In a simple and polite way, in all these years he has spread the art of bonsai. Even if every now and then someone will disagree on some choices made on some elaborations, in the end there remains a great informative and educational commitment that places him at the top of the world. Thank you Master😊
I also think it's ok to learn a lot from a person and not agree 100% of the time. I think people are too worried about seeing the world in a very black and white way. In many ways bonsai is more art then science. There are some general principals for sure, but it's ok to have preferences and differences of opinion. That is how the hobby develops overtime.
Many blessings to all at Herons - Thank you for taking the time to teach us :) - I find so much peace and tranquility working with nature and I owe it to you guys - Stay blessed 🙏
Good Morning Peter , thinking on what you have just done in this video, for not a lot of money someone can have a respectable starter Bonsai in there collection. Thank you
Nice video, don't know how I missed this one, I am working on a juniper right now with a really nice natural S in the trunk and beautiful red bark once I cleaned it off. now the cleaning of rubbish branches are gone the real decisions start, it's such a nice tree that was neglected at a nursery and giving to me free, I don't want to mess it up.
Dr. Chan, like the shirt... Thank you for another wonderful video...🙏😔🙏 In your experience, is there any tree species that is more sensitive to being handled, touched, disturbed?
Depends what you want to do with them. Deciduous trees are usually more difficult to wire and bend than conifers. Some trees break easily like the Jade. You just have to adapt and go with the flow.
I wish I could find plants like that in nurseries in Australia, everything in our nurseries is straight up and down, super expensive and mostly for the basic mom n pop conservative gardener. It's almost impossible to find these plants with some sort of trunk size here, they are nearly always spindly thin trunks. We have to buy them as a small straight up down bush and then start from scratch every single time.
How long on average do you have to keep a branch wired before it stays on its own. I'm new to the hobby and enjoy your videos very much. Thank you for your help.
Depends on the growth rate. For me the easyst way is check the tree regularly and if the wire starts to mark the bark remove it. In some case the wireing must be repeated.

@@Stettafire Yes, I agree with you. Bonsai is art, and even if there are rules to be respected, art is the basis on which Bonsai stands.
Watching him working on this beautiful trees is art and we are blessed to be able to to enjoy this thank you.
Got your new book in the mail a few days ago and thoroughly enjoying it!
Enjoy !
Peter is a man that absolutely loves bonsai trees, thanks for sharing your knowledge
Definitely enjoyed that one. Thank you.

I do feel truly blessed that my videos can help someone in some small way
Nice to met you again
Loving all these junipers you keep presenting us with!!
I have been afraid to tackle this ,until now , thank you for sharing your experience and skillset with us.
Lol. I'm in the same boat. My nursery stock is sitting. Am going to tackle it once I pluck up the courage, after watching 1000 videos
Always fun and educational to watch, thx for sharing Peter... Can't wait to see the next one 👍.
Thanks Peter.
Nice one as always educational, truly educational!!!
superb sir 🙏

U r legend sir.. n ur knowledge n Hard work is like a DICTIONARY for us.. thank you sir.. love from SIKKIM INDIA..

You are the master sir
Cool!
Really like what you did to the blobby tree Peter. Looks very credible now. 🌲🌳👩🏻🌾
Hi Peter,
I have two golden cypress and I was wondering if you could do a video on making bonsai out of that material?
Kim🍁🇨🇦
I kept mistaking “shape” to “shit”. But well done and thank you for your selfless and generous dedication to these tremendous educational materials!
Sorry about that. Its not intended to be "shit".
Sir Peter can make dandelions look better!
I’d actually quite like to see him wire a dandelion 😂
Did you know, if you chop the head off a dandelion but leave the leaves, it'll grow more flowers :P
When did you do this work? If recently isn’t it too late in the season to do such heavy pruning on junipers?
You can work on Junipers anytime of the year but if the ambient temperature is well below freezing then Dont.
A juniper without movement is like a rainbow without colors
What time of year are you doing this please
I like how you started with a “Chuck Norris toothbrush” Aussie Bonsai Bloke quote 😂
That brass brush is too soft for him, chuck needs steel to make it spark 😆

@@peterchan3100 Thank you.... 🙏 😔 🙏
Love your videos but...
This one with the bouncing/ rocking stand leg can be hard to watch. Thank you.
Chinese juniper is kishu shimpaku? or other species?

if you are in vic go to Garden World Collectors Corner, they have a ton of bonsai stuff and seedlings are like $10 for a decent sized plant
🌳👍
by cutting off a lot of branches, is there a danger of reverting to juvenile foliage
Over potting usually stimulates excessive growth and juvenile foliage. Keep the tree pot bound and the adult foliage will develop.

Juvenile trees like this take about two years.
@@peterchan3100 Thank you I've been watching several of your videos and am learning a great deal.
@@jonawolf8023 Thank you for the information.
💕👍
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
it's a shame you have to rush so much and don't have time for detailed work, but it's nice as a guide
Luar biasa
👍👌🙂
Another great video. The rattling stand was somewhat distracting.
