Japanese Maple Decisions Part 2 - Creating Exquisite Maples
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ม.ค. 2019
- This is a follow on video in which I take you through the process of how I decide upon the shape of a Maple Bonsai. We see different varieties of maple including the Beni-chidori (an easy tree to air layer) and the Deshojo (which has foliage that’s a lovely red colour). We also see the famous Peter Chan Split Trunk Maple.
With Maples is doesn’t take long for them to grow new branches and twigs so be confident and be bold when choosing the shape for your tree.
Top Tip: Always allow room for die back and always look at the base of the tree before your decide the front.

I would love to see an update on the 'new Peter Chan's split trunk maple' in 2021.
You are an inspiration.
I truly appreciate how you talk about your work and share your thoughts teaching the viewers the wisdom of your craft. I am impressed to see how much you know about each individual tree. May you be blessed with a joyful and long life.
It’s obvious that Peter knows what he’s doing, but his confidence allows him to be so “rough” that I find myself wincing throughout these videos while listening to him rake through the roots and chop off bits and pieces.
Time of year... maybe early fall you can be more mean to roots than you could early summer
I know I gard every branch with my life and get mad if gardners break one accidentally
The split trunk maple is pictured on the hard cover of the first bonsai book I was gifted when I was about 11 years old. I just found your youtube channel a few days ago and I'm so glad to be able to see your creations again. I will be 43 years old soon and you Sir are a childhood memory come to life! God bless you.
This is one of the best videos Peter chan has done.
His opinion on all these different trees is Inspiring.
I can't get enough of these videos. They are immensely useful and helpful in illustrating the many different approaches to take for each unique specimen. Thank you for sharing your knowledge so generously.
Peter, I had to pause the video on the "split trunk maple", that photo is worth framing, it seems as iconic to me as Hokusai's "great wave". Also, that's what you should make a Tee Shirt print of.
I love these videos, I have only one request,
Would it be possible to cover the “soil” you use for different trees?
As example, what is in the containers you are opening in this video?
Thank you Herons!
Thank you for explaining Maples weeping from cuts, not needing tending with sealant. Love seeing how you choose limbs and being told why
Another wonderful video. Maples are so beautiful.
That split trunk maple is stunning. Thanks for showing it
i love this variety pot video to see how to observe and created the impossible style of each! thnx Peter
This must rank as the best youtube videos I have ever seen; thank you for sharing so freely, of your immense knowledge and experience. I have always been attracted to the concept of Bonsai, but was entirely ignorant on the subject. I have already learned SO much from you and cannot wait to begin on my very own Bonsai journey. Thank you again and all the best!
I love how you know each tree and with so many you still remember after a few years.
Thank you Peter. I am about to do my first air layering of two Japanese Maples and your videos helped me immensely.
Absolutely awesome! I can’t wait for more of your videos. You’ve taught me so much and given me the courage and ideas to do. Thank you very much
Excellent video. Thank you for share !
You know you're knee deep in bonsai when you say "only 2 years ago" like it isn't a long time to wait.
When you get to my age, 2 years is like 2 weeks to a teenager. ;-)
yes, Its great, but also sucks that the tree you start will not be worth anything until you have long past. trees, like us have different stages in life. the baby tree has no bark. the child tree has its first layer of bark, (soft layer/light color. A teenage tree is when it starts to really grow upward and your always pruning it back. (this is the age you buy a tree for your yard) Young adult with in 5-10 years want to reproduce like crazy! and the most beautiful!. This is also the age where many trees start to die because of that. If not enough nutrients for the next stage, the tree will give up its life for its young. An adult tree has the most dramatic changes happen to its bark, It changes so much it wont even look like the same tree anymore after another 10 years as it changes color and shape and often looks like a different breed. In bonzai this is the best year for you, as these trees are now HUGE in nature. Every year after this we go into elder tree, this is when parts of it die off, but the tree continues to live. Long white dead wood forms. A lot of people kill off young branches to give the illusion its an elder tree but if you know trees.... you cant fool a professional.
@@devotae Who does bonsai because the trees will be worth something? It's the experience that's worth it. Fuck the money.
@@Johan-gn3op unwise
2 years ago you said this :-)
Thanks for another great video.
Maple and Oak is by far my favourite Bonsai trees. :)
I very much enjoyed this video. I always enjoy your content & your plethora of knowledge in everything bonsai. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
Brilliant video. Was looking at starting a couple of bare roots this winter. But I think a visit for a raw specimen and a couple of pots will keep my collection keeping me busy. Even better your in the same shire as me. Great advice on air layering too.
2nd time watching this loved it as much as the first time ... thanks peter.
17:22 I saw this tree in your book in the mid '90s when I was a teenager. I feel in love immediately. It is very similar to a Japanese mountain maple tree my grandparents on my mother's side planted from a cutting my grandmother got some odd 60 or 70 years ago, which was much later transplanted to my parent's new house.
Unfortunately, after 20 years or so, it has not made it these past 2 years and was taken down. I miss it dearly. Such a beautiful tree with so much meaning to me.
As a young and untamed rascal of a kid, I kicked it and split the trunk, but my grandfather wrapped it up and it healed. A part of my life that I learned from and cherished died with that tree, a tree I might have killed, but one that was saved and eventually died like any other tree might have.
I wish I would have saved it, but I never thought it would be gone. That is the last lesson it had to teach me.
Awesome! very informative and worth watching.
Thank you mr Peter for more information about bonsai.
amazing work with maples. Really a master of if. Arigatō sensei.
Watched this again, learned so much more, takes a few views to really understand the decisions and now that I have so many baby maples it's a great review.
Peter Chan is the Bob Ross of Bonsai!!!! A true legend
Wonderful video! Your voice is so soothing, while we learn the Art of Bonsai! You cannot ask for anything better! Great Teacher!
Thanks for sharing yet another amazing, educational and entertaining presentation, Peter. Cheers, Dick from Vancouver.
I love the confidence he has from experience. I cringe at how rough he is with the trees--even while knowing that he's done this for longer than I've been alive and knows that the trees will be fine.
Fantastic. Excelent. Thanks you for the Video Sir.
Fantastic video Peter.
Man I am envious of this guy. It must be freeing to have so many bonsais of so many ages that you have no inhibitions of really getting in there and being aggressive. He has no fear. But the end results are no doubt better. I am admittedly afraid to do much to my bonsais as I only have two, but I know in the long run it is better to go for it.
Good afternoon. I'm from Québec in Canada. This province produces over 80% of the world's maple syrup, a delicious sweetener produced by boiling and reducing the collected sap of maple trees in early spring (March and April), before the leaf buds burst. The technique was taught to European explorers (settlers / colonists) by North American native peoples in the sixteenth century. Just thought you'd like to know!
unreal video iam hooked mr chan 2 years ago I seen one of your video,s and now have trees thank you …
I abandoned my trees to travel, most I planted in ground, and I'm hooked again. The trees that survived are fat and healthy. But the potted trees, even in large pots, died and the sadness is as bad as if they were a part of my family. My blood sweat and tears.
Thanks for this wonderful video!
Gorgeous trees.
So inspiring and so Beautiful I want to try air layering one day.
Lovely video, Master Chan
Rather inspiring. I bought a young air-layered Japanese Maple recently, which has a rather skinny trunk. I put it into a plastic pot for now, on top of a piece of ceramic tile, hoping to encourage horizontal roots. After watching this, I think I might wire the trunk into some 'S' shape.
Thanks!
Fantastic video, very informative. thankyou.
thank you so much for sharing your knowledge about bonsai.
Great work sir. I admire your Bonsai knowledge.
Thank you ur teaching is Interested, learning skills slowly.
Hello Peter, could you kindly make a video showing how to develop new trees from field maple root cuttings? It would be interesting to learn your method and try my hand at this. I realize this is an older video so I will repost this on your latest video too. Thank you and be well!
-EJ in the San Jose, CA
Absolutely magnificent. You are truly a masterful artist. Thankyou for so generously filming all your processes. I am so inspired by your work. God bless you.
Very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks Mr Chan that was very entertaining
Peter Chan rules. I love bonsai!
I got some v reasonable priced acer this week (i snapped up a load of them) and im in the middle of repotting - they need a lot of defoliation and pruning to get the leaf size down and more dense growth. Great tip on not pruning back flush to a node -v good to know.
How are the trees doing now? It’s been two years just hoping for an update.
Thank you for sharing. Always good information and fun to watch.
Educational as always
Hello! Love watching your videos. Can you advise on the best soil for maple re potting please? Thank you
Thank you so much for the demonstration! It was extremely helpful.
Every tree is individual has its own characteristics... love watching you work on each of them
Masters at work!
Very, very good video. Thank you for consistently giving us good quality inspiration.
I very much appreciate it !!! Thanks Sensei !!!
Great video!
Great way to keep grandpa feeling in charge! Beautiful
Thank you Steve
The explanation was really AMAZING Sir.
Thank you. I'd forgotten that, to take the dirt down a bit to expose more taper.
As usual love this video. When can I airleyer this kind of plant. Thank you.
I have learned a lot with this video, I suscribe to your channel to follow up all the projects and knowledges you share. Thanks.
1:37 made me laugh, the branch shooting off was so dramatic xD
It was like "I'm outta here!"
Really nice video, and A+ on the audio again
Brilliant.
great video!
Have you seen any differences between plastic pots and geotextil pots with the tree grow ?
Peter:Where is the JUNIPER
Maple: I’ll never say
Peter:Nods, cut off another limb
Maple: No,no,NOOOOOOOO
Assassin Donkey
Peter: and that’s all I will take
Peter’s hand: trim, chop, cut cut trim
Lol. I love this man.
Useful video. 1. What happens with cuts? What do you do with them? 2. Can I make for a maple at the same time, replanting, cutting and air layering?
Thick branches of Maple do not propagate as cuttings - you have to use small current season shoots.
Thank you very much!
Seems people don't give much attention to trees grown from seed. Do you think that it is because people are impatient. Of course use any method /s to create. But I think seed grown in pot is special. Thank you for your great videos.
The guys and gals in my bonsai group, Florida, say they are too old to be waiting for a tree to grow.
Seed is not as slow as some might think, but then its all relative!
Never too old to plant Trees. When planting a Tree next generation will havest the Fruits. Trees mostly be better when Planter left for long time. Thats life.
If you plant the tree in the ground (field-grown) the growth will be much faster than in a pot because the plants can spread out with all of the extra growing room and more and larger branches equal a thicker trunk . Most of the the larger bonsai you see have been field grown from five to ten to 20 years and then refined to create these two to three foot bonsai (unless you air layer a thick branch from another tree then you're kind of cheating 😉) but all around if you are successfully interacting with a bonsai and keeping it healthy and maintained, you have to be at least remotely patient. 👍
my maple seeds have just started sprouting! and I have no idea what I'm doing but I have plenty of time to keep learning.
I'm actually surprised at how much joy I've received growing from seed. it's really special when you wait for months, and all of a sudden an empty pot sprouts cute little seedlings. When my bonsais are 20 and 30 years old, I wonder if I always look back at this time as the most exciting and precious? if I don't manage to accidentally kill them that is 😨
Interessante vidéo. Toujours l’obligation de faire des choix drastiques pour avoir par la suite de beaux arbres de qualité. Merci 👍
Love to watch the bare trunks it make you understand and appreciate the form more
Absolutely enjoyed it! Thank you!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video my friend. Your skill is much admired here in Winter Garden, Florida!
How do you encourage branch growth after you've achieved a good thick trunk? For example your new split trunk maple, how will you get the trucks to start making smaller branches?
Can you make a video about some of your favourite varieties of Japanese Maples?
I will do one shortly once all the Maples are in leaf
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you for showing the decision process. I have a maple from the nursery which has two leading trunks and now I know I have to cut one as it is not aesthetically appealing on this particular tree!
Absolutely amazing! Just beautiful 👍
When is the best time of year to create cuts like this?
That's nice bonsais
You are awesome!
nice video
Peter you rock ! Thanks for this video (and others too).
thanks fore the insight
Awesome
I just purchased 4 Japanese maples to bonsai. Should I grow them in large pots at first? Or plant them in the ground?
Great!
Well...you are a great man for giving us tips etc. Thank you.
when the grafted trees are mature do you air layer them off the grafts?
Yes you can
Please could you add the names of some of the unusual tools you use in the info. Thank you.👍🎈
How long does it take for a bonsai tree to grow towards full-size
Thanks
Amazing work and thank you for the beautiful explanatory video. When you have a maple cutting, very young do you suggest leaving the tree grow for a couple of years before i start cutting it down or is there anything else you suggest?
Hi, small, young cuttings intended for bonsai are usually grown on to thicken the trunk. This can be achieved in a container or in the ground (faster in the ground but a little more practical in a container). How thick the trunk needs to be depends on how tall you would like the tree to be. It's a long process though, patience is required. Most enthusiasts would recommend buying one or two trees that are a larger to give you something to do while the small cuttings are grown.
Good day to you sir, does maple can survive in a tropical country like Philippines?
