To be able to be around that tree everyday would be so healing. I'm just getting a positive feel just watching it here.
The person who bought this tree felt exactly that - Healing !!
I love the idea of adding the rock under that root. I tend to like "ugly" roots like that, and the addition of the rock makes it even more attractive. Great idea and video, thanks!
the "ugly" roots give the tree more character in my opinion. The one on this tree with the gap under it reminded me of a long arm reaching out looking to grab a hold of something.
I have a Birch with a similar root but I love it. Although I might try a rock to see how it looks. I think the roots add character aswell and make it just a little more unique.
yeah I thought the root made it look ageless..
Large bonsai are my favorite, watching this for like the 20th time now.
Peter Chan is my favorite bonsai master to watch.
I put our tree in that same style pot that we bought from you about 20 years ago. Now the tree is about the same size as this. It gets pruned a couple of times a year.
I know you for 2 weeks, but you make feel me like a friend. You are great and very sympathic. My Bonsai-Fire has reawakened!
but at beginning..its looks outstanding..
But it doesn’t look like a Bonsai...just a garden tree, and that’s the point.
I think I like the end of it.
It will look just as good maybe better next year
*I agree friend* the tree looks heavenly
If not pruned it will not look that good a year after.
Such a Beautiful and Breathtaking Maple.
So beautiful! I was amazed to learn it takes many years to grow a tree into a bonsai and even lifetimes of dedication to get the truly magnificent ones. I can't say enough about the Japanese people and culture for their attention to detail and striving for perfection in whatever they do. Much respect!
He's Chinese. Anyone who dedicates this time is admirable or good at wasting time.🤣👍🏽⛩
@@latetodagame1892 - I am ethnic Chinese but three generations in India. So what does that make me?
@@HeronsBonsaiUK Indonese LOL!
Wise buyer?
I am so grateful to you and this video! I just pruned for the first time, and I was not happy with some of the 'thinning' I did and have been so upset! This just made me feel so much better and now I'm so much more informed. And I feel that all is not lost! THANK YOU!
make a good clean cut at the proper place and don't worry. they grow back.
*Honestly Peter* even at the beginning it looks amazing something out of a heavenly Amazon jungle 💜🤩😳
I think it looked even better before
@@marcusmeb I think I agree, the root stands out and it looks so luscious. My maple never grows that many leaves for some reason.
Mine for my garden just showed up ❤
I'm picking mine up tomorrow, I wish I could figure out how he got the nebari. I'm sure it took years to do and I'm ready to start I just don't want to harm such an expensive beautiful tree
The only thing more incredible than how fast you transformed that tree, is the fact that you used the term 'jiggery pokery'! I honestly thought I was the only person on the planet that used that term. Hahahahahaha.
Good old jiggery pokery, popular in the 30s and 40s, old timers used it as a euphemism for banging away on old Darla lol.
Where has this channel been all my life!? Living for this lovely man!
We all live Chan, he's the greetest
I have been doing these videos seriously for only the past 18 months
@@peterchan3100 Well Mr. Chan, I look forward to reading your books to accompany these videos.
I have a Japanese maple 🍁 I will prune today. You have inspired me. I absolutely love ❤️ your teaching about this THANK YOU 🙏🏻. You always make me smile 😊
Lovely
Im intrigued with these trees this going to be my hobby.
I said that a year ago now have 26
Just this last week I have become interested in terrariums and stuff like this. I mean I always have I just mean dedicate a room or section of my house to it. This should be fun
Once you start you can't stop. Peter has got me back into the art. I used to be intimated with the rules and ideas. You should try air layering technique he uses to get older trees from branches.
To me that root looks absolutely beautiful.
I bought 2 of these trees about 2 months ago about 2.5 feet tall and wispy. I intend to keep them in pots. I hope they grow to be as beautiful as this one. Thanks for the tutorial.
P
Dont forget to repot.
I have a maple tree that grows with difficulty, and to see him cut branches that are bigger than my tree breaks my heart 😭
Before and after the cut, your Maple is fantastic!!
put some kitchen scraps under the soil
Soil is important. Grow it in a very big pot and it will get big very fast. Cut it back and later put it in a smaller pot after some years.
Just think of it like getting a haircut but for a tree.
Thanks for your great instruction, I am now heading out to give my maple a good hair cut!
I really enjoyed your precision and masterful trimming of a Japanese Maple, which few understand. Most people buy a Japanese maple, plant it and leave it to grow wild, forever missing the ancient enjoyment of a manicured tree in its human-mastered beauty. Here, Here. What a Master.
I have three of these one is about the same size as this one planted in the garden, would love to see a video on taking air layering on this tree, wondering if its the same process as other acers, I have tried taking cuttings but they didn't strike. Love your approach to the pruning, I need to be more confident when pruning mine, I keep them in the weeping shape but will start to be a bit braver this year.
They are not strong plants on their own roots. So air layering doesn't produce strong plants.
Amazing job! I'm a huge fan of Maples! Thank you for this video!
Thank you for you eye. I have a young over grown tree. I will use your technique.
Very nice. Thanks for the info. I’ve grown 2 bonsai. A maple and a fir. So fun.
Wow, you are so gifted. Truly a talent .
A pleasure listening to you.
Peter
Thank you for all of the episodes. I have 9 different dwarf maples that I planted over 10 years ago.
My pitbull and I watch you so much that she started pruning the disectum
the other day. Pruned the tips and ripped a big branch off😜
I had to put a chair under it to keep her away!
Thanks for all you do- summer pruning for me.
Jen and Roxy- pa. USA.
I thought you were going to say you had to put her down, lol
Thank you. Learning a lot from these videos.
Thank you... 🙏 😔 🙏
Dr. Chan, as usual you educate, from the roots to the crown and apex, no matter the length of your videos.
🙏 🖖 🙏 😔 🙏 🙏 🙏
Your feedback always gives me a lot of encouragement.
@@HeronsBonsaiUK 🙏😔🙏
Amazing I am a young person interested in growing and caring for bonzais I find the art beautiful unique fascinating and rwcently videos simalar to this have been constantly recommended to me i love your skilled work please keep doing what you do
Thank you so much for this video. It has helped me so much with pruning my tree. Very relaxing and helpful video.
That is one beautiful tree.
Beautiful tree.
That's how I do mine and the way that root looked was beautiful by itself but I still love root over rock that's awesome as well
Amazing !!!
What a magical looking tree!
Amazing work,,Beautiful,,,👏👏👏👍👍👍👋👋👋FROM THE PHILIPPINES🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
I actually loved the ugly root just the way it was. Beautiful tree.
10 minutes well spent, thank you.
Beautiful
If my small Maples put on more leaf, I am delighted - I couldn't bear to 'shave' one so ruthlessly. They are younger, but having lost some over 20 years, and some are 'uncertain' now I want to re-pot and cherish them. In NW England it is harsh so shelter is essential - but the leaves are their real glory.
Thank you so much Peter. I love watching you work, even on quick jobs like this one. I get a sense of the whole bonsai process from the collective of your videos.
I think I have one of these in front of my house.. I thought it was ugly and had planned to remove it.. now I might try to shape it like this! Thanks!
we love you, Peter! Thanks for putting down some of your knowledge this way.
Whoa Simply Beautiful
Nicely done! 👏🏽🌿💚
Put an oval rock between the tree. Beautiful tree. A true master at teaching!
What an artist! Be the tree…see the tree…make the tree.
A lovely way of putting it.
This is my dream tree. I picked up a lace leaf Maple a little smaller than this one a year ago. Next spring the roots should be strong enough from the transplant to start shaping. I can tell you in Maryland a Japanese lace leaf maple this size is $500 all day long.
that seems a little low even with the trunk damage and weird root sticking out. I'd say at least twice or tripple that.
Simply AMAZING!
Your truly an artist.
Beautiful tree 🌳
It’s so beautiful!! Also, that stone pagoda looks amazing as well!! ❤
beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Thank you sir for this lesson!
Thank you for this wonderful video. It was very insightful.
How do you keep them from getting green leaves. In my area I see people cut too much and the tree turned green. Loosing the RED color. How do I prevent this.
An absolutely beautiful tree
This is so helpful, thank you! I bought a house recently with 2 of these beautiful trees in my yard and they’re just a big mound of leaves. Can’t wait to make them look more like trees.
do what he did, just try to cut no more than 20 or 25% of the tree each year until it looks the way you want it to.
AMAZING!!!!!! Thank you for your knowledge!
Wealthy people can buy the product, but not the knowledge, and thus the true enjoyment.
I would love this bonsai, it's spectacular.
Me: Those roots are amazing.
Peter: Those roots are ugly!
Haha, I think people would have a fit with all that pruning. It's great to see all the different options and ideas Peter has. Very Inspiring.
Beautiful bosni tree like the color of it
とてもきれいな赤いもみじです！that’s very beautiful red maple😍
Lovely video Peter. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏
I wish i had a bonsai garden with trees like that
Well done, sir.
Thank you for sharing.
Is it possible to keep the tree smaller for bonsai. Sorry if it's a silly question.
Really Nice
Oddly, amongst all the magnificent trees I’ve seen in these videos, this maple is my favourite. It has a beautiful shade and with its trunk it looks like it could up and walk off.
Even your rock looks amazing.
So I’m love with this tree! Sadly I went into Herons website to buy some starter plants & trees but unfortunately they don’t ship to Ireland right now.
I had one just like it but bigger in width. It was so beautiful until we had a bad storm last year and a tree fell on it and destroyed it. I still get sad about it today. It was my favorite out of all of the trees and plants I have :-(
Fantastic video master Peter. I guess which kind of soil mixture may give such a great result in foliage ….and how old is the tree Thank you for sharing.
It turned out nice
beautiful tree... it looks like a tree seen through rose tinted glasses lol..
That is absolutely my favorite tree, I miss our maple, it was 10 times at least the size of the one you have there it was over 20yrs old and trimming it every summer was both a sad and happy time. Just like watching you trim this tree is bringing those memories back so gorgeous. People just dont get that plants and trees need love to grow and stay healthy!
Hello Peter,
Beautiful tree! I just bought a Inaba Shidare, but she is only 3 feet high and 3.5 feet wide. So young, I'm guessing maybe 3 years old. No need for pruning yet, but hopefully soon. :)
I was wondering what you are using for the pruning sealer (cut paste)? I'm sure it's natural, but I'd like to know exactly what you use.
Thanks!
Peter
I can tell that you love your work, it seems that you never tire from working with plants. Apparently you work on them for your clients even after hours at your nursery. To me, the best job a person could have is one that they enjoy, I have been fortunate in that sense as it seems you are as well. Beautiful maple, I liked it both before and after the pruning.
Not everyone is lucky enough to have a job that they enjoy.
Beautiful tree there cheers Peter, anyone else have similar beauty bonsai tree at home
Great info, what is the story of the beautiful conifer in the large pot behind the maple
I love maples!
Live it
my dad found a dissectum japanese maple in a reject pile at a greenhouse 25 years ago and he planted it in are yard. It's still alive today, and doing way better but in desperate need of pruning. It has a super thick trunk, and all the branches are swept to the left making a canopy.
Thank you! I REALLY wish you would have explained HOW to choose which branch to cut and which to leave, since it's hard to understand this tree with some many branches growing up, sides and down and some doing "U" turns! 😕
Yap yap yap, chop chop chop, yap yap yap, chop chop chop.. 😂😂.. Great effort
I love bonsais.. I wish i could come and visit you
I have two similar trees I will now attempt to trim after studying your videos!...One is 31 years old that was planted when our house was built in '93 but has gotten to be about 10 ft tall! The other is about 7 years old and about 3-4 ft tall. I will attempt a short video and will send to you.
this man is so eloquent
It kills me to watch the major prune of this tipe but this is his bisness and he's very good at it . I respect that he has much knowledge .
I loved the cascade on that tree, and the root too. It's a gorgeous tree. You really have the right touch. Exactly what kind of Maple was that?
Amazing, I pretend that I'm you while I trim my topiary!
Thanks for the informative videos! Is there a bonsai maple variety that stays red all year round?
Omg. I love this. I have two dissectums that i would love to have peter shape them. Im going to look into this but i fear it will be out of my price range!!!
I read that dissectums are in general very hard to air layer. Have you had success doing that?
You are right - they are shy to layer.
The joy i get when see a new video with Mr.Peter working on Japanese Maples
"I won't tell you how much she wants to pay for it."
How very intriguing!
A man purchased it in the end. Two people were after it.
