      Heard a comment the other day which really made sense,something like “at this time if life seems normal your doing it wrong”
      If we all just slow down a bit think about and plan our actions together as the one true Race the Human Race we can all get through this. Although a true ammeter at Bonsai sitting with a tree in front of me time seems to stop and my mind becomes focused.

    Peter. Of course, I knew you would make this tree the perfect tree it could be. Perfection! And I love to watch you at work. You are inspiring. But I want to comment on your videographer. Who ever filmed this did a terrific job. I loved the attention to detail and the low angle shots were perfect! They showed more about what was being done than any other filming I've seen. It's like the person filming was as eager as I was to see every detail. When a hand reached in to clear the shot. YES! Perfect. When the camera moved quickly to get the best shot. YES! Perfect! Please give my greatest thanks to the one who filmed this. I LOVED every exciting minute of it!

    29:30 If anyone is trying to aggressively bend a large branch up, you can use a turnbuckle wedged between the pot an branch. With a turnbuckle, you can get very precise movement from the branch and if it's starting to damage the branch you can back it off for the moment and periodically tighten it little by little in the future. When trying to bend a branch down, you can use the same method by extending the turnbuckle and wire one end to the branch, and the other end to a wire that is holding the tree in the pot or attaching it to an extra wire you put around the pot.

    Hi Peter!! 👋😎👋 I read or saw that one way for beginners to learn what gauge wire to use is to take a few inches of the wire and see if, when pressed against the branch, the branch bends or the wire bends. Is that what you would agree with also?
    That is a really beautiful tree, I like that you do minimal work on your trees for sale. To me, as a beginner, I would rather have something to do right away than waiting a year to manage that years growth. Thank you for thinking of that! And thank you for all the videos you produce, they are very helpful.

    Beautiful tree Peter! If you shipped to the U.S. I would buy something from you sometime just as a thank you for sharing your knowledge in these videos. I know they are a lot of work in filming and editing. Do you find Japanese White Pines grow extremely slowly once they are potted? I mean slower than say a Scots or Mugo Pine. I have one I got from my English Professor's Japanese gardener about thirty years ago. Its trunk was about the diameter of my small or ring finger when I got it and about the height of the tree you're working on in this video. It is also grafted on Black Pine rootstock. I have not pruned it back hard, fertilize it two or three times per growing season, re-pot it every four or five years in a slightly oversize pot, and still the trunk diameter has only increased to perhaps the diameter of my thumb or slightly more in thirty years. I have only pruned it enough to keep it from getting leggy and maintain its height. Compared to other Pines I have had it just doesn't grow much. I'm not sure if it doesn't like the climate here or what. It looks healthy otherwise. I thought I'd have a tree about the size of the one in this video in twenty or thirty years, but at the rate it is growing, it is going to take at least another thirty or forty years!

    I was already waiting for the bag trick. 😁 I think it looks much better with those branches off.
    The back to me seems to be the most complicated part. Because in the front you want to show the trunk line and create pads which already dictates somehow how you do the sides but the back is fuller with leafes and not there to show the trunk but to support the look on the front, right? That's why it seems so complicated to me.
    Nice tree. ☺️🌿

    I literally would mall over for days what branch too wire needlessly to say making a major decision to take off an entire branch too cut completely off.. I have way to much anxiety and second guesses two work on such a exquisite Specimen such as this beautiful old white pine. I would easily pay hundreds to have a Master refine my Prized prize specimen!

    Son muy buenos sus videos en un nivel pedagógico. Solo una sugerencia, que no tape con su cuerpo el trabajo que esta exponiendo. Que se ponga detrás del trabajo que está explicando para que no se pierda el proceso de dicho trabajo expuesto en tales vídeos 👍
