What a gem of a man Peter is. He loves his work and therefore he hasn’t work at all.
True true
Hooray! Someone advocating not to waste plastic products. As ever it is a pleasure to watch your videos Mr Chan!
And… Just like that, there you go.
Peter, I think you have forgotten more about creating bonsai than I ever knew 😊. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and techniques. Keep growing
Josh is the star apprentice!..Delivering tools and holding branches, while never loosing the shot. 😎
This kind of content is what inspired me to do bonsai
Hi Peter.
I’ve watched you over the years, and now at 72, and retired, I’m enjoying my very very amateur efforts at bonsai. As you say, I can always say instead of amateur or the typical stylized bonsai, that mine are unique 😊😊
Thank you so much Peter for sharing your time and knowledge with us. It's such a privilege.
Must be Amazing to have a surplus of material on the side lines to create with after an inspirational walk round your nursery! Living the dream Peter the hard work and frugalness has paided off. A mind set I grew up and was raised with!
Quiet, relaxed and yet so productive and informative. Thanks for this wonderful video. I like all three trees, and I like the spruce the most.
God gave you a very special gift and keen eyes to seek all the possibilities of beauty in each plant. I enjoyed watching you as your skilled hands manipulated each plant forming a masterpiece in miniature so pleasing to the eye that it touches our souls. I feel I know a part of who you are through your work. Your gentle voice allows each plant to trust your hands as you bend its very being. Thank you for a very spiritual experience. It brought me great piece and joy.
🙏🏼❤💫⚘❣⚘💫❤🙏🏼
Thank you for your very kind words of encouragement - it gives me a purpose for living. Bless you.
That yew will be a real gem later. Very interesting project. Thanks.
For the phrase "bite the bullet" most etymologies refer to battlefield surgeries and giving patients something to bite down on during surgeries without painkillers. Lead bullets are relatively soft, so they were often used. Archaeologists have found a lot of bullets with tooth marks in them at the sites of old field medical camp positions.
Yes, that was my understanding too. Incidentally the story narrated by Peter in India led to the Sepoy Mutiny in 1857. Historians now refer to it as the first war of independence against the British.
Yes, this was my immediate understanding of where the saying came from: biting something to mitigate pain, something soft enough to not crack a tooth, but not that soft it gave way completely. This principle certainly helped me during labour! 😂
I remember reading the same as him. I should see if the wikipedia entry has changed.
That simple white bag trick works every time !! Best thing I have learned from you.
I love seening projects like this and how they turn out. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for the tremendously informed lesson! Can't adequately express what a FLOOD of I formation you share!
Today is a happy Sunday!
Thanks Peter for the nice video!
Peter, I LOVE your excitement at 14:17!!! I watched that a couple of times.
Amazing work. I love watch how ordinary bushes are transformated into peces of art.
Thank you Peter for the instruction
I've missed these kind of videos ❤
Thank you... 🙏 😔 🙏
Dr. Chan, good morning or good day, it is morning here. It is good to have you back. (Completed the very first reading of the book.)
You are a very busy Dragon. It is so nice to see you traveling, bringing you to different parts of the planet. It is much easier to ask, that question, when you know the people arround you, should know, where the misunderstanding stems from.
As usual your videos are so full of information, such as, which tree does not like its roots "messed with" and do not leave a wired tree outside, metals are much more responsive to temperature than plant material. You have "lived Bonsai" and you are a scientist, to most of us it is a hobby or love of plants. The plants you did, are my kinds of material, what is hiding in that.
Along the lines of "bite the bullet":
I saw something in a short video, I think, about Japanese culture, the word was translated as "cute", do ask me to spell the word, I can't pronounce it. The narrater went on to explain about "Hello Kitty®" and that "craze", how the Japanese like "cute" things and I thought about Bonsai. I had always though of "neat" and "harmony" and "balance" and "clean" when thinking of things Japanese. I think the idea of a "cute" "little" tree helps me understand more as an "aspiring" Bonsai artist, of 58 years. Anyway.
A tree beautiful from all angles is always a happy bonus. The first tree is so lovely.
Thanks Peter, i love your long videos.
Third tree ❤️... Thx for sharing Peter... Can't wait to see more 👍
What a transformation! Bite the bullet story made me laugh, it makes so much sense, I’ll try to split trunk of my goolar ( Indian fig) during monsoon as plants are more forgiving then 😊
Yes I'm so excited for 11th March!! What an opportunity, I will definitely try to attend !
I love listening & watching these videos. Informative. Soothing. Relaxing.
Amazing work.
My kinda gardener especially the way prices have soared ,Yes I save my pots too ! PS loppers THERE GREAAAAT !!!
Hi Peter, loved watching you style the yew and spruce. Great content and given me a few ideas as I’m sure Luke will have also 😂 hoping to visit you again soon 🙏🏻
Great Lesson Sir 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The feeling that Josh had at 14:40 is the same of mine. Amazing job!!!
Thanks again. Every video you do teaches me something new. You are incredible!!
Thank you very much by sharing your knowledge through the world I do really appreciate, I’m 61 years old man and turning my hobby from playing golf into bonsai , I just came from vacation and suddenly I lost interest playing golf because of financial issues I do really enjoy watching your videos.
So many respect, you recycling your pots! Everybody has to do that.. Make a world with no large plastic soup..
New here, it was both disheartening & refreshing to hear an exclamation of exhaustion at the beginning.. As a grafter, trainer & pruner of fruit trees, Bonsai remains a serious fascination. Balancing passion with business leaves me hesitant. Loving this, though ~
Brilliantly done!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💖🤗💖
That was so much fun! 😊
Wow cool you are going to visit the Netherlands! I will see if I can make it!
Such beautiful transformations. I can hardly wait for it to warm up just a bit more so I can start working outside again
An amazing operation that you have built up . Impressive that you share your craft with humility and grace. I am happy you had a nice trip to lndia
and a safe return to England.
Very cool, thanks for sharing! These initial styling and development type videos are always very helpful!
Hi mr c! Another very instructive vlog for us!, 👍👍👍👍always enjoy watching you work your magic!,
BEing a complete beginner, I try to soak up as much info from Peter's thoughts when it comes to shaping the tree. I've ordered his beginner books and can't wait for them to arrive.
Love the top we got you Peter glad it fits. 👋🏼
Thank you and your Dad for the wonderful shirt. Love it.
Starting to follow the beginners course of bonsai , at Lodder bonsai just last week . Big thanks again for everything !
Great possibilities! Thank you for sharing so much of the process!
Amazing work Peter!
Mr chann this video was amazing .
Loved watching beauty come into being. Very nice! Thx for filming! *= )*
Been trying to figure out my branch splitter for a couple years now, this instructable was priceless; put the blades in-until the two blades meet. :D
I love watching your videos, they are so informative and relaxing. Thank you, and your shirt looks cool!
Thank you for the wonderful and informative videos. I would really like to see how you got those seriously pot bound trees into such small pots. I think I have lost a number of plants by making the wrong decisions on root reduction. There is so much available on styling but so little on the husbandry. Truly the bane of the beginner.
Repotting videos coming up soon.
I've always said, cutting the tip of a branch, is the same thing that happens in nature when an animal eats the fresh shoots, and in nature it doesn't harm the tree, not if nature is in balance
Wonderful♥️
Always such a joy❗
QUE BUENO QUEDARON Y EL EQUILIBRIO QUE LOGRO ES DIGNO DE ADMIRACION POR EL TRABAJO EN LOS TRES EJEMPLARES
Great work
it all looks like it's a game. bonsai player... in a zen sense.
Absolutely enjoyed this.
Always amazing videos.
Your dressing is like tanuki 😀 love it
Your videos are so inspiring, thank you for sharing, I’m learning a lot !
Awesome I need to spend more time at the local nursery
thank you for sharing your knowledge
I just learned something! Thanks!
I love your videos and your work. The techniques you share are helping me learn more about bonsai creation. Thank you.
Thanks for this video!
Love it!
Amazing transformations! Would be cool to see these in 5 years from now
That That first spruce would be a great candidate for a SLOW spinning display Mount.
it is nice when there is some interaction from the camera man!
Excited to meet you in real life at Lodder on the 11th! For now the videos will have to do :)
Legendary, so glad i found this channel, love from Ningbo iChina
Sooooo beautiful ❤️
Your Videos have inspired me to get into Bonsai but i was wondering could you also use some trees not typicaly used for bonsai like for example lemon?
Lemon is pretty bad for bonsai. If you want something with fruit I'd suggest crabapple, one of the ornamental cherry varieties, cotoneaster or pyracantha
This is perfect! I can't afford to buy plants this year but love bonsai. Thanks!
What a great learning experience!
amasing, thank You
He's my fav.
is it possible to make a video with the first tree to see how the changes are going ?
I can’t believe that tree is 30 yrs old 😮
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 thanks Peter
There's a kind of semi-weeping Norway spruce. I have one the spitting image of yours but only about a quarter the size. Think it may be a hybrid/sport of the true weeping spruce...
"Break the rules - because you really have to" ☺️
dang youre gettin pretty dang good at those
Nice video.
“Bite the bullet in choosing the apex!”
I love that you have a camera man and I still can’t see what’s going on 😂
Nice
Can u please notify what kind of soil is in nursery pots and how long before its changed for fresh, if at all it is getting changed? The same soil as you would use for in a bonsai pot? Please
nail pliers work fine for trunk splitting and what not
very simple and cheap tool but works nice
If that tree has been on the nursery for 30 years there's a good chance I loaded/unloaded it when you moved there! 😉
Peter…do you have a video about how to re-pot a severely pot-bound tree at a completely different angle like the first one in the video? I have a Parsoni juniper with that situation.
Peter you should get the ratcheting loppers
I would have kept the branches of that first spruce weeping, as weeping seemed to be the habit of that spruce. I would not have shortened them...they wanted to weep.
Peter, look at Lukas nursery in Oviedo Florida! We would love to meet you! I don't work there, but it is the best nursery near Orlando Florida. Go in summer!
Yes i will be there 😇
Question : at 16:00 in , would you have chosen the front by choosing the look of the base also?
If it is difficult to choose the front then the root base can be a determining factor
Großeinkauf, Mike? Sehr cool 😎! Hast du denn schon Bäume, die 3-4 Jahre in einer Schale stehen?
Oder ist das für die zukünftige Planung?
Can l grow black pine seeds and juniper tree in thailand. Thanks Dennis sells
i’m watching it now on the 24th of April and the weather it’s not much different it’s cold but the wind is drying out the plants so I watered them and water is ice cold. I hope I haven’t done them wrong thing.
