I challenge anyone to find better shirts than Peter. He was a rockstar in another life.
Dunno about you guys, but for me Peter's bonsai videos are like therapy.
Same,totally agree.

This guys is such an adept and knows his personal trees so well that he just absolutely manhandles trees I'd be afraid to touch. I'll be there in 40 years.
Noticed that immediately. Everything is intentional. Mastery.
Watched this video last year and grabbed a couple of Florida swamp maples and a yellow oval pot and followed your instructions. It's sitting here smiling at me. I trimmed a little and I'm so proud.
I bet it’s beautiful. I’m about to do the same with some sugar maples from my yard and a big, teal, oval pot. 🥰🥰
They have too big leafes, isn't it??
I also got a swamp/red maple near my house in south Florida and it’s growing beautifully
I can't get enough of this content. RUclips algorithm, please support this man and his photosynthesis-based friends.
Peter is a treasure in this world a truly great man
Great teachers, share and inspire, rather than show superiority and look down on others. You are a great teacher. 🙇♀️
I nearly took up teaching when I graduated.
@@peterchan3100 l love how he treaches
"see this amazing forest, its only about 10 years old" the level of dedication is amazing
It's so beautiful to see such a wonderful and warm hearted person share it's philosophy. Thank you very much! You're awesome!
Hello from California, USA Love your tutorials on your website.. I've learned a lot from you SIR! GOD BLESS YOU! Much love from America 🇺🇸
I love how he always says he’s lazy, even though I’m pretty sure he works like every day and works all day. I’ve seen several videos filmed on Sundays so I really think he does at least some work every single day. I know a lot of people like him including my German grandmother, they can’t stand sitting and doing nothing, they will find ANY work to do even if they have plenty of excuses to rest. If you notice most elderly people that are very healthy are like that, it keeps them young mentally and physically!
I often think it's not 'work' if it's your passion :)
I love how he just gets right in there, grabbing, breaking-up, snipping, etc without any worries, shows true expert & a great teacher as well; shows not to worry about how it looks in process but the end result & how easy to get to that end result - organized chaos into outstanding beauty! 👍🏻❤
With Peter, everything is easy and fast. Kudos to this great Teacher.
"I am a lazy person", hahahahaha, lovely that he says that while he makes bonsais.
He says he’s lazy but I’m pretty sure he works like every day and works all day. I’ve seen several videos filmed on Sundays so I really think he does at least some work every single day. Plus I know people like him which reminds me of my grandmother, they can’t stand sitting and doing nothing, they will find ANY work to do even if they have plenty of excuses to rest.

@@CHloE748also staves off negative emotions and anxiety to focus on something like that
Yes! Mesmerizing as though watching the hands of Mother Nature creating her landscapes.
Beauty is therapy. Master Chan and Staff illustrate how this can be natural and friendly.
I also love that you show many examples before showing how to do it.
I don’t have a bonsai tree, yet, but I can’t stop watching all your videos. I want to thank you for sharing your joy about bonsai trees. I believe that with everything I’m learning from you when I buy a bonsai tree I’ll be able to keep it alive and beautiful. Thank you again.
I love the way you are repeatedly sorry for cutting the leaves just because they are beautiful. You are a lovely man. Be blessed Mister C.
The videos are so nicely edited that I didn’t realize I watched an hour video
My Office Manager does the editing - she is excellent.
Really - crap, I’m late!!! 😂😂
Oh shoot it's been an hour already?! lol
I love the forests. Can we see an update in Spring or Summer please.
peter, thank you for making such beginner friendly videos, and making bonsai more accessible to regular people. i used to think it was a craft only a few talented people could accomplish, but your videos are really inspiring and encouraging to people like me who're new to it 🙂
Thanks for always sharing your trade secrets and "doing yourself in" ( like you said). Your passion is contagious. Thank you Mr. Chan. I think I am infected...
Bonsai is an art and this is an artist.
Great video Mr Chan. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. Many people dont understand the value of it anymore. The workshops you offer for free would cost alot of money to take anywhere else. So many wonderful tips included in this video.
53 minutes of a very well spent of my time. thank you.
Thank you for your commitment to making bonsai accessible and simple. I am an American living in Bolivia and, as a confirmed plant addict, have been rescuing naturally-occurring, but unwanted (because of location), ficus seedlings. That has naturally led me to dabbling in bonsai and I recently bought a juniper for the express purpose of creating a bonsai, thanks to your guidance on RUclips. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and philosophy.
If I use a lump of concrete I may get laughed at! But Peter can create something in minutes with it and I’m willing to pay good money! What a genius he is!
Such a humble man thank you for your knowledge
A calm kind place, just brings out your imagination. A place to bring out every one's best in them selves . THANKS PETER
Well said!
Thank you sir for you kind feedback
Such a humble man! "Professionals may do it differently, but I do it this way!" How bad do the others have to be if he doesn't mean to be professional ?! For me he's the best !! Thanks for the master class!
wtf? i really love that. in my mind a picture was grown to build a forest as well. i love bonsai for decades now and i love the forest but for a strange reason i never but that ideas together. it is what i urgently have to do right now. thanks for the inspiration.
The longest vid so far and I don't even mind the time at all. A very worth watching vid. thumbs up.
Love your philosophy (49:30)! You're a great man!
Greetings from Poland!
"Their are no hard and fast rules". Peter Chan
I agree. He is a remarkable man. Never condescending, or haughty ....always humble and excepting of others ideas and views. He is a joy to be around....even by video.
I was always reluctant and shy to show or even speak about my shoestring budgeted bonsai trees.... Now your words and experience has motivated me not to be shy about my experiments with bonsai trees...Thank you Sir...
42:05 spot on assessment! I've seen many people explaining on and on about their intention before pruning. I really appreciate you getting straight to the doing and explain as you go!
I find it's a much more effective learning experience, you can follow the thought process more naturally.
Stumbled apon one video and now i am hooked and fell in love with the channel instantly 😁
Just another 100 years may be enough time to finish all his projects ❤
Would love a video where you revisit some of the bonsai from old videos- show us how they grew, what you ended up doing with them!
I love the privet forest! The height variation really accentuates the spatial variation so the overall composition looks fuller ❤
Thank you for doing these fabulous videos. I've thoroughly enjoyed discovering your channel.
Please remember that many of us may be in very far off parts of the world & have no access to either your nursery or your classes - sadly, so in a way, you're not losing anything, you're gaining admiration, appreciation, gratitude, and inspiring newbies.
Thank you - from Australia
I can watch you picking moss for hours, very satisfying!
You made me laugh with delight. Well said. Me too.
Oh my goodness I absolutely adore your bonsai forests. I only found your channel yesterday and can’t get enough of your videos. I have been collecting bonsai for over ten years and have learned so much from you already. Thank you sir 🙏
Lol. I highly doubt anyone viewing your videos will make a dent in your business. If they are watching your videos, they're new to creating Bonsai's like i am. You do great work, and it's a pleasure to watch your videos.
The most wonderful part of this is Peter refers to professional growers might do it one way, but this is the way he does it… totally putting aside he is the professional.
Imagine getting into bonsai watching a few RUclips channels and finding this just awesome, I dare say you have followers and admirers in all corners of the world and I just happen to be a 3 hour drive from your nursery, If I get chance I will call by some day!
I really like the two-group juniper forest with the space in the middle. :)
I am a beginner in bonsai. Your videos are helping a lot. Love and regards from Kerala India
The juniper forest is just so glorious it makes me happy just to imagine what it could look like in the years to come.
That juniper forest looks amazing already!!
Watching your videos lowers my blood pressure. Thank you.
I think you might be the new Bob Ross 😄👍 someone who loves what he does and communicates his creativity
That juniper forest is gorgeous. I can hardly wait to have the space to create such beautiful things!
I like model railways and could imagine a rail track going through the forest.
That conjures some beautiful imagery. Thank you.
I'm a sucker for the zen garden styled bonsai setups where they make it look like there's a river and bridge and stuff like that, maybe a combed sandpit and monolith/upright stone. Takes the zen nature at the root of bonsai and then takes it into a miniature zen garden diorama. So gooood! It's like zen meta. Zen-ception.
Not sure if you play games, but if your into trains and model railways I'd HIGHLY recommend OpenTTD; it's basically Roller-Coaster Tycoon, BUT FOR TRAINS (+rail networks)! It's also free! (It's the open-source remake of transport tycoon delux; openTTD.)
also has road, sea, and air travel; but it's mostly to exclusively used as a virtual railway sim, and it's bloody fantastic at that.
Chuk Wow - What an ingenious idea!
Do it
hell ya
Make some roads..Some model cars and trucks running on the road and a coal or steel mine & also keep some mini wood cutters for perfection.
these incredible paintings will always captivate the eye
31:53 "I don't know if professional growers do this" says someone who probably knows more than any of them.
Pittsburgh Flip ,Bonsai can’t be faked.
Um sure! Not understanding what this has to do with anything I said, but sure!
@@banjopete Pittsburgh Flip was actually extending a compliment.
Thank you Peter. Your humility is so refreshing. I love how motivated and relaxed after a teaching video with you. Thank you
You are an Inspiration-! And your willingness to share knowledge with the World is pure Love.❤️
I always thought bonsai were interesting, intriguing. I'm hooked, this stuff is amazing. He's incredible. Imagine having him for a sensei, a mentor, a boss.
Such vivid & clear guiding demonstration for amateurs like me . Thank you .
I am so grateful for your guidance in all of your videos. Thank you!
Peter your videos are so inspiring to me thank you for sharing your knowledge with us especially during these hard times.
The dialogue and the visuals soothe the soul.
I admire you sir , on your dedication in everything you do, your so energetic at your age, keep it up
I just found this channel today. He say's he is nothing special, he is an artist of the first order. His ability to work with living things and make them more pleasurable to the eye is talent beyond belief.
I could watch and listen to you for hours! It’s absolutely healing and nourishing.
Thank you, Peter! 🙏
I love watching you work on these projects, it’s relaxing and so enjoyable ❤❤❤your my favourite bonsai channel.
The view of these videos was serendipity at first and now each new video grants serenity and helps to see everything in an easier way. Thanks Peter for your simplicity and the passion that you are able to transmit in the humbler way. Always wait to see a new one to learn something new!
Peter... to make bonsai with you would be quite an experience... thanks for being so inviting!!! I just love the groups, forests and individual trees.. some more than others.. but their all masterpieces!!!
Thank you so much! Your videos really do make bonsai so accessible for everyone and show how simple plants can really make something amazing! Have ordered some junipers from you to make myself a forest!
Me, knitting and watching Peter Chen talk about bucking Bonsai conventions: Peter, you absolute mad lad, you'll turn the world upside with your radical views.
Peter sir you have made thousands and thousands of disciples through your youtube videos.Take respect and love from India
Did you know I grew up in Calcutta as a boy and young man?
@@peterchan3100 yes Sir I know and follow you in all web platforms you are available. Have seen your Cycling photograph in west Bengal. Big fan of yours.
Peter I personally enjoy watching all of your videos and appreciate the way you explain the different processes and Herons is my first stop for trees and special supplies.
My driveway is loaded with a variety of young Maple and Oak. This should be fun. I loved the opening sequence as well. Somehow, you made me feel at home from the other side of the Atlantic. Thanks!
Its a pleasure watching you and your inspiring methods! If I was in the UK I would definitely be in a class.
I loved the forest growing out of the stone!
I really admire your collection Peter. Thank you for this inspiring video
I love that you aren't pretentious about Bonsai! Thank You Sir!
Forget the forest and bonsai for once Peter. Getting to see you and hear you is as plesant as sitting in the garden in the morning. We all love u Peter.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I love bonsai and since I'm close to retirement age, I will try to follow your style.
I like the long videos!
I love plants and have put off getting involved with bonsai's due to how expensive and serious the hobby is in SA. These videos are amazing and they have honestly changed my perspective😁. You make it look fun and beautifully creative. I would love to see the colors on the maple in a year or so
There is so much kindness in your heart,your success will never end. Thank you for being so a great teacher.♥️
49:15 that's what makes you a true master!! 👍 Thank you for your spirit!
Love all the videos, you sure know your stuff!! So fun listening to all your tips and insight on bonsai
Lovely, not boring at all. I love the speed at which you work!
Watching your videos make me so chill and happy. Thank you.
You are so amazing. Thank you so much for sharing yourself, art and style!
One of the biggest things I lerned from your videos is that you tend to build "hills" that are higher than the pot itself. Never even thought about that
I live in the US and love watching you create. My tru love is maples but the Juniper group is awesome.
I just love forest and formal upright pines and conifers, for me it is like a connection to the alpine forests and mountain areas.
I love watching your videos. I especially love your humble philosophy of bonsai and teaching it, you are an inspiration.
You have been blessed 🙏
I absolutely zen out watching one after another !!!!
you are sharing your knowledge and wisdom i dont think it would effect your business , it will take decades for us to understand , thank you for taking the frustration out of the art
I am not worried if it affects my business ie to my detriment - but for me, money isn't everything in life. I have been guided by this philosophy and to my surprise I am able to make a decent living. "Cast your bread upon the waters : etc" verse from the Bible - That says it all.
@@peterchan3100 you are a wonderful person Peter. Thank you for all the knowledge you pass on to us. I'm extremely grateful for it.
@@peterchan3100 Your Philosophy is one of sharing, 20 years ago I remember a Kiwi (from NZ sphagnum moss capital) man with a huge bonsai nursery in the early 90's, at that time it did not have the artistic appreciation so I watched him sell beautiful bonsais and the business for next to nothing, Imported Japanese as well, I was too young then to do anything to help but I have traced a person who brought a majority of them
Now with your wisdom and videos I will buy them back and restore them, I also love the Air Layering so 30 years from now I will (cast my bread upon the waters) Thank you again
I can’t even imagine how you repot the whole forest - is it like repoting a single tree? How do you clean the roots - all at once, without dividing the forest into separate trees? This must be much more difficult than peeling the roots of a single tree. I think it would be a very useful video to show how you do it. Thank you for all your lessons, I get a lot of information from you
yes, once theyre made into a forest you never take them apart after that. the roots will be handled as if it were one
only if one tree is falling over or grows too close to another you might reset its position, otherwise keep them together
I do love the forests / groups, beautiful little landscapes and a bit more forgiving than single specimens !
I am so extremely envious, this man is so so blessed. I wish i had his green fingers and his bonsai's wow... love !
What a great tutorial. Thank you for showing the tricks of making the forest. You make it so easy. Someday, I will try to make one. You’re such a good teacher and so inspiring.
He makes it look so simple. This would have taken me days. Thank you for the tutorial.
Always compliments the beauty of the tree. Very nice to hear.
Even this channel is about bonsais but I am so much enjoyed listen how you talk and gave direction so clearly, beautiful teaching about tree and how nature they are. This is very therapeutic for me. Thank you so much for establish this channel on RUclips. You make an outstanding teacher . 🙏🏻😔
