    Thank you for all the positive comments regarding the trees!
    The pine has now been refined, wired and in its new pot and (in my opinion) looks much improved!
    The Blaauws will go into its new pot in Feb and the recently refined Chinese Juniper, the same.
    I’m privileged enough to live just under an hour away from Herons bonsai, if you are local or around for a short trip visiting the UK, I’d highly recommend you find the time to visit.
    Peter has a wide range of trees for every level of ability and with a good eye you can find examples that you can take to the next level.
    Good to see so many enthusiasts out there!
    Enjoy your bonsai journey….

    Peter looks absolutely giddy at seeing his products be so well adapted and taken care of artistically and made to the personal style of the new owner.
    **Side note. Peter is half that man's size but his fist was just as big if not bigger than his. Tree pruning strength is real

    Each of these trees are beautiful. My Itoigawa Juniper will never be able to look like these, but maybe it's cuttings stand a chance. I'd love to have them look close to this in my life time. I told my son the other day that one day, one of the Japanese White Pines will go to him one day and the other to his sister. He already picked out a Japanese Maple for himself. They're both about 5 years old now.

    Peter another very informative Sunday morning video with a cup of coffee in hand, Thank you. As I have said I am new to Bonsai ,but over the last 10 months of watching your videos I understand more of the complexities of the tree, pot, soil , design , but most of all the pure joy in trees. I have made mistakes but I like that, it is not only about the growth of the tree, it my growth as well that counts , I will be down in April to explore Herons and to meet hopefully you and your staff . Thank you again

    I was lucky enough to visit back in the early Autumn during a weekend visit to the South, didn't manage to see Peter, but was well attended by Padmapriya who advised me on the purchase of a starter Hinoki Cypress and a pot for a Deshojo. Wandering around the pots was an experience. Really spoiled for choice. Waiting until Spring to repot the Deshojo and to start work on the Hinoki. Thanks again for the videos, they are an invaluable source of Bonsai information.

    Im new to Bonsi and that last tree shown, the bottom pad feels to heavy for me. In my amiture opinion. i think adjusting the levels would help to open it up instead of one, heavy, wide, pad. along with thining the foliage. But seeing that is what can be done in 10 years is impressive to see.

    What logo were they talking about for that third tree? I couldnt catch what they were saying. These trees were great, well taken care of, and unique. Its cool to see average bonsai owners obtain their own style, which shows you don't have to be a bonsai master to create masterful trees.
