This guy is legit. Learning a lot. He also reaffirms a lot of what I already know. I am starting off with over 30 specimens dedicated to bonsai. I started to collect trees because of my interest in land conservation and the fact I don't like to waste. Most of the materials and specimens I use are all ones that would have been wasted and thrown away by other at job sites. I am so happy I can now turn native trees into works of art. Showing people the beauty of the natural world.
I love your kind and respectful world view that respects all people's uniqueness and the love and effort they put into their efforts. You're not just teaching us bonsai :)
My parents had a bonsa 40+y/o that died due to a parasite (don't know the name). They went to a specialist to get it removed and it did but a year after, it was back and totally wrecked it. Now we are 10 years later and i'm making my own Bonsai from cuttings and yamadori all because of you Peter. You are an inspiration and a source of knowledge. I hope you may live the life of an ancient japanese maple . 私はあなたに健康を祈ります
Such a beautiful story and I love how Peter went to great lengths to praise what Ian had already achieved with this amazing tree. I watched this with my wife and we couldn't help getting a little emotional how the story and Peter's thought process was revealed. I love how the drift wood created sort of imitated how a long term relationship often goes - i.e. the tree still growing strong - but with the odd battle scar along the way! Peter you are an amazing inspiration: who has this knack of conveying your talents for everyone to learn from. Thank you so much for producing these videos.
Thank you for listening to your viewers and including a before and after shot at the end 😊 This was a true joy to watch! It turned into a cooking show at one point😅 and I held my breath when he was bending those branches. This tree is a wonderful representation of their marriage ; now with a few white hairs and weathered the storms together. Just wonderful, and this tree particularly represents how Bonsai should be. Thank you so much for sharing your process and to Ian for allowing us to share this piece of his private journey with him 💙
...and here I thought I was tough on my bonsais... just learnt I am not using the right tools... need to buy a new "bonsai" axe and cleaver... After watching through this twice, I am no longer afraid of "manhandling" my bonsais. *Totally loved the process and the outcome*
absolutley! When you think about the super harsh coastal rocks that breed true bonsai, it is often knocked down or swept back and forth for weeks, if not years. I have driven along the Atlantic coast of Ireland a few times and as you come across trees at the coast, it isn't uncommon to see them grow in a helical pattern or in a sweeping cascade form, because what has bent or torn initially, provides shelter for the next branches. Natures wires are merely constant winds gales and gusts and sometimes even stones and branches or entire trees.
Manhandling Bonsai or Bonsai material is never the way to go!!! 👎Treet living things with respect...always! Look further around to get the right idea about how to respectfully create a Bonsai! This will lead to better Bonsai and will make you feel better and more proud!!! Hans van Meer.
Depends somewhat on your environment. Where Peter is in Surrey, England, it's Zone 8B and relatively humid. He can get away with a great deal more than someone in, say, the American Midwest - less extreme heat and cold and a longer growing season. Having your bonsai in peak condition (well fed, several years of vigorous growth for an energy store) before engaging in major reductions, can significantly aid in its aftercare. Aftercare, however, is possibly the most important part. If you have the right aftercare environment, you can do just about anything. For example: if you have a temperature controlled Fog Tunnel, you can pretty much take a tree down to a single shoot (species depending) and get it to survive. But I wouldn't recommend it. Ideally, you do the least offence to the tree and only one major offence per growth period, although some species, this might be one insult every 2-3 years. The species and your environmnent will determine what you can get away with, but until you really understand how the tree grows and what it can handle, keep it light - seriously, I'm talking like 5 years (minimum).
This is now certainly one of my most favorite videos, because it feels like I'm getting vicarious experience through the process of decision making. Thank you for showing us this tree's restyling process!
This really is a beautiful restyle. To my eye you have taken what looked very much like a topiary, as you said, and made it look like a bonsai, by applying some principles that I see you reinforce in all of your videos, examine where the trunk flares at the base, reconsider the front, less is more, jins where appropriate and conical shape. These kinds of principles equip one with a process where if applied, almost guarantee a good outcome. This video was a real pleasure to watch because I really could not imagine how you could transform it, but as viewers, we know you can do it, and you did, and it looks awesome. Thank you for sharing this ever inspirational content!
Master Chan, I love your philosophy on the beauty of a bonsai. As a beginner I try to make my trees the way I like it, following the determined traditional shapes. I really don't have bonsai. I have trees I am trying to turn into bonsai the best way I can. To me they are turning beautiful, and I really don't care that much if others like it or not. I like the way they are developing and I love any suggestions exactly because I am just starting. But I am not changing this or that just because. You are the best!
I kinda liked the branch that was cut back. It kinda made it look like the twin trunks were embracing not bonsai I know, but it seemed it appropriate for the sentiment behind the tree's story.
The master...he fully explained what he says and with no hesitation he moved to improve this treasured tree..I am impressed..the mans contemplation is well received. "It's too late to put it back"!! And I laugh a little when he uses a Chinese Chef's knife and a hatchet to perform the oh so delicate work....superior video.. I learned a lot. Thanks..
Interesting. Nice work ! In fact, I also love looking at the process as him basically punching the tree, breaking its tooth and then coming back to its mother saying with a huge smile on his face "I made your son more beautiful than he already was !"
Mr. Chang, I want to thank you for the presentations you do. Because of this I took a eight year old Japanese Lace Leaf that had been in a 5 gallon pot and put it in a Bonsai Pot. The roots that I removed were gnarly and some of them were as thick as 4 inches. I tried this after watching you do it on one of your presentations. The tree is now leafing out and appears to be doing well.
Your transformation of the tree was masterful, your appreciation of the symbolism of the twin trunk to the owner and your enhancement of this by redefining the front with both trunk viewed more intimately together, the tilting of the tree symbolic of leaning on/ supporting each other and finally the complimentary ' gin " on each trunk, symbolic of the small hiccups faced in their relationship as discribed by Shakespeare himself, " The course of true love never did run true " has added more symbolic significance to the tree. They're gonna love it
Wow Peter, what a transformation, I didn’t think that big awkward tree would ever look good as a bonsai, but yet it is now a beautiful tree that as you said looks ancient, the owner must have been very happy with the result, very well done 👏👏 thank you for sharing the process with us
Thanks for all your videos. I am learning so much of my new hobby. I love how methodical and slowly your talk, so I can follow along and make my notes. Your videos are done very well! Thanks again.
Thank you Peter, very many ways to tackle that tree, I liked the first idea, the twin trunks were a bit hidden but like a union of two people they become one unless you look around the back. Bending the branches was a must and made the tree look more to scale. I just trimmed a white pine today that is about 20' tall, it had become overgrown but now looks amazing, trimming the candles to make it back bud and fill in the areas that had less light. Some amazing nebari on this tree, 5 candles so I guess white pine.
Really good demo, Peter. You respected the trees history while bringing it out of it's shell with minimal changes. I really like the result and hope that the owners do too.
I recently converted a small cypress christmas tree into a bonsai tree. Still very young. It's great to see how it can develop over time. I'm looking forward to growing mine! Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you again Peter for a beautiful video. I love your open minded respect of beauty. We all see the beauty of something differently. I unfortunately run into a lot of haters of my art. Ryan Neal of Bonsai Mirai I feel says it best, “ there is no such thing as Bonsai done right, Bonsai done well is the cultivation of a healthy and vibrant tree. Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. Thank you Peter as always for teaching us what being true to our Art is.
It is a true pleasure watching a master at work. Thank you for this video. I don't know if you planned it, but that pair of seris (sp) at the bottom look like mirrors of each other. Beautiful, Sir. Have a Blessed Day.
I'm currently at the beginning of the video and I don't think the tree is ugly at all especially due to the history it's actually even better. It looks like the two trunks are trying to hug each other.
Bravo. If I'd have been given a tree like that to start with i'd say it was impossible without grafting foliage to more suitable locations. Watching you transform the tree was really something else and showed me I still have far too much more to learn. Thank you.
I'll probably get shot for this but Chamaecyparis will not bud back on old wood, see 29:38 just like a Hinoki. That's the reason this tree is so leggy - dieback of inner branches through lack of light and not enough pinching of new growth. The only way to get foliage closer to the trunk is grafting.
Bonsai like any artform is purely in reflection of the artist and the viewer like in music no two people hear the same song in the same way no two viewers see the same work. You can see this tree is very loved and appreciated. Great work with the jin I just did this with my sawara. Keep the great material coming 👍
You understand this tree perfectly - this is what any work of art should do - which is to create empathy in the person viewing it or listening to it as in music.
Thank you sir! I have a strong appreciation for art (along with a passion for the sciences)especially living art such as bonsai, from day to day the artwork is changing and evolving giving different emotions. The ancient Chinese monks who first started miniaturizing and replicating natural scenes definitely had a wonderful idea 👍
I'm gonna gift my wife a tree when we get married too! What an excellent idea. It'll become a family heirloom that I can pass on to my first born, or favorite child :)
Peter San, I discovered your channel while browsing for instructional Bonsai videos since this is something I wanted to try for a long time (but haven't found the courage to do yet) and by now I must have seen almost all of your videos (plus I ordered three of your books online). You are a true Sensei in the art of Bonsai! I love how clear and simple you explain what you do, how easy to understand you present principles and techniques and I appreciate how you encourage your audience to try Bonsai for themselves. It's pure joy to watch your videos. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. Would you be so kind as to do a video about how to care for a Bonsai tree some time after it has been wired and potted; how long to leave it as it is, when to remove the wires/rewire and/or repot? I'm sure your viewers would appreciate that. Thank you again for your wonderful work.
What an amazing transformation of the tree, hard to believe how much grace there was to be discovered. To me it looks like a tree standing in isolation in a savanna - maybe some baboons visiting it from time to time. (though the moss would not fit with that imagined scene)
among those whom I follow on u tube bonsai, you are my top choice because you are so eloquent in your teaching. thank you very much sir. unfortunately, I never had good success with juniper or any pine trees. perhaps becauase I live near coastal area in a tropical country. please share to me some insights about that sir. thank you and more power to you sir.
I'm glad you kept the focus on the double trunk. Just seems right for a marriage tree
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That's the quote to remember!
The first thing I saw in that tree from the owner's front was what looked like was a couple hugging. It was so cool.
i would accentuate that aspect and abandon the traditional triangle.
That's what jumped out at me. The hug is amazing
This guy is legit. Learning a lot. He also reaffirms a lot of what I already know. I am starting off with over 30 specimens dedicated to bonsai. I started to collect trees because of my interest in land conservation and the fact I don't like to waste. Most of the materials and specimens I use are all ones that would have been wasted and thrown away by other at job sites. I am so happy I can now turn native trees into works of art. Showing people the beauty of the natural world.
the creation of jins at opposite sides of the front of the Tree is spectacular. The music also. The moments are memorable.
Your genuine caring for the customer and the tree are very evident.
The before and after was nothing short of inspiring. Incredible transformation, subtle yet striking.
I love your kind and respectful world view that respects all people's uniqueness and the love and effort they put into their efforts. You're not just teaching us bonsai :)
I like this tree as is. Art never needs to be conventional. But you, Sensei Chan are a genius tree surgeon. Beautifully done
Most beautiful thing you've verbalize is beauty is in the eye of the beholder
My parents had a bonsa 40+y/o that died due to a parasite (don't know the name). They went to a specialist to get it removed and it did but a year after, it was back and totally wrecked it. Now we are 10 years later and i'm making my own Bonsai from cuttings and yamadori all because of you Peter. You are an inspiration and a source of knowledge. I hope you may live the life of an ancient japanese maple .

Every comment is so positive Peter san. I'm creating a Japanese garden and intend to include 1 bonsai and you have provided the inspiration.
Ray Smith one will become two, and an even number is bad so you’ll get another. And another, and another.......!
Thank you for listening to your viewers and including a before and after shot at the end 😊

Very well said - you are very articulate. Thank you.
I love this man. I keep asking why I am binge watching these videos. Its because Im secretly, but madly in love with this bonsai man.
I personally love twin trunk trees for bonsai, something about the harmony and balance between them.
...and here I thought I was tough on my bonsais... just learnt I am not using the right tools... need to buy a new "bonsai" axe and cleaver...
After watching through this twice, I am no longer afraid of "manhandling" my bonsais.

@@HansKaramottoBonsai I think Peter absolutely respects the tree and is so passionate about developing it’s potential.
What an artist! Not only as a Bonsai Master but has a teacher as well. Thank you Peter.
I love your philosophy about the bonsai tree.
This tree was quite a challenge and you did a superlative job of making the most of this material, outstanding.
I didn't think you could use the word superlative that way, but I learned!

I kinda liked the branch that was cut back. It kinda made it look like the twin trunks were embracing not bonsai I know, but it seemed it appropriate for the sentiment behind the tree's story.
I've never seen anyone use a clever to create such a beautiful bonsai before. So many thanks.
I learn so much from every video you upload. I love your concept of beauty as being relative to the observer.

The subtle changes produce something so interesting. It is such an art.
Interesting. Nice work !
In fact, I also love looking at the process as him basically punching the tree, breaking its tooth and then coming back to its mother saying with a huge smile on his face "I made your son more beautiful than he already was !"

Owner was sitting by the camera watching me do the transformation. He was very happy with the result.
Hi Pete! The pot you selected could not have been more appropriate. Excellent work on the Bonsai! Thanks for sharing.
Wow, the pot change really moved the aesthetic of the tree, great eye sir!
I absolutely love this man and his work!!!!! Please do not stop making videos!!!
Beautiful restyle! I'm a great admirer of your styles. I love what you did with the Cyprus and bringing out its natural beauty.
What an amazing transformation, I am truly bewildered everytime I watch you Mr Chan. I would love to have the skills & confidence you possess.
Thanks for all your videos. I am learning so much of my new hobby. I love how methodical and slowly your talk, so I can follow along and make my notes. Your videos are done very well! Thanks again.
You are a very good story teller sir. .. I have enjoy listening to you. God bless. From the Philippines

You transformed it into a work of art. I wish I had your vision.
The masters mind, is always at work. Thank you again for great info and inspiration
When the cleaver and the axe came out my jaw dropped Mr Chan you are Bonzai genius
what a nice outcome for the tree. it is very helpful to see your thought process for restyling material like that.
Lovely back story and beautiful restyling. I love the music also. Thank you
Absolutely amazing Peter in the transformation of the tree.
I recently converted a small cypress christmas tree into a bonsai tree. Still very young. It's great to see how it can develop over time. I'm looking forward to growing mine! Thanks for the inspiration!
Love your commentary Mstr Peter. Always insightful. I appreciate and enjoy all your videos. Keep up the great work! Greetings from the Caribbean.
I come here for free life lessons. Cheers!
Yeah I agree, it's quite interesting to listen
Me too🌹💜🌹🌹
I am with you
It's fascinating watching the Master at work.
A man of such poetry, beautiful.
Enjoyed this reshaping work and I just love the "driftwood" effect on this Bonsai...the Japanese music is also amazing!
Wow, talk about an improvement. Thanks for all your informative videos, it's really inspiring.

I think that this tree will look much better in the future.
BEAUTIFUL!
What talent you have.
Just love what you've done with this, sir. Thank you for sharing with us.
I appreciate the way you appreciate others point of view.
Great work, Peter!
Thanks for making these instructional videos. Please continue Mr Chan!
What a Wonderful change. A new beginning.!!!!💑
Senpai has spoken.
I got a lot of approval for my trees at he beginning.
Amazing 👍 . Peter, you have the eye of a master 🙏
Very dangerous manoeuvring not for an average person,But sir you're truly master with a brilliant vision.
Honestly this one was beautiful right from the start. Looked like a perfect miniature of nature
I'll probably get shot for this but Chamaecyparis will not bud back on old wood, see 29:38 just like a Hinoki. That's the reason this tree is so leggy - dieback of inner branches through lack of light and not enough pinching of new growth. The only way to get foliage closer to the trunk is grafting.
Bonsai like any artform is purely in reflection of the artist and the viewer like in music no two people hear the same song in the same way no two viewers see the same work. You can see this tree is very loved and appreciated. Great work with the jin I just did this with my sawara. Keep the great material coming 👍
You understand this tree perfectly - this is what any work of art should do - which is to create empathy in the person viewing it or listening to it as in music.

Can I just say, even if this tree is not conventunal. I absolutly love it how it came to you.
Fantastic thinking process! Amazing!
This man is one of my favorite Bonsai Masters.
First time I ever saw splitting the branch like that. Very nice.
My most favorite video from you. Thank you for sharing.
I like they way the tree looked. It's very unique.
You're so sweet, I have been addicted to watching your videos.❤️ Amazing how you do ...what you do!
