Hi, Peter. Please don't think you're boring us, or that the videos don't have value with less views. In the videos where you zip around a tree and produce a bonsai in 20 minutes, you are providing entertainment. In a video like this, where you are talking through the 'mundane' and your decisions, you are providing an education. So, please, keep sharing some of these processes where possible!
One of these days - some one will say that these repetitive videos are boring.
@@peterchan3100 no they won't because if they found them boring they are not a bonsai enthusiast
@@peterchan3100 Perhaps that's true, but for that one person who thinks it's boring, there's a dozen bonsai enthusiasts who are deeply invested and eager to learn.
Peter, Your videos are always parts botany lesson, part engineering, and always artist. But frankly, I think you could make a video about making a cup of tea and have a loyal following. Thank for sharing life lessons "just be bold....CHOP". Hello from central Texas, U.S.A.
Mr Chan is awesome. I love his conciense and his ethics. Thank God people like him exist that they create a bonsai and not stealing them from nature like the latest bonsai movement we are experiencing destroying what we should just appreciate and not trying to obtain or worse use for profit.
Please don’t stop. We’re learning a lot. Stay safe...
That last small one did have a lot of character.
A passionate man at work...with years of experience.
Dear Mr. Chan and Heron's staff, in the last few months I read a lot about Bonsai and practiced with many planst, but I really learned the most by you precious videos, so that my Bonsai look quite nice. Thank you so much!!! Stay safe and many greetings from Germany!
I know Im asking randomly but does anyone know a tool to log back into an instagram account?
I was stupid forgot my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me
@Bryan Nasir Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Bryan Nasir It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much you really help me out!
@Desmond Fox No problem xD
It's amazing that you know every one of the trees you grow.
Josh is great behind the camera, always trying to let us have a good look while not interfering with Peters work too much - amazing job!
Great point, actually. The camera work is always top-notch.
Thank you- Josh please see the nice comments.
Nice try Josh
Appreciate the video frequency, Peter!
I personally enjoy seeing the same operations, the similar thought processes repeated. I never get tired of testing my own sensibilities as I watch you wield the clippers. don't worry about boring me!
I am absolutely hooked on your videos! I want to do and have a bunch of different bonsai in different stages.
That last one would make a beautiful shohin someday, thx for sharing Peter and stay safe to all. Can't wait for the next one..
My sketches and paints are many, yet every one is different. As with your trees, different techniquies, different trees, each one an individual work of art. Not Boring. Please continue. Thank-you .
Peter, I really enjoy your maples videos. You have fabulous trees. Thanks for brightening up my evening!
Never boring Peter!
😀. 😷
Love watching Peter work...keep them coming....lol
I am very grateful for your videos. You have a great outlook on life and impact with art merged with nature.
It is not "mundane" but quite a good class! Your talking about pruning the maple with the dead apex helps me learn how to prune my regular size trees in my garden. Thanks!
Dear Peter, is it possible to see a video where you explain and show the different Bonsai types? Would be much appreciated.
Hello Mr. Chan
Can you do an update on the Oak you show us a few months before ?
Thank you for uploading so frequently.
thank you for the leason, them maples sure looked beautiful, be strong, be safe, and be blessed
Thank you Russ
This is amazing - it looks like Mr. Chan is just doing some random cuts, but when he's done, it looks just perfect!
Bonsai genius...professor you are.
How wonderful a Peter Chan video to watch, working on my favourite Maples, such beautiful trees.
My acer seeds i purchased from you a few months ago are growing strongly, I must have at least 100 growing!
There you are - Easy to grow maples from seed but you have green fingers !
I hope one day to develop the unconscious competance you have in bonsai Peter. One tree after another with meticulous skill
This is no less than meditation.
You are the only you tuber who I trust for the best advice. I have a larch 12 feet tall that was thrown away from a new landscaping at a new subdivision. I brought it home and it is surviving. However, it won't survive the heat in Florida. Can I cut it back and make a large trunk bonsai?. I was thinking making a snag at the top by cutting and tearing the top. It's already root pruned because that's how they plant them without care for the tree. I also saved a 10 foot birch triple trunk and beautiful triple trunk crepe myrtle!
Thank you for your kind words - RE - your larch - give it a go as it might survive although Larches like cold climatic conditions. You seem to be green fingered, so best of luck.
@@peterchan3100 thank you, Mr. Chan I will keep you posted.
It's my birthday and there's an update from Herons! Why thank you, sir :D
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday to you.
Did you have a cake ?
@@craighunter3273 One on Friday (Lemon cake) and another one on Sunday (Maple syrup + pecan nuts). You gotta treat yourself :D
"My short dumpy little tree." :D :D
" But whata it is? Trees are always beautiful no matter what" thx for all the vids.
Precious contents as always! Cheers from Italy
Nice video, I'm a fan of Maples and see how they are worked in beautiful bonsai, what a marvel.
Greetings from Portugal.
Peter thanks for another informative video. I have a few Maples i put in the ground in pots over the winter. They're getting tall and in need of chopping....I'm never sure on where to chop, but after watching your videos, I do feel much more confident....I love your approach to cutting and chopping....Thank you once again...
Loved this one peter thanks 🙏🏾
Inspirational as always. Thanks
love ya vids learning a lot did my first small christmas tree yesterday not bad hard to do but u make it look easy thanks
Hello Peter. You are very dear to us. Getting thru this pandemic has been helped greatly with all your videos. Thanks for these gifts. On the trident video tree that you fused to the trunk to correct the root over rock nebari made me wonder if you have ever experimented by increasing the planting depth of a tree rather than starting over with an airlayer to correct inverse taper. Karl
All the books say that liverwort is a sign of poor drainage, but I agree with you Peter, that pots with really well drained soil can still have excessive liverwort growth. I think liverwort just grows in any condition.
Peter, those two trees you are putting into larger pots are going to be awesome. Any chance of a video showing the finer details of stopping new grow to encourage finer ramification on maples?
I will during the coming year.
Peter looking forward to it, now go and get a good nights sleep.
Thank You
Hi Peter, have you ever done a jacaranda bonsai? It would be cool to see a video on one or including one.
Wish I could buy that last one!
Email our office - we might sell you this one.
Thanks again Peter
Great video. Left a like. Do you ever do detailed work like alternative branching. Left a like
Hello Mr. Chan, Thank you for all the videos and lessons you share! If it’s possible I would like to hear your thoughts and maybe tips on olive tree made into a bonsai. Kind regards!
It would be interesting if you showed how the bonsai has changed during these months😉
Love the new video!
Great video!
Could u do a video on growing and shaping the Japanese maples that u buy at the big box stores. The ones that are tall and lanky with no character. I have one I put in the ground about 5 years ago. I’m either going to air layer the top or chop it to get a new leader
What kind of fertilizer do you feed your bonsais
We use a variety of fertilisers - See the video on Feeding bonsai
Is it possible to make a video about pruning, shaping a dissectum maple?
How long will it take for the wire scars to heal or will they ever?
Hi Sir Peter, what is the name of that pot you used, is that a pot mesh? what is the exact name, and where can we buy that? Thank you👍
What kind of crate is the maple sitting in?
I'm first💪
Can you make a video on clump style bonsai
are most of your maples grown in sphagnum moss?
Hello from North Carolina USA. Always enjoy watching how you work on feild grown maples. Do you thread graft on any of your maples?
I do sometimes but easier to grow a new branch.
2nd 🤩
please make a video abaut mame or shonin bonsai
Hi Peter thank you for all these great videos. Some of my maple seedlings sprouted to about 5 cm tall but one morning I saw a couple of them bend and completely fall down at the place where they come out from the soil. One of them has already died and I'm trying to save another one by propping it up. Have you seen seedlings behave this way before?
Are you covering them up in a bag or enclosed in a propagator? Send me a pic - could even be mold
@@peterchan3100 thank you for responding! I'm not covering them w/ anything they are in pots in my backyard. I sent the photos to sales@herons.co.uk I couldn't find your personal email.
Come to think of it the other one that fell over was also in that same pot. Maybe it is some type of mold in there.

@peter Chan, do you have any blue Alps junipers? Would like to see pruning refinement techniques, densifying pads. I have a few and have my own techniques but have never seen how anyone else treats them. Many thanks
I have never liked this juniper - I prefer the old J.squamata Myeri - we have lots of these as huge field grown trees with 4" to 8" Did trunks. Interested?
I have squamata too but find them more difficult to work on because of their less compact growth habit and the way they hang on to their old dead needles makes them look a bit scruffy. Also I find blue Alps much more vigorous which is great during development but becomes a little troublesome when in refinement as I have to trim mine twice a year and am always worried I will weaken the tree but so far there is no sign of it. I pretty much treat them like tosho but try to leave about half the growing tips each trim. Thanks for the reply 👍
New subscriber here. Amazing videos. Bought my husband a juniper bonsai from you a few years ago via internet. It’s still doing well. Quick question. You mention inverse taper? ! Could you explain what that means. Tia. Am enjoying watching your library of videos. Regards . Lesley
inverse taper means when a part of the trunk is thicker than the base or a part below it , which is quite undesirable. normally you would get a decline in thickness the higher up the tree you go. this could also appear on parts of the tree where more than 2 branches come out from the same spot, you would get a swelling on that part, which is not wanted as well. hope that helps :)
See some of my other videos - I explain this many times over.
Doesn't pruning maple in the spring cause bleeding?
Yes - but it soon stops. Nothing to worry about.
Sir , Would it be possible to grow Japanese white pine in India ? If yes from where I can get the tree ?
The answer is NO - May be in the hill stations of Himachal. you need cold climate
@@peterchan3100 OH !! - is there any species of Pine which can be grown in India , I have one black pine about 10 years old & still alive. If you kindly guide me.
I'm sure it's easy to cut like a madman when you have thousands of trees to deal with. Do you ever consider the customer who can only own one tree and is worried about doing it wrong?
As an amateur, i am so careful handling my trees. It makes me cringe and wince as you so confidently prune.
