Herons have been sponsoring the Bonsai collection at RHS Wisley since 1996. In this video Peter shows you the large specimen trees that are currently on show.
this has become my favorite channel , peter reminds me of my bonsai teacher , a soft nice man who has devoted his life to bonsai and all that goes with it
Wonderful, wonderful, wondeful! This is a life story! This is not a presentation, this is real life story. Amazing. You are a great person, a great teacher, a great father for all those bonsai.
Beautiful! I love how Peter knows every one of his trees and remembers when and where they came from! That’s impressive after seeing the thousands of trees at the nursery! Thanks again Herons!
I could have watched this all day. The beauty of these trees, the display, it comes from a spiritual realm. Most people live in their head. This display reminds us to live in are hearts and please our soul.
More and more i find myself falling in love with Large bonsai... That cedar forest!!! thank you for your insight... Edit: in the cedar forest, when the tree dies you should make it look like a fallen tree.. I've never seen a forest in real life without fallen trees
Brave going in winter and nice work keeping these there. It takes a lot of work for ordinary gardeners to keep the trees well. Good to see some deciduous specimens. Nice work on the cedar forest! Will be stunning once the nebaris develop. That Chinese elm with the hollow trunk though :/ I hope it was comment bait like the 'conker tree.' Hippocastanum has huge buds (not reducable). No way that was a horsechestnut. The hollow elm is a pompom tree guys, where is the ramification on the inner branches? These elms are not hard to ramify (similar to maples). Well done on the EU beech, difficult species when it comes to keeping them compact. I'm sure you will bring this in a bit over time too. Great achievement gents.
Beautiful Peter, I really like how they are displayed, on those stands. Are the pots wired onto the stands, so there is no possibility of them being blown off or stolen?
I came to see your collection at Wisley last year. I recall some of the branches have wires left on that are cutting in. Is this deliberate or do you leave them on in order to scar the branches to add interes? I love large bonsai, especially maples. I have been planning to visit your nursery every time i visit my parents in Surrey, but I fear i would return home with no money left in my bank!
Normally not deliberate. Maples grow very fast and wires start cutting in in months sometimes (especially in summer). However, with some trees, particularly pines, the wire is left to cut in to guide the live vein.
Tried ordering some Acer palmatum seeds on your website but shows out of stock,can you please let me know as to when they can be expected to be back in stock.Also do you ship to India?
All marvelous ACCEPT the last sequence, assembling the picture from 3 split parts is very disruptive to the sense of wholeness the rest of the video has cultivated.
@@peterchan3100 Ah okay, thanks. It looks really great!! I was wondering if it's similar to the eugenia (in pruning and styling techniques as a garden tree). I have 4 big eugenias in my yard (been there since the late '80s or early '90s... so around 30 years old). I've done major branch-selection and re-style last summer (they've never been trained/pruned in a bonsai way) and trying to make clouds. They look decent now and I was able to make small clouds for now (since not much ramification yet); just around 6"-12" clouds after a 2nd trim a season later when it grew back a bit (I hope the clouds get bigger after the 3rd or 4th trim). I wish they looked nice as your Taxus though! :)
I am not familiar with Eugenia for Garden Tree work. I have only grown them as small bonsai. If it is a vigorous tree then creating the 'Clouds' or 'Pads' shouldn't be a problem. I know that in most tropical countries they use Ficus and Bougainvillea for Garden tree work very successfully.@@LessTalkMoreDelicious
'...Maintained in partnership with world renowned bonsai grower Peter Chan of Herons Bonsai, this ever-changing display of some 30 trees can be enjoyed throughout the year...' What ....?!!! This mention of you in the second to last paragraph of the "rhs wisley' website is shameful. They have barely credited you for YOUR trees that YOU grew. I could hardly find your 'walk' on the website nor is it labelled on google maps......You are doing them a favour, NOT the other way round.

Such beautiful regal trees. I am an admirer of peters talent. Thanks so much for sharing
Beautiful trees! Thanks for the tour.
Magnificent collection. Wisley are very lucky to have this beautiful display and your expertise in caring for it.
These trees are gorgeous ! Thank you Mr. Chan for the visit. Greetings from France :)
I love the hedge as the back drop. Ofcourse the bonsai are all splendid. But I love how a living wall has defined the space so simply.
These are so beautiful. Thanks for sharing them.
Beautiful!
I love how Peter knows every one of his trees and remembers when and where they came from!
That’s impressive after seeing the thousands of trees at the nursery!
Thanks again Herons!
Lovely and such long history. thank you for sharing your talent, you are an inspiration
The sparrows hold an old-fashioned feast and square dance every summer around the mulberry. It's quite a sight!
Having visited Wisley a couple of times I must say, it is a wonderful collection to see.
Stunningly beautiful.
Wonderful, thank you again!
Absolutely stunning
Fascinating to see them in their winter season.
Stunning life work

Beautiful, but what a pity the footage cuts away before we see the Horse Chestnut (Conker tree). I'll just have to visit Wisley to see it 😊
Awesome
Some hefty bonsai!
I have always loved big bonsai - see how big some Chinese Bonsai are!
Beautiful Peter, I really like how they are displayed, on those stands. Are the pots wired onto the stands, so there is no possibility of them being blown off or stolen?
Way beautiful things just 🥰🥰
Really really awesome BONSAIs. We're are you located so we may visit. BONSAI POWER.😇🌳
They're just outside east grinstead, beautiful nursery.

I really hope someone inherits your artwork, nobody lives forever, but you should.

Amazing. Nice to see Horse Chestnut used as bonsai, although they’re not true natives.
I am very fond of Horse Chestnut as bonsai. we have created many over the years.
That didn't look like hippocastanum though(?) Also was labelled as an Acer(?)
Where is Herons Bonsai Nursery in British Britain or Hong Kong ?

What is that in-ground garden tree @10:50?
Eugenia?
This is Taxus Cuspidata (Japanese Yew) garden tree - the same tree 20 years later is in 11.53. Have a look.

7.28 in you have said you love the English conker tree then show a trident maple. The conker tree is Aesculus hippocastanum as any fool know.
6:41 lol
How long this old man can life? I hope he life forever to keep those trees.
I want to buy maple tree seeds
If you are in the UK or EU we can post them to you.
why do have sooo many trees bar branches? i thought this is a no-go in bonsai Oo or doesn't it care if the trunk is thick enough^^
You dont have to follow rules slavishly - Remember the saying - ' Rules are for Fools and guidance for the Wise'
@@peterchan3100 I like that
these trees are a porn for the eyes!
Tree porn
