Peter swinging the axe like a 20 year old! Nice to see!
I expect to see an axe in your next vid nigel:)
I recently bought a green island ficus and the bloke at nursery said it was the common name for ficus microcarpa, was he telling me porky pies?
Yea I was just going to say:)
Not mentioning, that the tool is actually a splitting maul which is much heavier than an axe :D
His swing is a bit off, but like all good tree men he should be using a chainsaw.
I love this channel! Where the hell can you see a bonsai instructor demonstrate with a splitting axe and angle grinder! Thank you! This proves that you can use modern methods to enjoy the craft of bonsai and open your mind to an infinite way to come about bonsai!
I have watched all of Peter’s videos multiple times, but bonsai with an axe will always be my favorite! Please keep up the incredibly encouraging and informative videos. After forty years of doing bonsai off and on, I have learned more from you and these videos than all my wasted years of reading and classes. A heart felt thank you!
We have various sizes and ages of Bonsai Trees ( mostly Hack Berry Trees) on our Ranch. Our Horse designs them threw out the year as she nibbles on them as she sees fit. She Has An Eye For Beauty, Such As Mr. Peter.
I love your videos, I have learned so much. Also please keep repeating yourself, it takes awhile for things to stick to my brain. Thank you so much.
Bonsai with an ax! Another great video!!
hahahaha, I really laughed at that
good concept idea for a dnd character, the Barbarian gardner. Don't you dare stroll in the garden...
thank you so much for these videos!
not only have i learned a lot, but its really inspiring to watch you and feel how much admiration you have for this form of art
To avoid those spiraling roots in pots try growing a plant in a fabric bag, this will airprune the roots at the tips which makes them swell rather than keep growing indefinitely
I have a maple in my collection that just started in a stray pot sitting in the back of my yard. left it alone to see how it would do. Must be about nine years old now. Roots were growing out the bottom of the plant and really need to be repotted and pruned back. Watching this and picking your brain so to speak. Thank you for doing these videos.
I'm grateful for your videos. Please show the progress of this tree as time goes by.
Another wonderful and informative video. I learn so much from you, Mr. Chan - thank you. I hope one day you produce a video about Hinoki Cypress.
Looking forward to seeing the progress on the squirreled acer!
that is not an axe, its a maul or log splitter. buy a good wood axe and the job will be done in a couple of strokes.
I like your videos very much,because I learnt a lot from it.
I love your videos, your book 'bonsai secrets' inspired me to get into bonsai. I have question about soil, if there is no way to get specialized bonsai soil locally, what kind of soil can I use for outdoors bonsai?
This man is really awesome at his work...
There looks to be some great potential in them tree's . Thanks for the video 🌲🌳✂
Bonsai with an ax! Ooooo love that Peter Chan! Can get some frustrations out for sure!!
I am exhausted just watching you swing that ax! Great job!
Great video, thanks! Would love to see a development video of either of these trees please.
That maul looks heavy for the job. Peter is a strong man.
These are going to be awesome trees.
You've got a great garden😎😄
Give it some with the axe mate! I like ur bonsai style, not too zen, no top knots, no bullshit. Lol
That was fascinating just goes to show you dont need to be so precise with root pruning it will be nice to see how that maple is next year ..thanks for sharing..
I love this, and all of your videos.
I'd just say that an electric chainsaw, is very very nice to use.
Fascinating and inspiring, Thankyou. On a safety note, it would be better to wear steel capped safety boots whilst wielding an axe.
Love your videos. Thanks.
One thing tho: That's a maul you're using, not an axe. An actual axe (or hatchet) would actually work better for cutting off them thick roots. A maul is made for splitting logs.
A maul is thickly wedge shaped, to drive into a log to spread it apart. The blunt end is for when the maul is deep in the wood, you smack it with a sledge hammer to drive it deeper and split the log. They're made specifically to drive into end-grain.
An axe has a thinner and much sharper blade. Much better for what you're doing there. They're made to cut cross grain OR end grain. (You are cutting cross grain there) A hatchet is basically just a smaller one-handed axe. Easier to wield, and with more control over where you're chopping. :D
I am a poor man - I dont have these sophisticated implements - only stone age ones!!
I really enjoyed that. Also - good to know I’m not the only one that grunts when toiling hard. Haven't used an axe though. I labour away with a saw. But may give this Middle Ages technique a go. Regards Craig
Great video 👍🏽
Peter and Herons Team, can we see a video of you selecting material from a garden centre and turning into Bonsai? Would be very relatable for many veiwers.
Also have you visited the Tilford Oak near Farnham? Its about an hour away from the Nursery.
Leo
Guess the latest video answer that!
Thanks P and team!
Get this man a battery operated reciprocating saw.
very nice
I love this video. An angle grinder for carving nebari? Now that's something I can get behind! :)
Do you have a video of how you remove a tree “from the field” and pot it?
Thank you so much for your video
Bonsai by axes and angle grinders...love it!

Great videos. Could I suggest a sharp limbing axe, it would save a lot of effort.
4:04 : Bonsai=1 Vs Axe=0
That Japanese maple is very impressive!
Didn't realise bonsai could be a full-scale workout!
i really want to prune my acer bloodgood thats in my garden, which month is best for pruning? greetings from the netherlands!
Beast with the axe!!!
You might like to invest in a 'dead cat' for your camera mic ; )
Yea, or better yet a lav microphone.
Fukien tea please
Hello Peter, is or possible to air layer a magnolia tree?
We have a lovely tree in the garden for thirty years. I gets cut back now and then but I want to make some use of it this time?
Can you root hardwood cuttings?
How much removal is too much when trimming roots? I've seen you take quite a bit off and don't seem concerned for the tree's survival? Assuming it depends on the size of the tree to begin with but am just curious, thanks. Love your vids and when I make it to the UK I'm definitely going to visit the nursery :)
The Elemental Forge the most important consideration is the health of the tree - a healthy strong tree can tolerate more removal of root than a weak tree. Remove as much as necessary without risking the death of the tree. Takes experience but best to err on the side of caution.
I went to my bonsai club and asked a few that I respect their opinion. I ended up with 2" of root base and kept the smaller roots of a large podocarpus. She lived 3 years until she got a disease from a nearby tree. It was a very cool project. And I still miss her to this day.
Have you finished the air layering of this tree?
Do you ever transplant field grown trees in to a shallower pot? That’s what I have done-usually in pure pumice-and I never get thick roots like that that have to be removed. Just a thought. Cheers.
Have you ever done any fruit tree bonsai? I just discovered the cool little fruit that is finger limes and am going to attempt to bonsai one once I get some seeds or saplings.
We use apple trees
Does the moss work well for evergreen roots too?
Just came from watching a video of some guy doing bonsai with a chainsaw to this. Seems legit lol.
Hello Mr. Chan, thanks again for another interesting video. If you plant the tree in the ground to start, do you let the roots untouched for 10/15 years, or do you dig out the tree several times, trimming the rootball and replant the tree. Or do you dig out the tree only after 10/15 years, to put it directly in a big pot, where you leave the tree again for a longer period ? Best wishes and greetings from Germany.
I grow for 4-5 years in the ground and then pot them up for another 4 or 5 years before making into bonsai.
Bejaysus and begorrah...The Shining...part 2 ! ( I'm sure it will turn out lovely though.)
How do i know how much root i can cut without the tree dying ? I've tried this on small trees before, but sadly they died.
Waiting for the update
👍
steeltoe-shoes maybe appropriate while using a splitting maul.... I mean, if you're also wearing gloves while sawing.
Methinks a saw would have been more accurate with those pot bound roots, maybe less energy used?
😊👍👍👆
My god. Didn't expect the size of that tree
Hindi ba mamamatay ang kahoy sir kasi inalis mo ang maraming ugat?
This is true rubs I think I know where that technic comes from lol also help the root breath
There are very few teenagers in this neighborhood here that could swing that beast so many times. 🥋
⛏💪👏
Audry Maple 🍁💙☕
can I dig a 4yr old Japanese Maple from the ground and pot it? It is about 4' tall.
Thank you Joe
you can yes, i suggest using a training pot and a mixture of spagnum moss and orchid bark 50/50 as soil for it to develop a strong healthy root system quickly. Keep in mind that you will have to let it adjust to the pot etc (atleast a vew months) before doing any kind of basic pruning and shaping.
@@MineconTt will it require a deep pot or can I make it fit into a shallow display pot?
thank you for your suggestions.. Joe
@@MineconTt TY . but what is a 'training pot'? and would you know of any sites that sell QUALITY Bonsai pots? ty Joe
How come no power-washer?
💞💞👏🙏

I am always wondering: “Will this tree survive this treatement?”. It has hardly any roots left.
a fine war-cry 4:11
Bonsai with an axe!!!!!! Jajajajajajajaja
Anyway how old is this legend and what s your secret swing an axe everyday
Not for the faint of heart
A splitaxt ?
Hm.....
Check see already just biggest pirates of picture beautiful just as well Luther future tree bonsai beautiful inches heard people thank you so much kuppum 🥰🥰
Why not use an electric saw!
grinder ,action ,camera .chop .
Peter "The Butcher" Chan.
Very surprising how much "abuse" a tree can take and still live. Not being mean about the term abuse btw lol. He obviously know what hes doing
Devi usare una accetta italiana. Vedrai la differenza.
Quello è un martello pesante.
So your the professional bonsai guy and you know what you are doing but that's a splitting mall not an axe persay - wouldn't an actual axe or even a nice small sharp hatchet or even a saw be a better more accurate way?
I'm just getting into bonsai and Iv been watching lots of your videos and am in awe of these trees and feel very bonded with mine after a few short years I couldn't imagine ever hacking so aggressively at mine.
In rubber boots too.
Obviously, his maul is fit for the job. Looking at his videos and the weathered parts of his splitting maul, it has been used for a huge amount of trees and they're all healthy. Its like with the "fancy" bonsai sheers. I cut my bonsai with my moustache scissors and the scissors from my multi tool when starting with bonsai. As a quasi concave clipper, i used a modified blacksmithing plier with a similar looking head part. It would've been thrown into the trash. I just carefully bent the angle of its blades and sharpened it.
Most of my current bonsai tools are recovered workshop tools from flea markets. And they work. Just a little hint on saving money when starting with bonsai ;)
@@Cheerok
He knows what hes doing when it comes to his trees that's for sure, my tools are make shift at best, but I worked for years in a wood shop and do a lot of fire wood.
use what you have, but also the right tool for the right job helps and one should always follow basic safety practices.
In my very limited experience root trauma seams to be very hard on my trees and often have huge die back after even just a little.
I have only been keeping trees for a few years. Bought a few but Iv collected seven dozen from the wilderness the more damage the roots receive the more likely it just won't survive in my experience.
After a few short years my trees have developed, respond, and grown. When I work with them I treat them like babies.
His trees are so beautiful and he's obviously a master. Iv watch dozens of his videos repeatedly and have huge respect- but I would have never allowed a student to use a splitting mull for a job like that let alone without proper safety equipment- steel toes and safety glasses at least.
Ridiculous
