Always a pleasure to see input from Padmapriya - he has such a relaxed and easy delivery style, and nice to see varying approaches. He would make a very patient teacher. 👍
After having a one to one with Padmapriya a year or so back, I can confirm he is an excellent teacher! I still use the folded wire method he mentioned back then too, so neat!
I've just started my bonsai journey. I had always though I would need to grow a "Bonsai" tree from seeds,. and every time I tried they died, or even never managed to sprout. I'm glad I was wrong! I stumbled across your videos and I was instantly motivated because I finally saw that I could do this thing that I've always wanted to try. And all I need to do is find what is already in my backyard. This particular video is very timely for me, as my wife has been wanting to get rid of the dwarf Hinoki Cypress that's been in our backyard for probably a couple decades. Now I have a new project! Thank you, sir, for your wonderful, masterful teaching. You bring this art down to earth where even someone as inexperienced as me can enjoy learning and doing. Blessings to you.
Hi Padmapriya, good to see you on screen again! I think Hinoki is my favourite bonsai species, their shaggy nature just looks so good and always invokes something much bigger! May have picked up a little Templehof variety at the garden centre earlier, might even make a video!!
Love you Papa Chan. I was just watching all of your videos related to Hinoki cypress, as I am considering buying a small boulevard cypress. Vert great videos to learn skills and get inspirations from.
I appreciate that Padmapriya points out how he manipulates the roots for an optimum outcome that I notice others do not point out. Spreading out the roots to grow as he explains, others wouldn't take that into consideration, or overlook in their Bonsai adventure. It was a nice bit of adjustment having him host his own sort of video. Thank you both. :-)
Thanks a lot for this video. I am in France so sorry for my English… I understand so much thinks after seeing it ! I was afraid of those types of trees. Now, I should be able to try myself to do pre-bonsai with nursery plants !!!
I preferred the backside of the first tree to use as the front. But I did like the process used on the first one and even learned something about wiring.
I had some wonderful hinoki nursery stock prebonsai that I was looking forward to continuing to style this spring. However, I foolishly believed the "deer resistant" label and left them unprotected from animals during the midwinter at my new place. The deer in my area made absolute mincemeat of them! Two of three are probably not long for this world, hopefully the third pulls through- but probably not usable for a few seasons. They were really hungry this year- a few of my juniper prebonsai were hit hard but should recover nicely, but they even attacked my japanese black pines! They don't eat the pines, but they bite off a few of the branch tips. Fortunately escaped serious damage with those, but I ended up wrapping my star pines for the rest of winter. Next year I'll have them all in an enclosed space.
I recently found out that I have a book full of trees of mister Chan, which I have in my possesion for decades... It's an in Dutch translated version of "Step by step bonsai" by Colin Lewis and Neil Sutherland. It's from last century, so it's barely holding on... So I have been fan for decades, without even knowing. Long before I started following you on youtube. I just wanted to share this with you.
Great video and liked the collaboration. Each tree is different and so is each artist ….. each style is unique and no losers. By the way, formal upright = the guards at Buckingham Palace; informal procumbent = me on the couch watching Chelsea lose yet again on the Telly!
Great little trees to work on, i managed to find a very neglected one at my local garden centre which i am nursing back to health. Do they bud back at all as there is a lot of bare branches on it.
Very informative, I used to find wiring quite daunting & frankly didn’t know where to get wires in 🇮🇳 so had devised which now I realise to be “guy wiring”, not with wires mind you but twine or other material which was handy😊 these trees became so beautiful & they’ll only get better with age
This video has come at a great time. I have just started working on the on I got form your nursery. I'm hoping to plant it on one of your beautiful Chinese slate rock formation.
One thing about Hinoki they don't back bud so don't clean off your branches too far till you shape the tree and figure out your final size/shape, I have a little mound now, time to dig in and see whats under the dome.
Have you ever tried the clip and grow technique developed in China from the school of Lingnan? Just a thought. Might be a nice video showing this method.
Im interested to know how you go about pricing your trees , do you take into account the time it may of took to grow or do you just price according to its size regardless whether its was field grown or from seed . How much is someone expected to spend to go home with a quality tree?
Mr Chan,, can you please tell me if Portuguese loral and cornus,, specifically dogwood are suitable for bonsai also is the Himalayan cedar suitable?? Any information would be greatly appreciated kind sir
Soooo Google translate isnt much help, but apparently Hi = day, No = of, Ki = tree, so "day of tree" however, if you separate "Hi no ki" it means "non-mechanical", and hinoki (all together) just means "cypress". You're welcome for confusing you all, I'm more confused than I was 5 minutes ago too. I know google translating any language not using the phonetic alphabet is notoriously bad, but I was curious.
_THANK YOU... _ 🙏 😔 🙏 Dr. Chan, so much "good stuff". I always have a question or two anyway. What have been your results when wiring to create Nebari? Sorry I have "Nebari on the Brain". An opinion about wire hurting a plant. "Plants want to be the best that they can be the most beautiful, the tallest, the sweetest flowers and fruit. In the quest to become a BONSAI, the discomfort of wire is like muscle soreness in the development of a great physique. Some can grow it, but most need a wire or two to get it." Thanks to Padmaprya also, it is good to have two very talented teachers
I notice almost everyone on the videos except Peter wear gloves. MaxFlex 42-874. Why do most of the workers wear gloves, why does Peter NOT wear gloves? Now, if I could FIND some of these plants in my local nurserys I could have some real fun.
Yes the approach in the video is incorrect. Interior growth must be protected and exterior thinned. Here the interior is thrown away and can never be recovered. The video is 'pom-poming' the trees which is difficult to revert once done in this species.
@@jg00000 that’s one of the big dangers in not being educated and blindly following Heron- many of his videos are incorrect which can be detrimental to a beginner
@@jg00000 So how does one correctly perform structural pruning and wiring without removing the interior growth and foliage? I find hinoki foliage to be so dense that I can hardly even get to the trunk without removing some interior foliage. I'm a beginner with 3 of these trees that I've been slowly working away at.

I like the idea of using thinner wire double. Useful trick.
Thanks so much for the Hinoki video. I always love your videos. You're so great at describing your progress. You're the best! 🤩🫶
Peter is the “Bob Ross” of Bonsai!
Love, love love these videos! I have a Hinoki that i have thinned and wired, getting ready to place in bonsai pot... keeping my fingers crossed!
Timely video Peter. I’m just getting ready to give two Hinokis their initial styling. Thanks, keep growing

I loved watching both of you work. The thought process explanation is always great. Better than Netflix. Awesome. Michigan USA
Tell Netflix that. !!

"Making the tree comfortable." Truly an "Art Form" ~ with "special" ~ "considerations." Wow! ✨🙏✨

Nice trees and enjoy watching pads thought process. Like the way you doubled the wire up the trunk too pad. Great video peter 🙏🏻
Very informative as usual Sifu Pete.
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 thanks Peter and Padma,
Interesting project with difficult species, and different stylists. thank you Peter just long enough for my exercise bike routine 45 minutes perfect.
Always enjoy these posts , so much to learn .
Thanks Team. Very informative. Just done the first repot on a Hinoki I got from you about 18 months ago. Doing well.

Many of those books use my trees for the photographs !!
Thank you both! This was very imformational! You are both so talented!
Thx for sharing Peter 👍
Hi, what a difference between two talked throws and ways. Nice to see 😊
I enjoy watching you both work. Thank you for another great lesson!
Very nice my friends!
Great video and liked the collaboration. Each tree is different and so is each artist ….. each style is unique and no losers. By the way, formal upright = the guards at Buckingham Palace; informal procumbent = me on the couch watching Chelsea lose yet again on the Telly!
Very interesting and helpful video, thanks!
Another informative video. Great!
I really enjoyed that video thank you both so much
Beautiful, very valuable lessons. Thank you!
Beautiful. Very informative. Thank you
I like Padmapriya wire thec very imteresting
Great little trees to work on, i managed to find a very neglected one at my local garden centre which i am nursing back to health. Do they bud back at all as there is a lot of bare branches on it.
Feed it well and it will come back
So cool! Thank you.
Inspirational 👍👌
So interesting 💙💙💙

sun field tree hinoki
Enjoyed the video, can hinoki cypress be air layered, chamaecyparis obtusa
I wonder if maybe the roots congest to the perimeter of the pot because they enjoy the heat from the plastic black nursery pots?

what combination soil that use for japanese tree
Hi. What composition have the soil you use? Thanks
I love watching your videos. If 'K'i in Japanese is 'tree', why is Ino-Ki an edible mushroom? Just a thought.
WoW, this is truly amazing. Thank you for sharing. Ladies please ask for help, anyway you can. God bless all, stay safe.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏☺️☺️☺️☺️👏👏👏, well done.
🌳👍
Mr Chan,, can you please tell me if
Portuguese loral and cornus,, specifically dogwood are suitable for bonsai also is the Himalayan cedar suitable??
Any information would be greatly appreciated kind sir
Portugese Laurel is possible but not really nice for bonsai. Cornus mas is good. Deodar cedar is possible but Cedrus libani is best.
"I'm just cutting off growth so hopefully it grows back later"
ok. lol
Hi Guys 👋🏼👋🏼
Kupchak Lombardi know doing this 🌲🥰😁

Padmapriya means who loves Padma i.e. Lotus, according to Indian language. Is he an Indian sir?
Buddhist name given to him.
Morning
When do we get to see a styling on a quality piece rather than all this £5 garden centre stuff????
Put the master to pasture. It is time.
I love your videos... but you really should invest in a lapel microphone. You are often very hard to hear.
Please get some microphones on the people talking. One can't hear what's being said and CC does not do justice to the provided content.
Hinoki can be difficult to develop into large bonsai, a lot of thoughtful planning of each cut to not loose the interior foliage
Yes the approach in the video is incorrect.
Interior growth must be protected and exterior thinned.
Here the interior is thrown away and can never be recovered.
