Peter literally just wants everyone to try bonsai and i love that. most craftsmen safegaurd their secrets, but peter seems to have no "secrets". Only experiences and observations to be shared.
We don't ever get tired of good news Sir Peter! Any lesson is a great lesson, especially from you!
Sir? Now that's over the top!!! Just enjoy the videos!!!
@@nickjohnson710 back at you!!

Peter Chan doesn't want his money back! 😂
With that attitude I would love to have you at my little tree nursery 😁
The more you live the more you learn..... Peter chan is the perfect example.... Love your work 😍😍
Good day Mr. Chan hope all is well!!! happy growing
Not only a video, my copy of Bonsai Masterclass arrived today from across the pond, what a wonderful birthday gift! Some day soon we need to travel to Herons and have you sign it and the original. Thank you Peter for many years of bonsai wisdom.
An artist at work. Amazing to watch. Like an artist that sees the painting on a blank canvas.
I was just given a picea globosa from a nursery I spent plenty of money at for free. Perfect timing Peter!!!
Another great lesson from you Peter. It’s always pleasant when you share your long years doing bonsai. I tried to buy shirts at Herons shop but unfortunately you don’t send to Brasil. Grettings from Rio de Janeiro. Roberto
I bought two pots of Picea n. 'Little Gem' at Lowe's (here in Oregon). Such a gorgeous plant. I trimmed one into bonsai and I'm letting the other one grow for now. Your video is so timely, Peter. Thank you.
The trouble with your videos is that everytime I watch one, I feel the need to go out and find material to work on. It is very addictive. I just don't have enough space to keep so many plants! 😅
I have the same problem, inspiration overload! :D
It's a wonderful hobby.
So relaxing to watch and so much knowledge to gain. Thank you for sharing Master Chan!
Peter, your videos are always a welcome sight.
lovely...and you didn't disappoint me by doing what I expected by cutting those big chunks off...now off to find a suitable pine :)
The picea got me .... Gonna find one my self 😀 . Thx for sharing Peter 👍.
I 💕 Peter and his particularity of being like Picasso, he always achieves productivity and high quality, he is the best ratio of creativity in this field. Watching his videos is a significant personal enrichment.
🍀🙏💚
Thank you for your gracious comment although I am no Picasso!
Quite a dramatic transformation of both trees. Thanks for your thoughts and inspiration, keep growing
What a lovely transformation of that Muga pine.😍
I am SOOO excited! Friends just gave me two small Wilma Goldcrest Lemon Cypress trees about 2 feet tall where I work! And I got to visit another flower/plant nursery next door to where I work and they had a massive bougainvillea cuttings area - their "mother" bougainvillea looked like a severely cut back bonsai! They are super successful at cuttings and now I have a lot to learn from them. They have lots of unique plants and I'm drooling over which ones to add to my bonsai collection.
Your the best Sensai.
Simply beautiful ~ and so serene! Love your music.
Another great video Peter, it's so refreshing to see you talk while doing the work, others get boring stopping every 5 mins to talk about what they are going to do instead of doing and explaining while we see it, much more instructive. Enjoying the maples changing color but not looking forward to winter, lucky I have mostly pines so their pretty green needles help me get though the gray days. Thanks again for your work to produce these videos, I watch many of them more than once.
Lovely video Peter and josh! Really enjoy watching the thought process behind each masterpiece. 👏👏
I've been buying clearance trees and shrubs to start trying some bonsai next spring. I also have a fair amount of young trees growing around my garden so hope to make them into bonsai as well. I love the videos could watch them all day!
I have learned so much in last 6 months by watching ALL the videos here and trying to practice everything but I have a gap in my understanding about how to develop the apex in different species. Would be amazing if Peter could do a video focusing on this? Thanks. Richard
Oh that shohin is beautiful too.Thank you Peter for showing😍
Wow. Great demonstration. My weakest is conifers. You have inspired me. 🙏🏼
Thank you.... 🙏 😔 🙏
Dr. Chan, you are NEVER mad, you are "BOLD and cut with GUSTO and a FLOURISH". I think this sums it up quite nicely, because you know where you are going long before you make the first snip,,,, thus you can make a cut on small tree with loppers.
I liked your shirt, too.
🙏 🖖 🙏 😔 🙏 🙏🙏
Quite radical cuts but what a outcome! Will try this on one of my upcoming new bonsais. Thank you for the inspiration!
Yes . Peter. Simple way Making Bonsai For Beginners Like Me....hi hi hi ..becomes shohin size
Thanks Mr. Chan
Thank you Most Kindly.
These visuals are a fine teacher
It is a beautifull tree! Love it as always, thank you for your efforts to teach everyone loving bonsai how to go about it. Thanks for sharing!
Very nice. 2 questions, if you please. 1. Why are pine trees grafted?
2. When you tilt a tree to the side, do you eventually cut off the now exposed roots?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Theses videos have helped me greatly. 👍
Grafted pines ensure that the variety is exactly as the parent plant. Sowing from seed does not do that. and yes you can cut off the exposed roots in due course.
@@peterchan3100 thank you sir
Thank you 🙏 for your information, I am just try second air layer this morning. I had started a cutting into a root over rock, and now I think it’s ready for a hard prune back to the lowest branch.. so I’m hoping to propagate the top section, witch will be nice because it has some good shape I would have never had the confidence to do all this without yours and all the other good videos. Love and blessings to all.

@@KennetDeBondt thank you 🙏.
Very inspiring Master Chan, thank you
It's really good 👍 I can now try it someday thanks for the video 🙏
Thank you very much Mr. Chan for all of your Bonsai lessons. You're an Excellent teacher and I enjoy watching your videos. Thank you!
Thank you as always for your wonderful teachings sir Peter. Just listening to your voice is so soothing. Much love 🙏
Your videos are always an inspiration
I found your channel when covid began and I remember you mentioning how quiet it was without the airplanes going by so now I’m the videos when I hear a plane it actually makes me feel good and like a fresh deep breath of air ❤
Thanks Peter, both great exciting examples!
Wow! Just perfect! Thank you for this video! It really opens my mind for picea! They are always so congested. But now I have learned from you that the congestion is is a bonus, the more branches there are the more options I have. Thank you Peter Chan! You do so much for the Bonsai community for free! Books are good very good but to see you to do your Bonsai is really another level in Bonsai, it helps to sharpen the eye for all the possibilitys the trees "have" , The Picea turned out to become a little gem,Bevor this video I would not have bought a tree like this, but now my view has really changed Peter, you are the best to show how simple Bonsai can be and that every one can do i without spending a big amount of money!! I really have ressurected my Podocarpus this Year with you Basket and Sphagnnum Moss trick, they grew like "hell" if you know what I mean. I would like to see something more with Podocarpus from you if it is right at hand for you. Bonsai is such a nice Hobby an d you are bringing it to the peopele! Thank you for doing so!
I am glad you are so enthused.
Love the transformations
I so enjoy watching this videos, please keep making them. Thank you Peter and Herons Bonsai team for sharing this amazing art and sessions!
Hi Peter,
Would you be able to share some content on examples of what nursery material starting out like this might become in 1,3,5 or 10 years ?
ruclips.net/video/Mg8Kl1bF58Q/видео.html
Some of the trees are revisited in later videos. But most are sold and developed by their new owners.
“I don’t mind in the slightest”😂😂😂
Great job! I would really be curious to see the development of the mugo pine to see how it buds back… i have 2 of them and i am wondering how to ramificate them.
sorry some people don’t like the noise ❤this guy is legendary
good tricks thanks!!!
Peter, your videos are such an inspiration ! I’m new to Bonsai, and find encouragement to BE BRAVE, and CUT! Watching you chop off half of that conifer was incredible!! What you created was beautiful! Question please: can I purchase potential Bonsai material at any nursery? I live in the US, and find the big box stores to have inexpensive material- but the trees are typically larger shrubs. Is it possible to create Bonsai from these? Thank you.
Another nice post to help me relax on the subway ,thank you. Did you root those cuttings ? Looked great. Top marks.
Can't be rooted, unfortunately.
Thank You Sir.
salute u sir
delightful
Thank you sir.
Nice, I Like it's
Peter should get one of those clip-on mics, sometimes its a bit difficult to hear what he is saying, nonetheless, great video as always :)
For the parts of the tree that were cut off, can those be made into cuttings? Thank you Peter for the video!
💕👌👍
If you're asking yourself why Peter doesn't like when he sees 4 branches (originated from the same spot) or 4 trees (in the same pot): in Japanese, you can pronunce the number 4 as "shi" or "yon". The sound "shi" can mean "death". Same thing goes for numbers 7 ("shichi", preferred pronunciation "nana") and 9 ("ku", it means "agony", preferred pronunciation "kyu").
I wonder how long I'll take to get used to the extreme pruning.
The noise might be a bit annoying, although we also should remember that we will likely make a bit of noise working with our bonsai. So the noise could be considered therapeutic as well. In my experience I find wiring more favorable than removing potential un necessary growth. I do not fear trimming, consequentially I tend to be a bit more conservative during the process. Shortening branches to some extent to start, and going from there seems to be working, if not a bit more time consuming, the eventual finished product is the goal. Taking a bit more time to get there is merely a matter of patience. I don't mind taking a bit more time to be sure of my decisions. I am hopeful these points may be helpful for others in their futures with bonsai, it isn't the race, rather, the eventual near future finish. We grow as our bonsai work grows. Many consider the craft as having spiritual qualities of sorts, I agree. Just like anything else, our bonsai reflects our tastes. It sounds weird, although, there happens to be a bit of truth behind the theory. With every one of Peter's videos I watch, I always seem to learn, or be reminded of helpful tips, and tricks regardless. Thank you for that Peter. :-)
Hello Peter! Great video. How worried should I be about pruning nursery stock like this in Autumn? I recently pruned a small spruce (I am a beginner) and was alarmed to read online that pruning can be quite dangerous in the fall. Any tips on keeping my plants healthy after fall pruning? Thanks again!
Autumn is OK but not in the middle of winter.
@@peterchan3100 Thank you!
Feeling it’s time for an Autumn stroll around the nursery video?
Thanks. Richard
I am in the process of doing one. Its over a couple of weeks because the colours are changing day by day.
@@peterchan3100 Fantastic news! Thanks.
How long would you keep the wire on the first pine tree that you worked with? What are the size's of the two wires?
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 thanks Peter
Sorry if I missed it, but how long does it take before you can remove the wire?
Looks like yamadori type .
👍👌🙂
I just plucked a pine on my way home from by train tracks by my house on Monday. I'm nervous so acclimating it to the house and hydrating because it was dry. I pulled the orange from it and now been wondering what shape I'll give it when I've mist it in the morning.
I'm not sure what pine type it is but it is about a third of the one in the video.
My question kinda is I don't have wire to use and tend to use twine and rock weights. Does that take longer then wire you can wear tight or about same?
What age to start wiring on Japanese black pine trees with the prospect of medium bonsai? NB I have Japanese black pine var. Mikawa age 17 months
I wonder if that central stem can be propagated?
NOt pines but thin shoots of Piceas root easily from heel cuttings
@@peterchan3100 thank you greatly for your reply as I'm a new student and yet an old plant person who's still growing. Every show has been a rewarding experience for me as I am one who loves to learn! Again thank you dear maestro!
A quick question - did an airlayer of a dawn redwood in july that is now showing significant roots. Do I wait until spring to separate or should I do it now and keep in unheated greenhouse? Thanks. Richard
Yes cut it off now and pot it up and keep it in your unheated greenhouse
@@peterchan3100 Thank you. And thank you for making bonsai accessible for me.
Xin chào mình là người Việt Nam.❤❤❤
How long do we leave the wire in place?
😁
What kind of wire
I use aluminium bonsai wire.
What is the purpose of the graft?
Is now the correct time of year to repot a mugo pine, in the UK?
Yes you can but dont cut too much root off. The less the better
Thank you. Love you videos. Good mix of specimens and starter material too.

Bless you my friend!
I have a friend that says bonsai is too time consuming and need watering everyday so you can’t go on vacation.
Friends and neighbours can water for you but if they don't your plants will die.
Thank you for this instructional video. I understand it may be difficult to take video of the process. Sudden movements of the camera are distracting and take away from following Peter's instructions, as are unnecessary movements between shots, which cause one to become dizzy. I'm not mentioning this to be disparaging - I want your videos to be of a quality such that more people can follow the lessons, rather than give up because the shooting is distracting. For example, unaware framing of some shots miss opportunities for understanding a point Peter is making. Perhaps a gimbal stabiliser might be helpful for the camera or phone. With improved videos, you might find increased following on the channel, helping to spread the word of this beautiful art. Thanks again for the work. Please no hate - I am making constructive critique with the hope of helping build the channel's reach.
Goddamn we have different trees in the desert
That little tree is wondering what it did to get the crap beat out of it. Roots cut, needles ripped out, branches cut off...... almost feel bad for it
Sounds like bonsai isn't for you then
🙄😵💫
Seems you need to be brave and just cut.
