- Large Maples are my favourite bonsai. In this video I shape a few smaller Maples and a Large Twin Trunk.
I show pruning with scissors and using the plucking method.

Out of all the bonsai tutorials or "How-to-care" videos I've seen this is by far the BEST! Not only are you informative but you are real! Some of the people doing videos like this one are so sterile and boring and robotic... you are very entertaining, sir! Thank you! I've subscribed
You do an awesome job! Your trees look like gems! Thought the bigger one looked just fine. When you finished it was like, oh yes, that's why japanese maples are so beautiful.
Sad those lazy people stole your videos to try and promote themselves because of your experienced work.
It's a video about maples, but I can't take my eyes off that beautiful juniper. It's a very art-deco shape. Now I want one like that.
Now that is an expensive Chinese Juniper.
@@peterchan3100 How expensive is expensive?
jzizzles easily 20k possibly 50...maybe 30, but you get the idea
Hurray for a personal mic with wind protection!! It vastly improves your wonderful, informative videos all the more so. Thank you for your continuing efforts to keep improving these so we aren't distracted by loud planes, variations in audio when you turn away, windy days, etc. Your bright shirts are far more acceptable as easy visual intrusions than what we've had to 'put up with', especially for those with hard of hearing issues. ;) :D :D
Thank you Judy
The airplane sound was so real though. I had to take off my headphones several times bc i thought my local planes have become louder..
"this would take most people about a week, but I can do it in 20 minutes." Made me laugh so hard for some reason, but he backed up his claim!
I think we witnessed a British-Asian gardener gentlemans' version of a 'hard flex'.
Thank you for the inspiration, I have a large maple to prune tomorrow : )
It is so cool watching you work in your element and explain everything so clearly Peter.
Thanks again Mr. Chan. I too love large bonsai. And when I started I thought all Bonsai were small.
Nice
Me too, I love Japanese Maples! Can't wait to see more videos from you! Thank you, Mr Chan, it is a very informative video!
I must thank you for these videos! I have learned so much from you. I only have one ficus bonsai, which I bought for $1 because it was almost dead, and I brought it back to life, and got a cutting that is slowly growing!! Today I actually worked on a pine! Love your videos, love you!!
Great video again peter not everyone can get to bonsai classes and your videos help so much thank you
I do the leaf plucking to a mature maple growing in my garden, it isn’t a bonsai but I like to thin it out a bit just to give it a nicer shape and expose some of the branching, I never knew that anybody used that method for bonsai, now I won’t feel like I’m doing something I shouldn’t next time I’m plucking my maple, thank you Peter for all your valuable lessons.
Now that is a new one on me. I have never heard of anyone doing leaf plucking to fully grown Maples in the garden.
Simply fantastic every time I think I got it your videos pop up and I learn more
Peter we all know who the real master is your second to none!
My word.....you do work fast. Thank you for your videos. They are inspiring.
I find your tutorials absolutely fascinating. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you Peter, I love your videos and put them on when when I need hope and a soothing voice.
Dear Master Chan, I love how you are one with your trees. Thank You for your videos 🙏
I've just potted a bunch of Japanese maple seedlings from my landlords garden. This is very helpful. Thank you
Does anyone else (Mr Chan excepted) feel some deep elemental love for Japanese Maples? They are just stunning, delicate, beautiful trees.
I truly love the way you take care of your Bonsai and I to love maples, and you are giving me Ideas for my own our maples have to do their first flush I live on top of the mountain! where it is 10 degrees colder than in the valley.
love the before and after photos!
I love these massive bonsai's, they look absolutely outstanding!!!
Thank you Peter, I am off to examine my Bonsai Maple which was a gift last month. Now I feel I can approach pruning with a bit of excitement rather than the trepidation I was feeling. I loved the shirt!
Thank you Peter, great video very informative. You are not kidding when you say you work fast. I suppose looking after as many trees as you do you can't hang about!
Thank you Peter, you have ignited a passion for Maples, I can't wait to buy some & put what I've learnt into action.

Master Chan...thank you for you last fall tip on the Acer Palmatun winter care.
I kept it outside all winter and did a big trunk chop on it and its sprouting everywhere.
Gorgeous work to the maple tree,just love the way u work on trees
Most excellent Mr. Chan it would be something to apprentice under you. Keep the great material coming 👍
You can come for short periods - I shall be happy to teach you.
Thank you so much for your video, also I really appreciate you naming the maples and letting us know what they called.
Large maple bonsai are also my favourite. Brilliant video
Just started reading one of your books! The art of growing and keeping miniature trees! Got it off amazon. Really excited. Thanks for all your info
That is my First book and I deliberately kept it simple and used pictures of mainly my own made trees and not imported specimens. People used to criticise that book because it had "rubbish" trees - but they missed the point - my aim was to make bonsai simple and accessible to everyone. That is still my approach to bonsai.
peter chan I really appreciate how well the book is written. I can’t wait to finish it. So I can read the next. Cheers from Utah.
Can you please introduce us to different variety of maples. I really love the red leaf maples in the background
I think those are 'deshojo' maples
Just watched this video again Peter, I have 2 medium size maples, one is the broken one I got for 1/2 price, it's very thick with growth now so I think I nursed it back to health, think I am ready to shape and this video gave me the inspiration I needed.
Beautifully explained and envisioned.
Hello, I live in Oregon and have a multitude of maple varieties. This is exactly what I have been looking for. Thank you.
Art is hard to pin down, but you know it when you see it. Especially when they make it look so easy.
I love you work. Peter... And also the t shirt...is spring after all
What a magnificent Bonsai. maples are so beautifull
I love your tinning. You are the best tinner I know. All the best, Anthony
Amazing tutorial on maples...thank you, Peter! :)
I really love this carm man and his amazing videos. Of course i also love bonsai trees, big and small.
I visited your nursery & it's amazing, many thanks for the video, I shall get plucking.
Thank you for another very interesting vid love the taller bonsai
Interesting guide to pruning maples, thanks.
I love your work and your shirt!
Hello Peter. I love your channel, I have learned so much from you videos. I just got my first maple 😁 it's a Japanese butterfly maple sooooo exciting
Dear Sir, you got me hooked. I also like large bonsai trees, but I've made a mistake and started with common yew and beech. Hard start, but hey, I plan to have kids, so who cares! Thank you for inspiring us all!
Thanks for the video , the trees are looking amazing 🙏✌🌲
Very enjoyable love your videos please keep them coming
I don’t own bonsai but I really wish I did. I’ve been using your channel in particular to do as much research as I could before I go and buy one. Love your videos
Tyler Campbell I did one day of research then bought an azalea and 4 maple saplings 😂
You are so confident in working with those trees.
Happy to see your videos.

Maples are my favourite too!
A million thanks for this. I love the shirt!
i transplanted a 30 year old green japanese maple from a yard into a 80Liter pot in early May, and after like 2 months it started growing new shoots and i couldnt be happier! i'm sure you would love it
Thank you for your videos, the best information I found, and realistic ❤️
Is the best show ever you are so cool thanks again for showing me how to go on the trip and I hope you have a good year by
Those maple trees are so pretty and now I want one. I'm a gardener but I've never had a maple. On another note I like your brite shirt, some people will complain about everything.
Very informative video & nice sense of humour!
very eloquent. pleasure to watch. thank you for an interesting video
Cool shirt, awesome trees and information, great work, thank you
Another great job. Thank you.
I like the shirts! Thank for this wonderful video
Another great video and shirt!
love the shirt and the maple
Love your shirt! Lol. I also love your videos. Thank you.
That Sir is a beautiful tree. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Another great video Peter, didn't know about the leaf plucking as I am starting to look at something other than the 30 pines I have done so far. It would have been nice to get more closeups of the cross branches and verticals before you cut them a couple times to reinforce what they look like.
The maples I have seen here so far are about $75 4' tall with long trunks, probably trimmed that way, do they back bud down the trunk, it's expensive so I will have to see how to develop lower branches before chopping one in 1/2.
Sophisticated topiary 🌳 "bah humbug" Peter you have a masters eye to create a tree like this, if I tried this I'm sure it would still be a trunk and some branches. Hope to see you this Saturday at your workshop👍
Look forward to that - bring some nice material to work on.
@@peterchan3100 : I have a nice juniper I am bringing, but to bring its potential out it needs a masters eye and to wave his magic hand over it please🤞
@@briankavanagh7191 Send me a pic to our email so that I can have a look
Looking very fruity Peter, fantastic end result on that beautiful Maple ,thank you for another lesson from The Master...
You are always very kind with your comments
@@peterchan3100 you are a pleasure to watch and learn from you are a great inspiration...
Great shirt.....I love it.
Very helpful. Great video. Thank you
Peter the Bonsaibarber :-) and he always pet his trees. He can Bonasi!
I have a hair dresser friend who does ladies hair and he keeps telling me to become a hair dresser - he said that I would be very good at that and earn loads more money! May be I should give it a try! Ha Ha.
Great video!
Wonderful, thank you so much.
Great tree... I’m sure your known for more than your delightful shirts... and endless love for trees!!!
love this video ...thank you
My idea of a pretty lady is delicate, yet full figured. Same with my preference on plants. Excellent video!
A stunning maple that big boy! 😁
Big one looks awesome.. dont like what he did to the small ones tho.. they looked haggard..
Your just so passionate its amazing
Thank yu! Those are our favorite tree ! Info we need !!
Nice trees!!!
I'm very happy to hear that Maples are feminine! They are my favourite too 🧡
Its not PC to use this term I am told. But it seems you dont mind.
Question and comment: First, your videos are amazing for novice bonsai enthusiasts like myself! Going to watch the majority of your videos so I can continue to learn and grow. Second is my question; Would you mind doing a mediation type video in the future (since you have mentioned this subject in other videos) and just touch on the basics that help you with meditating? Love your personality and style. Thanks for all your help!
One of my staff teaches meditation - if you email me on peter@herons.co.uk. I will give you more meditation information.
You are a Super Master of Bonsai, I like your videos.
Thank you from Roseville California, I did exactly as you instructed and my beauty is 100% lovlier just like a lady 😉 I truly enjoy hearing you talk about your life’s experiences and by the way, that theif, the one who stole your material, may I have his channel name? I enjoy holding people like that accountable. Keep up the enjoyable videos
Great information sir thanks
Very beautiful bonsai
Excelent Sir. Grettings from Buenos Aires. n_n
Peter you're the man!!!
What an amazing tree
I was looking at that juniper (or whatever it is) bonsai to the left most of the time of this video!
I watched new shoots form on my willow oak there are now multiple new leaves unfurled from those shoots in just 3 days. Incredible.
Can you do this also to a airlayering branch?
Keep up the goodwork, love your videos!

OMG! that tree is gloriuos!
The one on the left is glorious too
its so beautiful im going to cry
My bob ross of plants thank you sir
Thank you for your wonderful videos. Sometimes I just play them in the background while I work, because I find your voice relaxing. You may be the Bob Ross of bonsai!
Can you recommend a quality model of cutters that won't break the bank? I am trying to start small and working on a few junipers from the home center to see how I enjoy bonsai. I do enjoy quality tools!
Buy good quality stainless steel bonsai tools. Japanese tools are best but China is now producing world class bonsai tools as well. Ryuga is one example. Buy the most expensive that you can afford. My stainless steel bonsai tools have been going for 25 -30 years and they are as good as new.
I to am a beginner and started out with buying two bonsai scissors from Nutscene. The pair cost about 500 sek, or 50 USD. If you need a good pair of more rigid pruners to cut bigger branches I recommend going to an old barn sale. I found myself a pruner from the 30's there, better than a new for the same price, which was no more than 80 sek, or about 8 USD.
Good Luck and hope you enjoy the art!
@@peterchan3100 Thank you, sir!
Monster bonsai..so beautiful
This man is a perfect human.
Amazing thank you
Thank you for another informative and pleasurable video, Mr Chan. Your trees look amazing, not only the maples but also the juniper on the left; couldn't stop myself from admiring it all the time. I like the big maples, but being a beginner, I focus more on the little ones. I wonder which are the stages of development for a maple like the little ones you show here. I mean did you allow them to grow in the field, or bigger pot and how tall they had to grow to get that thickness?
`Yes we have maples in all sizes - if you live in the EU we can ship to you
Very beautiful
