    Now we all know Peter is amazing and a master bonsai artist/teacher. I'd let him do the exact thing to any of my trees, without question. However, during the Azalea trim, I could feel that man's soul leaving his body for a quick second.😅

    Hi Peter as far as I am concerned this video is one of your best for analysis of trees, each tree had options which you pointed out to the owner, every tree was improved by the end, after the video I went out to my trees and looked closely at each one of the 80 odd trees I own. The larch proved the most eye opening of all, I went to have a look at my Large old Japanese Larch in the rain and studied it in detail and made some radical changes and hopefully style improvements, that’s not to say I will be doing the same with all my trees over the next few days. So once again thank you Peter for such a useful video,I hope you can do more like this one some time. Joe.

    For someone who is just now having an interest in this subject, this is one of the best. It is because it is helpful to hear Peter’s reasoning and how he goes about making it and although some of the cutting seems so extreme, at the end he has created a beautiful living art piece.

    I have a crazy idea I'd like to run past you. I planted a weeping birch in my yard almost 30 years ago. At first I had it fenced, but somehow the moose seemed to be able to nibble the branches anyway. Now, it is about 5 feet tall and maybe 7 inches in diameter at the base.
    Is there any way to turn it into a bonsai?

    I have just dewired my larch because of sap flow and the buds starting to open for spring, if I didn’t do this then the wire would cut into the tree, as I learned from last year I lost a couple of branches with this mistake, and im going to rewrire it again when it’s dormant in autumn/winter, so am I missing something here thinking that the wiring that has just been done will now cut into this customers tree?, I know it was mentioned that the wire can be kept on to help age the tree leaving scaring but it could also cause some serious damage. Also I find wiring the most stressful of all not therapeutic at all for me 😂

    Sir thank you much for the ideas that you share in RUclips and I am learning quite a bit about bonsai and now trying my best to grow bonsai at my home. I would like to read your books and also I searched you book on internet and they are very expensive especially for Indian buyers like me. The per book cost comes more than Rs.1000 (Thousand Indian Rupees) which is unaffordable for me. One small request, if possible, it cant be reduce to at least Rs. 200 to Rs. 500 in Indian Market?

    Getting over the fear of as Peter says "Be Bold", I always try to push my beginner bonsai students to think outside the box, that's what makes a bush or shrub into a tree. Always relaxing to see your videos, specially in this repotting time, it can get very boring potting young trees, but it's time to keep or bin them, if a 3 year old pine doesn't have a nice nebari, time to give it away as a yard tree. I can't take care of them all, I just did a 100 JBP cuttings today, I am learning to spend my time on the best material, lucky Master Chan has thousands of excellent material to choose from. These videos will be watched for a century, thank you for all the effort Peter!
