I know only what I have learned from Peter about bonsai. I may never actually create a bonsai. Peter makes me feel safer and more relaxed during this pandemic here in the US.
I start liking bonsai when i was 17. Because college i didnt even bother to start. I got married on age 30 and started growing bonsai. Now im 33 i already have several ok one. But i wish i started when i was 17. Planting 2-4 plant is not hard to maintain.
What a joy to see how you mentor a new enthusiast. I sense that a successful tree is not so much the result of what we want to see but more what the tree wants to be. As always, I am in awe of the final result. I look forward to every video.
What a great video of wiring. The whole process of using the correct size and the making of the jin. One of the best videos that I have seen on how to completely wire the total tree and visualize it. Beautiful results.
Thanks a lot for this vidéo!! It is each time a lot of learning. Hope to be able to visit your nursery once COVID-19 situation permits it. From Switzerland 🌱🍁
I liked the idea of a windswept look. What I was thinking was that to take the thinner, lower branch (make that the windward side) and bend it in a u-turn towards the thicker lower branch (the leeward side). We see in nature that windswept trees can have branches that start out 'normal' and then bend windward as they grow. Then do the same for the smaller branches on the 'windward' side. I will keep an eye out for a spindly pine and see if I can find one to try this out on. I'll report back in about 3 - 4 year LOL.
I would love a video on characteristics of wire used in bonsai wrapping. Is it coated, is it copper, how long is it left on to achieve result, everything about wire.
Nice job, I would have only kept one of the gin and he may decide that in the future, even if going with the wind swept I would have removed the larger branch as it was the same size as the trunk so keeping proportion as the branches go up the tree. I got a yamadori today, from an area were people go to target shoot, lots of great trees, I will see if it survives, all loose rock so we will see. Also picked up some mushroom cultures from under pines and sprinkled the Mycorizza over my JBP that are in sterile potting medium to see if that helps them and put some in a baggie with potting mix to try and grow some. You never stop learning.
31:00 "trim the roots february, if you do it in the third week of june would kill the tree" Am I reading this correctly? Mid summer root work would kill the tree?
Pinus parviflora: Five-needle pine / Ulleungdo white pine / Japanese white pine, native to Korea and Japan. While the translation from Latin literally means five-leaf pine, it's not incorrect to call it Japanese white pine :) By the way, the Japanese themselves just call it 五葉松 _goyômatsu_ meaning five (五) leaf (葉) pine (松).
To be fair, "parviflora" means small-flowered in Latin, not sure where the 5-needle translation came out of! "Pentaphylla" would be the correct translation for 5-leaved(needled)
Hi Mr Chan . Was this video today?? Or ealier this year. So its safe to cut the live branches this time of year . I have a pinus parviflora "NIGESHI" ..im scared to do anything with this tree .also because i purchased it late summer . and it lost alot of its old foliage this month wich is normal ofcource . But it quite scared me 😅😅😅 and it doesnt like water 😅😅. I found out its the diva of my garden ..so im trying to get al the info i can ..im intimidated by this tree for some reason.. thank you!!🌳🌳
I do not know when the video was shot but if it is recent, you should definitely both wear masks. I had Covid and it was pretty bad! I am 44 and i can now understand why it can be serious for people over 70. I do not want to be rude to say you are old or anything Mr. Chan but please be very carefull because we like so much your videos and your work!
I did not charge him as he is an alumnus from my college in India - which is the Indian Institute of Technology at Kharagpur. The same Institute that produceed many famous entrepreneurs and technologists like Sundar Pichai - Google chief; and Arun Sarin - Vodafone chief - and the list goes on and on. Look up my CV for more info.
Haha goodo. Just checking our youtube community are being treated well ;) I'm trying to get the national trust to remove a load of pines off heathland were they forgot to graze in Surrey. They will need several volunteers and were otherwise just going to burn the trees....
I love these type of videos Peter where you help to improve your clients trees. Keep them coming!
I know only what I have learned from Peter about bonsai. I may never actually create a bonsai. Peter makes me feel safer and more relaxed during this pandemic here in the US.
Yes. I feel the same way. I love the idea of doing a bonsai but not ready yet. Maybe one day. Maybe after a lot more of his videos

Turned out to be a presentable Shohin, one happy customer indeed. Bravo Peter, cant wait for the next video...cheers.
It looks much too tall for a shohin bonsai, but it's indeed nice looking.
It's far from shohin, but pretty close to presentable, indeed.
What a great video of wiring. The whole process of using the correct size and the making of the jin. One of the best videos that I have seen on how to completely wire the total tree and visualize it. Beautiful results.
Great learning technique video. Would love to see more of them. Nice tree 🌲
Always an awesome result .. I think there's something magical.. Is Peter a wizard? yes for sure :D

Well done, on training for the customer
I love pines
Turned out nice again!

Beautiful solution
That little tree came out so VERY VERY Beautiful and Attractive 🌲💟💟👧💟

I’m jealous, one day when I go back to Surrey I hope to meet Mr. Chan and visit Heron’s. Great video
It turned out a lovely tree.
I'd love to see this again in a few years!
My initial choice was exactly the same! Thanks Peter for following my mind :)
Sir which soil should I use to make a bonsai plant?
Nice job, I would have only kept one of the gin and he may decide that in the future, even if going with the wind swept I would have removed the larger branch as it was the same size as the trunk so keeping proportion as the branches go up the tree.

True stars! 😁
I always get intimidated by pines but its great to work with
Peter, I was wondering if Eastern Hemlock (Tsuga Canadensis) would make a good bonsai?
Yes it does
wow the tree looks amazing!
Thanks Peter..❤️
Thanks both, lots of useful stuff.
"Many times people are reluctant to cut these large branches," this is me with all of my trees!
Good job 👍👍
31:00 "trim the roots february, if you do it in the third week of june would kill the tree"
Am I reading this correctly?
Mid summer root work would kill the tree?
Yes we had hot weather in June
on tropical trees it's fine. as long as you protect them from intense sun for a while
Not quite sure if this is true but if conditions are right, the Chinese five needle pines do bud bud back from old bark unlike the Japanese white pine
Thank you soooo much for a simple yet efficient video about White Pine!! But Wiring Conifers Should be done in Autumn, Right?
No
Does he have just organic soil in that pot? I thought that wasn’t good with bonsai
Please make a video on , how to remove wire and after how much period it should be removed.
Complete transformation from Jewish menorah to majestic tree, amazing

You're right! I just quoted the said "five-leaf-pine" without thinking about it.
What type of wire do you use?

Just like a bible thumper pushing their stupid beliefs on others. This comment is one of the most annoying comments ever
Not good job i think ..sir
Did this guy pay for a workshop and you just filmed it an played him no attention?
