ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 เม.ย. 2020
- The purpose of this video is to show you what you can do if you have a large or ugly trunk.
I split the trunk of this Prune in two making two very different literati style bonsai.

i need only one thing in my life: an update on those trees.
Same.
This and €1'000'000
Not gonna lie... I thought a couple of times Peter had lost his mind on this one. But he's the master! Certainly method to the madness. Love it!
Peter - Just incredible. Please give us an update on these trees when they leaf out. Thanks so much!
@@lefthandluke8923 - I sure will. One of those trees has just been sold - ie - reserved.
“I’ve literally done nothing to this tree except split it” 😂
HAHAHA I can't stop laughing. I like how he still wires it xD
Gotta love this man! :))
Peter: "I think I'm going to do something drastic." Me: "Uh oh, here we go!" That did not disappoint! :D
"Now I'm goint to take my cleaver back and clean it because I have to cut a duck this evening....", I love this man!
I have been dealing with bonsai and the associated work techniques for around 35 years. I have never seen that anywhere. I am happy to have learned something new again.
If you are on mobile: I see a lot of this technique in the TH-cam shorts.
Here I am using tweezers to pinch the buds off my pine and Peter just chops his tree in half with a cleaver. What is happening.
The battle scream when he cut off the branch was impressive
This is probably the boldest decision in making a bonsai I´ve ever seen. Thanks for sharing this inspiring piece of art!
“Look at that beautiful split down the middle!” 😂😱😳
Now I have liter(ati)ily seen everything! Never thought one could even consider this. Thank you Peter for showing such variety in working with bonsai, it is truly inspiring!
Stay healthy Peter! We love you!
Peter's going crazy with this Corona virus stuff going on and I love it
@Dog Face Pony Soldier... price
When you've got as many trees as Peter, you'd be incredibly dull not to get crazy once in a while 😂
I'm surprised the trees don't die, of fright, when they see Peter .
OK, that one made me chuckle out loud at 1:00am.
I genuinely feel bad for the trees and just want to sing them a lullaby now after the trauma it suffered😂
I know Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot the password. I love any tips you can offer me!
@Korbyn Harrison Instablaster ;)
@Harrison Landen thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out atm.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Harrison Landen It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my ass !
Now that something I've never tried before,. wish to see more updates on them trees please Peter. Until the next one, stay safe to all...cheers
Definitely want to see updates on these too!
Amazing! Never would’ve thought to spilt the entire tree. They turned out great, so much character
It's amazing how much 'torture' a plant can withstand. I'd love to see this tree this time next year.
Read 'hidden life of trees'. Answer, probably. They grow away from things that damage them, justbas we would move our hands from heat. Likely due to pain receptors.
This tree will probably die from infection. Trunk innards exposed, roots messed with and branches cut all in one. Typically we say only one insult per season!
🤣😂🤣
@@leoi3031 - I'm trusting Mr. Chan on this --I think he would say the struggle creates character!
@@leoi3031 So do viruses, but they're not alive. torture implies there is pain to the object
@@leoi3031 You do realize you need a nervous system to have use for pain receptors? The fenomenon "pain' is a product of a nervous system, when you don't have a brain you need pain receptors even less than a fish needs a bycicle.
You see the beauty in a tree where others can’t, thank you for your inspirational videos
Ah the old Peter Chan meat cleaver trick, "HOY!"
"Trees that struggle to survive the storm" - but maybe not the hand of man, unless it's the hand of Peter Chan! Brilliant!
hands down my all time favorite tutorial on Bonsai. both trees came out spot on. it's humbling watching a master at work.
I'm quite used to see some extreme moves by Peter from time to time but this is on a whole new level :D
I feel like I've learned more in the last month just watching these videos than I have in the last decade of figuring things out on my own.
Absolutely wonderful.
I imagine when you have done hundreds of trees you get a lot of courage to try drastic things. I hope we can see both these trees next year. I am no expert and I wonder if the thinner of the two will survive. I hope so as it has such a dramatic character.
He is so good at what he does. I have a greater respect for the bonsaist that use what they have at hand. Thanks Peter!
And people laughed when I took out my reciprocating saw. Now I'll need to add a cleaver to my bonsai toolbox. Way to go, Peter!
poor cleaver! it will never be the same again! ^^
From a straight stump of a tree to possibly my favorite Peter creation ever! Quite wonderful and amazing!!!! Thank you Peter!!!
"I'm not happy with how this tree is turning out... IT MUST BE PUNISHED!"
“Punished with love” Chinese way.
No No - not punished but enhanced to its full potential.
Lol what’s your outlook on cosmetic surgery
We better stop mowing our lawns and stop producing fruit n veggies cos plants feel pain.
Don't you know that people kill millions large trees to make your tissue and toilet papers and many other things you use everyday.
That was so bold and interesting and fun to watch. I can hardly make the decision to cut off a branch or two when needed and you split that tree without pause. Hope to see the Progress of those next year.
That’s what a said a few months ago... you could make a beautiful tree or two.. out of anything alive!!! Well done Peter!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Master Teacher Chan can plant a broom handle and make it grow.
" ... struggle to survive against all the storms." so, that means Peter is a storm! A true force of nature!
Just when I thought I’ve seen everything! That was Amazing! Wow wow wow
Now these are two very interesting bonsai! I love them already, and would love to see updates on them in the future!
I wonder if the flimsy tree will survive. An update in two weeks and a year would be cool!
I accidentally did that to a Japanese maple and one half was fine.
I am going to do something "a little" drastic...That's quite an understatement....
Interesting video.
Well, that was the most drastic thing I've seen you do! Please do an update on these trees when/if they recover.
This guy ceases to. Amaze me ..no fears just a tree
Holy Moly, That's just amazing how he just does this. I never thought a tree could survive a split. The end result is just lovely again.
You sir... are a madman, and I love it! Amazing to watch you push the boundaries of what’s possible
Thanks for sharing. I began by making blackthorn walking sticks, ten years ago. That’s what got me started in Bonsai. I decided that every tree I took a stick from, I would gather some seeds each November, so I could give back to nature. It’s amazing that I cannot get them to survive in my garden, but they have taken in local wasteland., along with hawthorn. I never make Jin’s or Shari’s but they look so great on the blackthorn. Thanks again for posting.
Thank you, Master Chan, for the dramatic trunk splitting with your thinking and beautiful result.
"I'm going to disinfect this after I'm done with it." 😂
“I am going to go clean it (cleaver) and cut a duck this evening.”
I just love the humility of this Bonsai Master. Thank you for your humble, selfless, sincere and enjoyable video lessons!! Just what the world needs more of.
Its a good job trees cant run, there would be no trees left in the nursery, they would all of run away and be hiding from Peter the cleaver.
Amazing! I have seen trees, oaks and cedars, get split by lightening and survive. Looks to me like these will. Congratulations!
I have seen this twice and still enjoy what you have made from this tree. Peter I enjoy your video's and never tire of watching. Learning more each time. I now find another use for my cleaver that I never use anymore.
16 weeks of breakfast with Peter.
Stay safe
Stay well
The David Attenborough of bonsai
This is my favorite of your videos so far. I would love to see an update on these two trees next year. I look forward to doing this on a thick, plain trunk some day.
My first reaction was 😱 but then I remembered Peter did this technique on a Juniper I took to one of his work shops not quite as long but the juniper has been re-potted since with new growth on show. Just think how many of us have stuck plants/trees we dont like in the green bin, this is a new way of looking at ugly ducklings.
Lovely idea, lovely result! I hope you will make a second video on those two trees later so we can see how they heal from that "surgery" haha! Thanks for taking the time to share you knoledge!
Love all the videos, there so many it is absolutely priceless! Thank you for sharing!
Of course Peter, I enjoy the show. You never fail to amaze us with your techniques in making beautiful bonsai. I learned today from you on what I can do for my bonsai. Unique work of your hands. God bless you , always.
*Peter chan wakes up*
Let's split a tree today.
Mr. Maverick at it again...a meat cleaver and a log splitter!!! I love that ends the video with a comment, "I've got to clean up the cleaver so I can use it on a duck later in the evening." :)
It's so nice, I think I'll enjoy it twice.
Someday if Peter goes insane, how are we going to know the difference??
Bogo Togo hahahaha
Same difference !!
If I were to do something like that to one of my wife's kitchen tools, she would string me up by the neck.
Yesterday, watching the video about the Ficus, I heard Peter say "I'll do a little pruning here" and thought "Be afraid little tree, be very afraid." Little did I know.
I guess the social distancing and isolation in the UK is starting to get to Peter. :)
ted Kell lol
The lockdown has certainly given me more time to make the videos although it is done by self videoing - not the same.
I've heard people refer to bonsai as "torturing little trees," but this looks more like a murder scene. Complete CARNAGE!
At least it is better than felling a tree that's for sure !
I would love to see those two trees in a upcoming episode! Thx for sharing this... :)
Amazing idea!
Amazing execution!
Which both come with the experience and wisdom Mr. Chan possesses. Thank you 🙏🏻
I have to say WOW!!! Best one I have seen.
It’s refreshing to see someone be rough with bonsai. Took a cleaver to that bad boy!
You're like an old familiar uncle. Love watching your videos.
Congrats on the 150,000 subscribers. Love your content and philosophy. Thanks
One day I hope to have a fraction of the knowledge Peter has. I've watched Herons vids for a while now but I wasn't subbed. I just subbed. I love all the content.
This is an artist’s job and a master class! Thanks Peter!
Wow, I’m really curious how these trees will evolve. Amazing work!
Me too but being at an older age I will leave it to my grandson to see how this works out.
@@654wsj I hope you don't really slap your Mom but thanks for encouragement. I'll bet you end up saying the same things when you are her age - LOL
Now that's got to be Samurai Bonsai! I wonder if the tree is in as much shock as I am. Another Mr Chan original. Wow!
They look great surprisingly lol! The things I learn here always make me laugh! I hope your doing well and thanks for sharing.
@heronsbonsai I'd love to see a follow up on these now!
How wonderful, Peter! I've never seen anything like it. Thanks for sharing.
Sunday morning with Peter and coffee. Now off to go take care of my bonsai.
Everyday is a Sunday for me right now😉
Have you got a cleaver ?
No I don't. My trees are way too small to be split in the middle, I am still working on getting thicker trunks so I can give this a try :-)
Very informative and step by step instructions....thanks to share
Try using a mallet next time so you dont damage the cleaver. Just an idea since metal on metal with hardened steel can cause cracking.
PETER ! i almost had a heart attack when i seen you bring out the clever, i would never have thought any one could / would do this to a tree i was affraid the tree was ruined instead it was made into 2 beautiful trees,,,, be strong, be safe, and be blessed
russ sherwood yes my heart was pounding! Great stuff.
you are a genius Peter
Master bonsai to master chef...prunus to duck. I hope we get to see these in the fall and then next spring. It just amazes me how he takes something that most of us would have thrower on the wood pile for the campfire - and turns it in to something quite unique and interesting. I think it will end up looking like it was struck by lightening or a heavy wind hit it. Well done!
I would suggest to keep both trees near each other over the following months... May help with restoring their internal electromagnetic fields faster and aid in the final results. We definitely need a follow up on these now two trees' progress. Thank you Peter for showing us this technique.
Sir you are amazing, so positive, calm and nice person. I wish you all the best!
My favorite peter's vídeo.
More about carpentry but he's a genius!
I'm really curious about how are doing theses 2 trees.
Great fun! I am learning a lot. I am thinking of splitting a big mulberry tree I have. 🌲🌵🌳🍃🍀☘️🌾🌹
I didn't if know if I was going to be able to take all that punishment to the tree LOL, but in the... WOW! This man is a master
As always Peter brings something unusual in bonsai world.i would love to see the follow up.
This is amazing. Like a mad science project
That's a great idea. I've got some prime candidates to try this on! Please keep the vids coming! :)
It's ben four years since I saw this video first. I hope you will give us an update on this or these trees. What an amazing piece of art!
I would have liked to have seen everyone's face when Sensi took a meat cleaver to the tree, everyone must have had a horrific, wtf, omg, stunned, jaw dropping expression.
LoL
Froe or billhook would of worked the treat on that lovely split personality tree! You make the best videos, so glad to learn this!
Fascinating, another great idea...Thanks
I'd love to see these trees today!
Amazing that you still have all your fingers and toes!
This was really interesting! didn't know you could just split a tree in half! Thanks Peter :)
Going from slicing a tree trunk to slicing a duck for tea.....love it
The rain was an added bonus!
I'm watching this again and realizing I've been around this species my whole life. I equate blackthorn with the walking stick/billy club the Irish developed when England banned swords. It's always been a shrub! A coppiced tree, rather. Here in Indiana I thought I was cursing at some variety of crabapple or ornamental pear every fall and winter slinging a maul.
You just tackled perhaps the scrappiest, most stubborn grain on the planet, imho, Doctor Chan.
i worked for my chinese neigbhor for almost 10 years in his chinese (american) resturant. man those cooks are so skilled with those knifes. we sold sushi too. i learned so much there. they were my second family pretty much. i still know how to make sushi and cook all my favs (mi fun/ chow fun) only other places that feed you as well are diners and italian places lulz. thank you as always peter for a awesome video
I bet you can chop a roast duck well.
we dont eat much duck. chicken i sure can chop tho. not as wel as you chopped that bonsai tho
Brilliant!
Thanks Peter for giving me some ideas for a few useless trees I dug up.
Using a wooden mallet instead of a steel hammer wouldn't have scarred up the back of your cleaver.
Wooden mallet not strong enough
@@peterchan3100 What you need is a large wood chisel. Here's an example: www.amazon.com/Robert-Sorby-Timber-Framing-Chisel/dp/B00866781Y
Notice how it was already dinged up before he started. It definitely is not the first time it has been used like this!
A rubber mallet would have been ideal.
@@peterchan3100 I'd be worried about using hardened steel on hardened steel. Usually OK, but over time it fractures and you can get small splinters flying off suddenly, and they can be sharp and fast enough to present a real eye injury risk. That's why using a framing hammer on tools is generally considered bad practice. Something like a ball-peen hammer or a small metal mallet is made of slightly softer steel that won't have that danger.
