It is not stupid to be imaginative, practical, thrifty, creative and innovative
Yeah it's not. Those are different words with different meaning.
Again the Master showing what can be accomplished with near impossible material. Thank you Peter.
Hi Peter. These projects with discarded material are the ones I like to see you do the most.
Yeah me too
Great work! I expect most of us would "give our right arm" for a turtle back like that! 😁
And if you help Peter while he cuts the plastic off, you would certainly lose an arm 😅
The title for your next book should be “The Genius of Peter Chen.” You never fail to amaze me with your use of raw materials. Love turtle backs!🙋♀️
For you it is not a job; it is a passion. Thank you for doing these videos. They are both informational and enjoyable!
Remarkable. You are amazing, Peter.
Mr Peter Chan, you’re a genius!!
NOT boring at all! Thanks for the share, can't wait to follow!!
We don't think you are stupid at all Peter. You are an amazing wealth of knowledge, an absolute legend.
He is AMAZING. 😊
It is such a pleasure to watch your videos.
I think the most fascinating bonsai are the ones that would have been regarded as useless but were discovered and helped to fulfill their potential by someone who saw the potential in them! Commercial trees with standard forms you see everywhere.
Peter is the Bob Ross of bonsai :)
Thank you, Peter. Videos like this are so inspiring! Much more "feasible" to us mortals than the five-figure bonsai trees other bonsai artists work on..
I have plenty five figure trees here at Herons - we sell lots of them.
Very interesting, informative and entertaining. Thank you so much for letting us be at your elbow to watch and learn and above all enthralled.
It's not boring when it's informative... You're always informative.
Looove every detail, please do not cut videos short, I want to see everything, nothing is too boring. 😍😍😍
Absolutely loved it, thank you for explaining turtle back. You are an inspiration. Thank you.
Great Peter you inspire everyone in the art of Bonsai as a true master should, thank you.
Just want to add how much I appreciate the effort you go through for us youtubers. Thank you for sharing
Excited to see what it will look like in a few years
I wish I had your go-getter spirit! 🥊🥊🥊 There's no challenge you don't back down from. You've got more talent and knowledge in your little finger....than a whole room of so-called specialists. 👨🌾👨🌾👨🌾Can't wait to see what these look like in a year! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talents!🐞🐞🐞
Thank you for your kind comments
Sunday breakfast time.
What a great upload I can’t wait to see the progress
Thank you Peter. Just shows you can use virtually any material.
I love his attitude and I will definitely be looking into starting my own bonsai...or a few of them since it looks like it will take some time and experience to get the hang of it! Anything can be turned into Bonsai, nothing wasted. Great lessons to pass on!
I love how Peter explains. He might be talking about bonsai, but I use his advice to life and personal development.
The turtle back is a very interesting look. I really like it Mr. Chan. You are not stupid!! You have a very artistic mind. I love your work.
This is my favorite of Mr. Chan's videos so far!
You are an absolute treasure. Thank you so much for these wonderful videos
It's really satisfying watching you do the "boring stuff" to me. Thank you for showing us how to look for and tackle a challenge!
When I hear you saying things like: " I'm not as stupid as some of you may think." It always makes me wonder, like, what the hell did all those Purists and small brains say to you in the past? Anyway.. it seems like you can handle those quite well! haha
What I'm trying to say is: New development almost never comes from the inside of prevalent systems. It comes from Outsiders who are able to think out of the box. Best Example: Albert Einstein.. the whole Physicist Community was against him.. But he was goddamn right!
So many mindless idiots with nothing nice to say.
I looked at the bonsai discussion boards and ran away - a lot of negativity and judgment there. Peter is always positive and open about what can be done - and the comments here are almost always encouraging too - a nice oasis.
Welcome to anything Japanese. Thankfully Peter is from China which has its own claim on bonsai tradition.
That root base is a rough gem, no doubt it will become a amazing tree!
Certainly following this one. Please post this tree 🌲 progress in a year….😬
I love the way you find the potential bonsai beauty in the almost impossible trees.
This is going to be such an interesting project Peter.
Thank you again for sharing your knowledge.
What a pleasure it is watching you Peter.
Thanks from France for this video as all the other you made.
Who can think you are stupid.
Your vision of bonsaï is totally open on the nature and imagination.
I am a beginner in bonsaï (I have more young tree than bonsaï yet) at 44 years old, but every time I see a herons bonsaï video , I tell to me, do what you want with your tree. We have to respect some bonsaï rules but not to be closed in it.
Thanks for all Peter and I hope to meet you once.😉☺️
No one thinks you are stupid!! You're a master.Thank you for sharing your beautiful creations.
Yet U must keep your 'Turtle" back Maple, to see how it grows for you.in the next two or four years. Very interesting,
and I'm sure many of your watchers [fans] would agree to watching this mature right along. I would also like to thank you for the wealth of information of facts regarding Bonsai, and gardening practices. Again, thank-you!
"You must be wondering what the hell this is"
The man is an international treasure!
The eyes of a master truly do see all potential.
Trash to treasure. I don't think many people are growing material that good on accident.😍
I don't think it's stupid at all! I think its brilliant because they are absolutely gorgeous!
Quelle belle idée, bravo !
You can see the happiness
So inspiring how i wish i could grow a bonsai that pretty
Why work off the ground Peter, save your back and put it up on a bench.
Great work..
Stupid, are you kidding, you're a wealth of knowledge. I wish I had a dad like you to tutor me and to hand down that knowledge so I can hand it down to my children. I always look forward to see what your next video is about. Thank you so much for making these videos, I love watching them ! I've learned a lot. I knew nothing about bonsai, now I'm always looking out for potential bonsai. Thank you!!!
Beautiful work of art.. God bless you sir!
I cant wait to see what happens.
thank you, i hope that one day i can be half as good as you at bonsai ;-; i have been making bonsai for a long time but everytime i watch your videos i learn something knew thanks
Absolutely wonderful video!
You're so funny!
I love watching your videos, especially all of your outstanding experiments. It is the highlight of my day :D
Stunning as always cant wait to see the future of this wonderful tree/s
Sir,I certainly think it is worth the effort,becouse, this shows the percisrance of nature,I I loved it and thank you for sharing again.
That Maple wanted to be rescued. That is why it was growing branches so long, waving then in the breeze, hoping to catch the eye of an artist of the plant variety. So when the waving branches brought someone {U} near, it's lovely Turtle Back Nebari would be noticed, and it would have itself saved! {pardon my imagination, it does run off at times} yet it is how I see it.
Excellent way of describing this! U have a wonderful imagination!
Peter you have inspired me to do bonsai with local trees and try to use the knowledge I gather here and implement it on them, thank you and you are wonderful.
Inspiring video!!
Bought a bonzai starter seed kit though while am waiting I buy a starter tree from your company. Once I get to feel better I get a better established tree from your center. SO looking forward to getting my wee privet to practice with. 😊
first development stage off how we get the nebari to start forming and grow flat out and then the big root ball under it so trees look strong
Seeing potential in ugly trees is one of the nicest aspects of my bonsai hobby. Thanks Peter!!
After seeing peter' s collection someone wonder wow that's a great looking tree ,and peter will say yes it's just 29years old..like it's 29 months😅😅
Is that winged bark on the branches a defining feature of the acer campestre? I have been looking for it here in Victoria (Australia), and I have had the sudden thought that I have been bypassing it as possibly insect infested! (Looking for yamadori in the Goldfield region, and it makes sense that I have been overlooking exactly what I am after!)
I have to say, I love the idea of bonsai on the cheep. I could spend the $ to get a tree, but I love the process of developing one from scratch! More power to you, Peter!
As far as i know , these wings only appear in really strong growing shots. Doesnt need to be everywhere in the tree.
I had never heard of a turtle back in bonsai. I thought you must have found and used a turtle shell as a pot (which would be pretty cool)
love you
Turtle back nebari sure takes a long time to develop 😭, don't have any in my collection just yet 😁. Thx for sharing Peter. Next one please 👍 .
It's true 🥰 nothing is boring in Ur vid!!! Root is quite interesting. From these roots cutting uu make sevaral 🌱 bonsai's 🌵❤️ great 👍
Wow, I can't believe that field maple was destined to be thrown in the rubbish! Those lovely aged looking fused roots are exactly what a bonsai grower looks for. The weirder looking the better. I must say though, I don't think you quite got the full essence of 'turtle back' there. A turtle back tree is generally just that, a base that has the flattish oval/circular shape like a turtle shell, usually with a group of trunks on top of it. Like a group planting or a clump style on a large oval/circular base. That first tree looked to me almost like a raft style or even fused root style and your beautiful maples at the end of the vid just looked like really nice normal nebaris. I hope that doesn't offend as it's not aimed at being criticism, just my thoughts on it.
My Grandfather would`ve already cursed me, saying smth like why I'm standing beside him looking like an idiot and not helping him tear that off xD...
Wow ... I love the fused trunks - almost a natural braid with 3 trunks .... and the 'turtle backs' are certainly fascinating the way they grow ... Another great video - thank you!
legend
I recently found a pine bonsai (a natural bonsai brown on the side of rocky Terrain. It is quite a bit older considering how mature the trunk looks and it is actually blended in its own unique bonsai shape because it really was naturally stunted. I was wondering if I should prune it much this season or let it settle in its pot. I’m pretty new to bonsai thanks to you and would love to keep this tree perfect.
Right nobody make this man an offer.. I want to see how this turns out 🤣🤣
often while im watching these videos i find myself saying "buddy?!" usually once a video, sometimes i dont say it. its meant to say "buddy exactly what in the fuck are you doing to this tree?" but its not meant to be combative or offensive, quite the opposite really. this heavy handed approach appears to produce interesting trees and thats all that matters, it just takes very large balls and a lot of experimentation.
I like your frank opinion buddy.
These videos are fantastic. Thanks to you, I just started a cedar and a maple from saplings along the foundation of my house. The maple has a very beautiful natural spiral to the base of the trunk, looks promising!
Peter Chan is amazing, but if he comes to my house I will hide my tools!
I noticed he is a bit rough. As i am.
He's so nonchalant about material objects.
Have the axe ready or a Chinese cleaver.
Whoever said you are stupid needs to rethink their craft. No art form is ever fully developed, it needs open minds to flurish and your beautiful trees show that
How do you create a nice nebari on trees like techniques behind how to make and expand and developed it
Thick roots are not good for anyone, except me! 😂 This episode was fantastic Peter I hope to be back at the nursery soon
Sir, under no circumstances would we ever think of you as stupid... You are awesome. A Master bonsai maker... The one who teaches us thing's we would never think of.. You , sir, are a genius . I am honored by the mere chance of discovering your channel when I did some months ago..
This looked painful to watch. Please take care of yourself, Master Paul, so you can be around to make these plants big and strong.
I look forward to visiting your nursery on the 21st of June (my birthday). I’ll be there about 11am would be great to say hi and thank you for all the content . I managed to find a copy of bonsai masterclass. I’ll be reading that on my time off. Enjoy the sunshine Peter.
Our Nursery has been open to the public since 12 April - no need to wait till 21 June.
@@peterchan3100 the 21st is my birthday 😁
Great call saving that plant. I can't wait to see what you have in store for the tree as well as your audience. Please don't refer to yourself as stupid. It insults your intelligence. Nothing you say falls on deaf ears. If it ever does I can rewind the video. Lol! We love you and your nursery Peter.
Very interesting. In Bonsai ugly means beautiful. Thank you Peter.
Okay I am finally convinced. I think I will give bonsai a try. But while watching all your videos I was wondering one thing.
When you start with saplings that you find outside in your garden, what is the right watering for them? Like, if they would be staying outside, most certainly the only watering they get is the nature's rain. Since you pot them in trays or pots, do you water them on a regular base or just now and then, like raining would do to them?
I hope you understand what I mean and can give me an answer :)
Kind greetings from Germany!
Don't be timid - just water those saplings in the normal way. If you dug them up with enough root then they should survive well.
"My staff were going to throw it on the bonfire" 😱
You are a great teacher, I am a big fan of yours...I am very much new to bonsai...I have few plants which I want to convert in a bonsai....is there any way to seek your expert opinion on those plants of mine
That spiral root is absolutely beautiful! So grafical!
Bad-ass!
If I thought you were stupid I would not watch. This is inspiring.
Everything IS interesting! Love to see you in Progress :)
Thank you it's a great video
Peter, I honestly can't thank you enough for the content you provide. I love your videos and the inspiration you provide. The philosophy you inadvertently show is one that is really changing the way I think of the future in my life. Just thanks so much.
Thats great to know and good luck in your life's journey
I literally just came from a snooty forum where I asked about using one of 2 Bloodgood maples I have coming as a bonsai. All I got from them was negativity because "there's so many reasons to not bonsai a Bloodgood." Close minded exclusivity at work.
There is always a first time for everything!! You just do what you enjoy.
@@peterchan3100 Yeah, not like I'm the first anyway, I've seen lots of very nice examples.
Thanks for your time. This was a great video 👍
Another great learning video Peter, thank you!!
You're a genuine Master of Bonsai. Thank you so much for teaching us so many things. Can you show tricks and tips on tropical trees, Peter?
I wish I could but I don't have many tropicals here. I only have Ficus retusa
@@peterchan3100 it's ok. How about styling a small azalea tree,styling it ,pruning it. Then keep on updating it. Whenever I trim azalea the branches just die ,No new buds . I know you can do it. Thanks.
I watched many other videos of yours today and also this Mr Chan. Thanks for showing us and emphasising that plants just want to live and grow under almost all conditions. One kills them rather with too much care, but if you let them be, they grow. Propagation on a budget as well with air layering, ground layering, seedlings in the ground, cuttings, root cuttings, just everything can make a new plant. Nothing of that snobby stuff you see elsewhere with the "bonsai master" with his 30K EUR sheers in a leather case, but how you can do beautiful trees as common folk.
You dont know what's possible till you know what's possible
Great vid as always but why do you in nearly every video victimize yourself? Pretty much no one here is criticizing you. It's so tiresome to hear it so often, it leaves a sour taste watching your videos.. Im just here to learn.
He isnt playing a victim. It's a way to show even he gets criticism so if the person following his way, style, or philosophy should not care when they come across critics. In a video he is drawing on a lifetime's worth of knowledge and experience being self taught I'm sure there was plenty of critics in his journey.
I am not trying to victimise myself as you say but its just to give you an idea that there are some people who feel that way about my approach to bonsai - either because of envy or some other agenda.
You’re amazing
