
Not sure why people are downvoting these vids. I notice they dont leave any comments as to why they dont like it. Maybe they could leave a constructive comment about what they disliked instead of just downvoting and running like a scared kid!
I am so fascinated by Bonsais and, in theory, would love to be able to do that. I have watched every video here. However, while the tree may not have been stressed by the shaping, I was. I don’t think I could pluck and nip without having a good cry and a massive portion of guilt. I guess I am not good material for Bonsai creation! Sad discovery that, to be honest. I would love to be able to have the vision and vigor to go for it, like Mr Chan. I fear I may have to remain in awe and watch, rather than do.
Oh no, you should definitely try it. By some cheap plants and practice on them. Like painting, you don't have to be a master to enjoy it and create art.
Hey awesome Video Peter. That would give a lot of people the confidence to get stuck in and have a crack. It did for me. I have this bonsai that looked like a shrub in a pot, where I was constantly saying, "oh where do I start with you?" and put it off for ages. So this video gave me the boost I needed, and it looks like a bonsai now, so thank you. The camera person did a fine job too 😊
@@peterchan3100 Hi Peter, unfortunately I didn't take a before picture. I can send you an after picture only. Not sure how I would go about doing that though 😞 It's certainly nothing flash and still needs wiring. Just giving it a breather after a massive "mop chop." Actually whilst I've got you online, do you take on bonsai enthusiasts who want to do a short term working holiday? Like say maybe 2 weeks (not expecting pay or accomodation)? Sally.
I live in the south eastern US. We have a ton of yellow pines here. If you are familiar with them would they be a suitable tree to use? Also, have you ever used Magnolia? I know some tree's aren't suitable but am curious? Love what you do and very much enjoy the channel.
Send me a picture of these pines - I am not familiar with this species. Magnolia is not often used - only the M.stellata or Star Magnolia is suitable because it has small leaves and small flowers.
@@peterchan3100 Hello again and thank you Mr. Chan for the reply! Most appreciated! I wanted to say that after watching your latest vid "Bonsai you can make- Pines" I do believe that the yellow southern Pine is an acceptable candidate for Bonsai! I'm excited as they are everywhere here from the tiniest sprigs to the biggest of tree's. If you ever watch the Master's golf tournament on TV most of the Pines there are old growth yellow Pines with a few White's mixed in as well. Thanks for the words on Magnolia's also as my wife loves them. I thought about getting a younger one and trying to do a Bonsai in a 5 to 10 gallon pot for the porch just for her out back but hadn't considered the leaf size. I will however try the infamous Yellow pine sir! Thank you again!
Did you end up making a bonsai using a southern pine? I'm thinking about a loblolly or slash just to have something a bit close to home and regionally specific
Mr. Chan was correct in my opinion. It looked better unwired. I would have kept it unwired, and let it mature more. Then wired it when it was about almost twice the size. Just my opinion.
I was wondering, why filling the rest of the pot with the same soil and not with kiryu and akadama, so it starts to get integrated in the three until the old soil desapears by repoting it, also because of nutrients and as well because if you just repot it for the first time you just want to do as much as you can do, without stressing the three too much, so you save one year of repoting and surely it will grow stronger with the extra acid that kiryu has (not saying it is wrong and it was actually a brilliant idea leaving so much soil so you dont kill to many micorrizas)
Hi sir I received some white pine seeds... can you tell how should I do to plant those... as I see so many ways to plant. Some says keep in fridge some said after 24 hours of soaking in water plant them in pots and do I need to plant them in any special soil?
It's not what you cut ,rather, what you leave. I've gotten carried away a time or two while pruning my plants. I don't remember where I heard this bit of information but it's always on the forefront of my mind when I pull out the scissors. A fine job, sir.
Why not replace more (if not most) of the organic soil with a more porous mostly inorganic medium? My understanding is that when moving to a shallow container there is less pull from the water going through to soil to maintain aeration and this can result in an environment that supports more anaerobic microbes that are antagonistic to the tree’s health.
At 15:02 I can almost picture a little tiny me reading a book while laying back against the trunk and getting the very odd feeling that a tree is peering curiously over my shoulder.
A tree like that should have been given much more time, why force it into a smaller pot and leave it looking like it has no direction. Why not shape a couple of nice base pads with detailed wiring. With all due respect Mr Chan I think you could have done a much better job.
I respect my customer's wishes. I can certainly do many other variations but that is not the point - did you listen to what the student said he wanted?
I agree with Rob. Mr chan seemed to rush this one (as it often seems to do) but I guess that's just his style unless it's because it wants to wrap up the video quickly? Could easily spend over than an hour taking the time to analyse and wire that tree properly
@@peterchan3100 I have a few questions if you dont mind. When is the best time of year to repot Chinese Elms & Ficus Ginseng ? My Ficus Ginseng is currenty in a plant pot ,approx 5/6" deep. Will it be okay to plant it in a much shallower pot ? Can you wire your bonsai at any time of year ?
@@peterchan3100 oh I must have missed that, thank you i will watch it now. Also just a quick question, I accidentally cracked a branch of my ginkgo while training it but it seems to be still attached to the main trunk I was wondering if that is going to let in any disease or should I do something about it.
@@peterchan3100 my sister gave me a clipping of a pine 🌲, a small clipping. I put it in dirt in a very tiny clay pot, it has been over a month and I went to check it yesterday and I still don't see roots on the little thing.... I'm doing my best to keep it alive because I would love to have it grow. I keep it moist it's inside it's not in direct sunlight but it does have a lot of lighting around it.
i love the 2-person conversation as you deliberate and consider each other's opinion.
Best part of my week is when Mr. Chan uploads a new video. Thank you.

I don’t know, his reputation isn’t particularly great within the bonsai world 🤷♂️
@@2702simmo prolly cause he don't give af about convention

I repotted a bonsai maple and revealed more interesting trunk after watching Peter do it. Now it really looks like an older tree and it’s beautiful. I bought a Japanese sculpture of two men playing a chess game and they sit under this tree

I'm curious about keeping the soil from the nursery stock. When do you know when to keep the soil the plant came with versus using bonsai soil?
is better to keep that soil, pines are very sensitive coz of their rooting system
I am addicted to your vids! I have learned soooo much and always look forward to your next vids!!!! Thank you for sharing!
I love Mugos. They lend themselves to many different styles and options. Nice start for this one. Thanks

My understanding is that when moving to a shallow container there is less pull from the water going through to soil to maintain aeration and this can result in an environment that supports more anaerobic microbes that are antagonistic to the tree’s health.
This is very porous soil. In fact it dries out very quickly in the Summer - maybe too quickly
