    These videos always fill me with joy. I'm so happy to see the folks that help you out. If I was 40 years younger and tall and strapping like your helpers, I would love to work happily at your side. Unfortunately, I'm older and can just keep up with what I have. None the less, thank you for these videos! You've encouraged and emboldened me. I just hacked away at some of my bonsai that I was just not happy with. I see the benefit of being "bold". A lesson learned. In bonsai and in life. Thank you!

    I love watching Peter prune. It reminds me of John McEnroe when he smashed all the roses next to the court When he sat down again McEnroe noticed he left one standing and calmly got out of his chair and destroyed the last standing rose with his racquet. Great Video Herrons & Peter.

    Loved! Always learn something from you sir. I am in Brazil and I do have a ficus benjamina. It is so vigorous that I trim almost every month. But I may say that it started to grow much better when I changed the soil mix to a more "bonsai type" of soil. I mixed perlite, sphagnum peat moss and burned rice bark. Thanks for your effort on making these videos and sharing your knowledge and wisdom, not only bonsai expertise.

    Going outside in the night right now to find my very neglected ficus (yes, I am a scaredy cat pruner) so I can work out in the daylight what it needs. It's autumn here in Australia, so probably not pruning time but after this great video, I have no excuse when pruning time comes around. Still wish I was fifty years younger and could beg you for a job, Peter. I wish to see the shapes you see in each unique tree, to be bold and courageous with pruners and to have a couple of big strong lads to help move things around. Enjoying these videos very much while in lockdown. Stay well from Nana Kaye in Australia.

    A question about the 2nd tree in this video. On one side, I think the front there were two branches that were very close together, one seemed to cross the other, but you did not eliminate either branch. Did you have a reason for leaving both of them, which I missed? I always enjoy watching you trim trees at repotting sessions. You always seem to know exactly where and what to cut. Thank you for sharing your insights and your techniques.
