"Look at this white pine. If a tree has ever lost its way, it's this one." Aaaw you and me, tree. You and me. 💙
“If you deal with a problem one at a time, they will all sort themselves out”. Sage advice for bonsai and life from Peter.
I was about to write the same thing. 😊
Except dealing with them requires you taking action and that is the opposite of them sorting themselves out. Advice that contradicts itself is bad advice by any standard.
Chrissy you must be a blasty blast at parties.
@@scottwhitehead5919 That was my first thought when I read his reply.
True wisdom
“If you think you know everything then i think you know nothing”
This man is so quotable
'If ever a tree has lost its way, it's this one' 😂😂 epic
🎉
The owner of these plants deserves a round of applause. She has kept them alive. It's the first rule of bonsai. I know that if she continues to watch and learn from Peter, as I do, she will be able to achieve better aesthetic results. Thanks to the professor. We greatly appreciate your plant wisdom and wise words.
Peter has used the same tube of sealant in every video for 7 years, always squeezing the last bit out. That’s some advert for the company that produces it, it’s a never ending tube.
NO NO - I have four or five tubes going at the same time.
What’s the name of this sealant? Love to use the same
Can he do the same for toothpaste?
Same as my toothpaste
I came here to learn about bonsai and this man is teaching me about life.
“If you deal with a problem one at a time, they will all sort themselves out” - Imagine talking about silly little trees and putting a life advice to live by, into it. This man is literally a sage.
Such good analysis.
Hard roll eyes. He's trimming a tiny tree ffs, not giving life advice. You remind me of the schmoes following Forrest Gump...or the groupies in Life of Brian - "it's a sign!!!"😂😂😂
Oh lord. Chill out
@@ArthurDentZaphodBeeb 'If ever a troll has lost its way, it's this one.' I think this video was made for you. You might not find yourself as pliable as a white pine, but you never know.
I personally liked the maple's overgrown branches that added some explicit asymmetry to the tree. As long as it's healthy, I'm sure it can evoke happiness. He is surely the bonsai master, but sometimes trees aren't as lost as we deem them to be.
Agreed
Early morning here in America. One of the best ways to spend my day!
It's not tedious, nor boring. It's fascinating.
I know it's not the typical bonsai way, but I actually really love the circling roots on that tree 😍
Same
They represent so much suffering from that tree that it hurts me
@@chingvang9320well when we have to water thousands of plants, multiple times per day…….. what do you suggest that doesn’t triple the man-hours? Lol
@@MrGufalosometimes from suffering comes great beauty.
He's the Bob Ross of bonsai.
Another fantastic video. Finally I met Peter in Herons today. Great Father's Day 👍.
Great meeting you and your lovely family.
"I am not as crazy as you think I am"
:-)
Enjoy your videos. Thanks a lot.
perfect way to start my sunday
My older brother has been ill for years . My son and l began taking care of his yard ,garden and lawn. l took to heart that idea that our plants outlive us they are a legacy l guess. You teach us about so much. Thank you
there is quite a bit of magic going on here. Nice job.
I just ordered some Chinese Elm seeds to start my first bonsai. I don't have a big garden, heck I don't even have a balcony really... But I hope I can produce something nice in the next few years and beyond!
How’s that bonsai coming along?
Beautiful work on these trees that had “lost their way”!!
You impressed on the last tree Peter. Thank you
With every video I learn something new. Thank You Peter. And happy Fathers Day.
Great video! Good morning bonsai crew
Huge difference especially with the last tree 🎄. Great Job and thx for sharing Peter.
This man is a living legend and the reason why i love bonsai thank you peter
Good morning x
As an individual we know a little, as a community we are an endless resource.
Yes indeed, We can all learn from others..
Greetings Breakfast club ☕️
Happy Father's Day, Teacher
...and of course to all Dad's today.
They are remembered for their trees. That's actually a beautiful thought.
Love watching your videos Peter
Thanks Peter, lots of good stuff being shared. Much appreciated.
What a pleasure it was watching such an articulate, wise and humble man. Thank you
Peter ain’t playin’ around today!!!
“Given a chance, they refuse to die.”
So many life lessons.
That last tree looks exactly like a loblolly pine here in Texas!
I love watching how he works, and takes his time sorting the branches while keeping a general idea of what he wants in mind. I have been watching for a couple of years now, and working on my own bonsais, most of them as starter plants purchased about 30 years ago. I had no guidance, only the desire to keep them going. Gradually, they are improving, some have undergone major changes which has made all the difference. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Greetings from New Orleans
I was given a Peter Chan book in 1993 now 2022; as a : birthday present thankfully Peter continues to give. such sage advice thank you so much master
I discovered that my wannabe Ficus Bonsai got outta control and I have to tame it. Give it a hair cut. Your videos inspire to do this work. I usually let my plants go as wild as possible.
After watching your videos I am so facinated with the shape of trees I keep looking at trees around me ❤️
Hello everyone! Evening here in Australia.
Cheers from SA 🇦🇺
Your passion for the trees is evident in this video.
I think watching you wire large trees is both informative and therapeutic. Watching your hands work, bending the wire and guiding the tree is absolutely fascinating, especially with the close ups on the tree. You're talking though how you want the tree to be shaped and as you progress I as a viewer also begin to see this shape. Not to mention there's always some tid bit of knowledge you're giving out.
It would be very easy to watch you wire whole trees, though that might just be because I'm still very new to the hobby. Great video as always!
I was asking myself whilst watching why you were doing what you were doing at this time of year chopping off roots. Lo and behold you anticipated my question (and probably many more viewers asking the same) brilliantly. Everything that you did to these trees made perfect sense in the end. How inspiring you are Peter and your videos brighten up every Sunday mornings. Thanks.
Thank you, this is nice to watch. I hope you have written a book about your life (if not you should). I'm sure many people watching your videos would buy it!
Good morning Bonsai Breakfast Clubbers, and happy Fathers Day.
There are too many slightly neglected or overlooked trees in my collection at the moment with rampant growth due to the lighter, warmer days (although they are getting watered regularly.) a full weekend of removing wire, trimming, styling and reviewing is overdue 😊
The juniper had a really great out come thoroughly enjoyed watching that transformation thank you!
As a layperson, I am amazed at how rough you seem with the trees and their roots at times, as well as how drastic the initial cuts seem to me. Again, as a layperson. I know you see the tree's design, but to someone who does not yet, it can seem almost careless. I'm fascinated. Thank you for sharing.
Yes I love the concept of just being custodians of the trees, the trees outliving us, and the memory of someone living on after they have passed away through the trees they were custodians of. If climate change knocks all of us off, at least the trees in our gardens in our cities will be monuments to the lives we lived.
I am so grateful for all the knowledge you share. Thank you!
I couldn’t help myself and must say! That is a very nice shirt you are wearing. So stylish!
If everyone was made to work for 4 years building weather proof houses for it's country's citizens, instead of doing military service, we'd all have wonderful places to live in, and some of the most important life skills we need, other things like we could also be taught during this process things like bonsai and basic gardening/living off food we grow etc, we would all have a stronger appreciation of the environment & the world would be such a better place.
Sharon here... I truly enjoyed watching the transformation of the older tall tree become a pleasing to the eye tree again! Lovely. 🙄❤
I love these videos with the lost way bonsai. And your nuggets of advice for bonsai and life remind me of my grandparents. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge.
great work.... i learn so much, thnks for your enthusiasm.
Thanks for the lesson
More incredible lessons from the master! They all look so much happier. What a pleasurable way to finish my work day. Thanks Peter
Best video I’ve seen in a long time from Peter. Awesome job
Not even COVID will stop me watching our Sunday breakfast club
Get well soon!
Good morning and take care of yourself 🌻
Oh dear - please take care of yourself.
That was alot of work indeed. Loved the out come of them thank you for sharing
Bonsais are an inspiration from life and you truly proved it 🙏🙏🙏
This popped up on my suggested and I'm glad I clicked! I learnt a lot and I personally found watching the wiring of the largest one very relaxing to watch. Your knowledge blows my mind and I look forward to watching all of your videos 🙂
I love this gentleman. Much respect 🙏🙏🙏
All of these trees looked beautiful at the beginning. Change my mind.
Amazing Peter! Thank you so much as always! The juniper at the end was a masterclass, and the nebari on the Maple was beautiful!!!
Our Master. Outstanding Work. 😮❤️🪴
As a Kiwi myself, I'd just like to say how proud I am of the product we are able to supply. If its still better than local after the month-plus shipping times, it must be some very passionate people behind the company you purchase from!
I really like how you say, if someone thinks they know it all, they know nothing. You are so right. Also that you say everyone, has a different way, that can work.
Hello Peter, thanks for the video, you doing a great job, well done, I have been following your video for a while now with the thumbs up of course, its very relaxing, keep up the good work, bye for now and good luck, Oh I forgot to mention the colourful shirts Pete, they look great too ;
What is a known Oldest Bonsai still in existence today....
Thanks For Sharing These Wonderful Informative videos 💖
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 thanks Peter

Awesome vid. Loads of info, thank you🤙🤙
It is nice to see how intentional and patient you are with your care. It is very refreshing to see a reminder that you need to take time and care to do things correctly. This is a good reminder to not doing things hastily and mindlessly.
Thank You for your beautiful description of the trees Sir. In nature we do observe trees living naturally in similar conditions. We see trees on mountain tops , and rocky areas where very little soil exists , but the trees thrive , they are locked into the very cracks of the rocks , they are watered by rain only , whatever nutrition they get is from nature itself ! I have not been taught by bonsai masters , other than the many You Tube master bonsai craftspersons. But look at nature , look for the trees growing , surviving in even cracks in concrete sidewalks sometimes . Your trees in this episode show just how resilient nature is , how after being planted over 50 years ago , and watered in such small ceramic pots they live . Just like the trees on the mountain tops!!
Thanks for the video
Thankyou for your wisdom.
Just beautiful! What a master. Thank you for sharing your skill and eye with us. I am still trying to work on my Bonsai without ruining them.
Root bound and overgrown they may be, but the owner has been very diligent with watering for 50 years and the trees have survived.
You remind me so much of my grandfather. I miss him so. 😢
Mr Heron's Bonsai has inner vision that's able to see the 'after' the pruning of tree is done
It's so beautiful to watch you work Sir Peter. Thank you!
I've been hunting for some sphagnum moss here in Kansas. Got a sick white pine. Thanks for all the knowledge and insight Sir.
Love how they're have a story to tell, wish we could show the same resistance. Dr Peter Chan operating being so respectful for the trees wellbeing.🙂
Do you soak the trees in a tub after re potting, with a bit of liquid fertiliser?
Beautiful work done on those.
You are a real master sir. For every step you do i need to think at least 5 minutes or more.
This guy gives great honest advice. Also flames his customers for abusing their trees I love that. Some home truths can keep you disciplined to look after them in future
Watching a master artist and scientist at work is never boring!
You are like the bob ross of bonsai. I love watch your videos
I've only been watching for 4 minutes and already know I could get stuck watching him all day
The circling roots of that tree! Out of suffering sometimes comes great beauty. ❤️
Praise the LORD for TH-cam. BOOKS are a good way to learn things, but SEEING things live and hearing someone speak about how to do things really helps. Some people are more visual. The videos are so educational. We really need these. I look at videos for everything, cooking, horticulture, knitting, quilting. Its amazing.
Lol "It's just a shrub"
The distain in his voice 😂
"If ever a tree has lost it's way...It's this one." I giggled.
Pruning is my favorite part of having bonsais. I have to force myself not to prune too much.
I will send someone a video on how to get more branches on a pine tree to thicken the tree. it's about "reverse" buds
Wow, nice nebari on that Palmatum, it deserves a better shapping on the top.
Very good at explaining that fear and neglect will destroy a beautiful bonsai:( Thank you for taking your valuable time to educate us all.
My mom bought a bonsai 7 years ago, gave it to my grandma, it's basically a bush now... I mean at least it's really healthy
Such an interesting video with many usable lessons.
I want to be as half as wise as him in two lifetimes…the tradition, the training, and everything else about bonsai has always relayed life lessons throughout hundreds of years of a beautiful tradition. The patience, the determination, and everything else to create comes more easily with age. Plus trees that are passed down, ( a lot of bonsai are) like he said, keep the history alive and thriving. A beautiful way of remembering the people, the culture, and mother natures strong will to thrive. Thanks Peter for bringing the thrill of bonsai back into my life. You are amazing 😊
I would love to see more before and after footages... knowing you have been working with so many clients. Just to see the miracle of your work!
