      It is the no nonsense approach, making stuff that has been mystified for years, into a simple enjoyable practice for people of all ages and all ways of life. Peter is generous with his knowledge and he is a great teacher. I wanted to learn how to prune a Japanese maple tree in my garden and RUclips led me to the Herons bonsai channel, 60 trees later still watching and learning

    Peters my mentor!! I started bonsai when I was 23 (3 years ago) and because of his videos I was able to have confidence do just really mess around and find out! I was never scared of wiring after seeing videos like this on his channel. A true mentor and master to all!! Thanks Peter!!
    P.s I lost about 50 trained trees to a windstorm that tore through my greenhouse set up… I’m back at it after such a loss. Don’t stop the bonsai folks! Perseverance!

    The trunk splitting technique you used is not for the faint of heart. You’re design on the fly approach demonstrates your decades of experience and confidence. I’m sure many of us would love to see a progress visit of this tree in 6 months or so, to see how the tree is doing. Thank you Peter!

    Very nice trees, I am getting an appreciation for the literati, my friend with a nursery keeps giving me hopeless trees and right now I just repot to save them, hopefully they recover and I can style next growing season. Saw my very first raft in the wild, it was a douglas fir, I was wandering off trail (the only way to see interesting trees) and came upon it. Don't know how old it was but it's amazing a tree branch can become a tree without any wire or help. We are lucky to have some old growth forests around me, thankfully someone back in the 1800s decided to save some trees, most were cut to build a burgeoning ships harbor but some had the forethought to save some trees. Thanks for another great video to help expand the mind.

  • @kevinanderson9335
    @kevinanderson9335 Год назад +1

    Such a treat to watch a master confront a challenge with that Mugo pine hybrid. I wonder if you rounded off the insides of the split if the split would eventually grow out. Or, given time, take a graft from 1 side or the other = 2 trees. That was one of the perhaps most challenging experiences I think I have seen Peter up against since I began viewing Herons videos. This is why we watch.... Thank you, Peter, watching your more challenging adventures in bonsai I believe to be a better educational experience for the rest of us. That tree would have had me contemplating for quite a while prior to happening across any reasonable solution. My only other possible solution to the split issue would be to have filled in the split to hold it apart prior to wiring in the hopes of the tree eventually growing back over time.

    @tanarehbein7768 2 месяца назад

    I wonder if when making a raft you could make a thin scrape in the under side of the bark or some intermittent slashes at the joints to encourage root initiation. Then I would water with a liquid root starter fertilizer once a week for a month or so. Just throwing out some theries. Being spring it should want to make roots.

    Nice video Peter, thanks! Just a question about the raft- the actual 'raft' is normally visible but on your pine you have covered it over- was that to try and trigger adventitious root growth (which you mentioned isn't common in pines) or was it just because the trunk was quite straight? What i mean is, it may be technically a raft but looks more like a forest planting. Great tips for leggy pines by the way!

    Hi Herons! I know I'm late on this question but I do have one regarding the raft pine. What do you do with the remainder of the root ball sitting above grade? I imagine it will just die back and dry up but I'm always loath to leave sections of roots exposed

    • @peterchan3100
      @peterchan3100 6 месяцев назад +1

      Yes that's correct. If there are enough roots below the soil level then you can cut off the part which is sticking up above soil level.
