Good morning everybody
Good night from australia haha
I've been watching these videos for a couple weeks and am so glad I came across them. In the chaos of this present world, I've discovered a calm and intelligent viewing experience....I marvel at each creation! I thank you so much for the knowledge you share. I came across a cheap juniper of some type and purchased it. Based on these videos, I decided to dig down to expose more trunk (and discovered twisty thick roots), then trimmed here and there and practiced wiring. Half of the shrub ended up cut off, but there are plenty of 'sacrificial' branches left to thicken the trunk. Great practice; ugly at the moment, but maybe later something will come out of it. Thank you for the pleasure you give us!
Great videoing by Josh….nice close ups of wiring, and he holds branches out of the way so we can see exactly what’s being done. Thank you, also, for telling the time of this work (late July). It helps .
Great tips for trimming the tips. The benefit of you recording your thought process is I can go back and use these videos as a guide. If we were in the club you would only have a handful of people with a handful of foggy memories lost to time. Keep on sharing.
Once again Peter you just change my perspective of bonsai in just a few words. Thin branches instead of thick branches, and thick branches make good Jin's.... I'm speechless... This make Soo much sense
Is it Sunday coffee morning with Peter already? Wow, this week has gone so fast. Time to slow down and enjoy this video. Relaxing!
Same here! Coffee in hand. Greetings from Florida.
Sunday morning Bonsai Breakfast Club.
This tree immediately put me in mind of the work of Zhao Quinqang and his fabulous books on Penjing and Literati.
Have a great day everyone ❤️
What a motivational speaker you are too! Little life gems here and there...
I sometimes speak to groups in that capacity.
Excuse me, but I LMAO when Peter had said, “ I would cut this tree so short with the paper, but I don’t think the owner wants a short tree. Peter, you are so charming!
This is my first year of trying to be "logical" when it comes to not fearing my decision to cut thicker branches. I have in the past, cut larger branches thinking I am ruining the tree by taking away such older growth, but am learning that in many cases, the overall impression can be improved by not being selfish. Learning to envision an apex is still quite hard for me, when styling. I find myself always completely blown away by "organic" or "abstract" stylings, where vision is needed more. I have a VERY boring tendency to style, or TRY to style in very boring equilateral, upright styles. Seeing a possibility BEYOND the obvious, is what I wish I could develop myself. Great work on this...very impressive.
A great transformation,without invasive actions! Just pruning two branches and giving it a shape. Excellent lesson, thank you!
Looking a lot better for sure, bravo Peter 👍. Camera angle is also good, thanks for the close ups Josh. Thx for sharing Peter, cheers 🌲☕.
Thank you Peter for sharing your experience with us. Wanted to support you but at the moment you are not shipping to Germany. Therefore i bought a herons t-shirt, which is shipped to Germany. Will wear it while pruning my bonsai for good luck.
The T-shirts are marketed by another company that uses our name. We dont sell or ship them. AS for plants, we cannot send easily to the EU - the paperwork makes it uneconomic . We have lost a lot of business.
@@peterchan3100 maybe a middleman in europe could help. You could ship common bonsai to him and he could later send it to costumers in hole europe. Less paperwork and easier for you. Bet there are tree nursery you can work with.
It always amazes me how the small changes you make create something beautiful.
Love seeing how these projects turn out. How just a little change of something simple like the angle makes a huge impact. Im sure the customer will be more than happy with the results. As always thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much that you always take the time for us to show everything in detail. Again in this movie so much details to learn from. It makes you so a beautiful person that you want to help us in a clear way. These days ‘masters’ like to stay the only master till the end. You are a humble true master, that wants to help every student. And I’m looking from a distance (Belgium), so I can see the good qualities you’re bringing to us 🙏🙏
Thank you for your feedback. I am only doing what I do naturally - its not like a television performance involving several takes. I show faults and all.
I've never heard Peter be so shady! So funny.
Congrats mr. Chan and team Herons: 340 k abonnees! Impressive and well deserved!
Amazing tree, I'm sure the costumer will be satisfied
Wonderful demonstration, I really appreciate the clear views of the wiring process. Thank you very much!
Once again the Master turns a snoopy tree, in to a soon to be a thing of beauty. another great teaching show thanks Peter.
Good morning Peter, great job!
Interesting how your work gives the tree balance, and at the same time makes it more interesting to look at.
Beautiful work done, would love to see when you repot it !
I got one from nursery last stock couple weeks ago, still try to air layering it, TQVM for sharing ideas Mr Chan
Wonderful work on a difficult tree . As always Peter thank you for your uploads !
Peter, nice work on a difficult tree. Glad you like the EBBS gift of a commemorative brick.
Thank you Michael. Hope you and your members are doing well. Are the forest fires affecting your area?
Dropping some deeper thoughts in this video -> Enjoyed it very much
Great job Peter. Removing the 2 thick branches really did open up the tree. Also when you had the paper up to it I saw an option of a shorter tree with a sloping branch at the apex. I did not see your vision of just a shorter tree and I thing that would be a great choice and make the trunk look a lot thicker. Thanks for sharing.
You always make great videos with plenty of good advise a joy to watch.
another bonsai class from Peter, exciting to learn new thing!!!👍
nice video, I just had my first juniper
This sit shows that no knowledge is less than other ......such a great man...
I love this channel so much.
It's good to be the old guy on the scene.
i want to meet him,..i want to learn from him and i love the way he explain..
#from Philippines
Great tips and work, thanks for the video :)
Pity that the owner didn’t want too radical changes done to the tree. Imo it’s too tall. I would have taken the top third of the trees off. Still great to see Peter get good results while respecting the wishes of the customer.
Enjoyed this transformation from an awkward tree to a tree of beauty and motion. Always a pleasure spending part of my Sunday with you Peter. Thanks for all your knowledge. Y
Very enjoyable thank you for sharing.
Great life advice!
Stunning results as always this Sunday breakfast Peter.
Thank you for another great video
Wonderful job.
Wonderful!!
🌴Great makeover Pete!👍
This is amazing. Right now my bonsai is a baby and in the middle of it's first branch training. In a normal pot. So I guess you would call it pre bonsai. It's so plain right now! But I know it all takes time and patience
This tree is going to be so interesting in the future. It would be fun to fast forward a few decades to see how it develops.
Depends on how the owner takes care of it in the years ahead.
I always love your videos. I like peeling my jins down on the bottom like in nature a branch falls and tears the underside
Cheers Peter...Thanks for the juniper restyle...I would really like to find a large Juniperus Rigida for my collection at some point in the future...Thanks for all your vids !
We have many Rigidas but they are not cheap.
It's a beautiful day to relax with some ice coffee, listening to the autumn's wind thu the trees, enjoying my dogs tenth by my side. Along with the company of Peter Chan on my phone. Earlier I made a literati pre bonsai Lycium Europaeum, boxthorn.
Nice close ups in the video Thanks
Good cameraman and yet someone has criticised it - I guess one cannot please everybody
Great video, very interesting
Ist always great to see that the length of the wire is perfect. Greets from germany near Berlin. Thanks for all your videos 😊👍
You are very observant - I dont think many others notice this.
Impressive improvement, indeed.
You could make a 2 hour video and I would watch every second.
Peter was great. I enjoyed watching the video and I learned. Accept my respect from Iran. Hoping to see you at Herons Bonsai.
Take care my friend. Are there many bonsai enthusiasts in your country? Good hobby.
@@peterchan3100
Yes, there are a lot of people interested. But few do it professionally. After watching your videos, I was able to make five bonsai and I have been keeping them for three months. Hinoki, Elm, Pomegranate, Chinese Juniper and Benjamin Ficus.
Idk if anyone can help me or not but I found this man and his wonderful channel thanks to the algorithm after watching a video about growing chestnut trees for hunting and now I have what i believe to be a chokecherry tree I dug up from the woods near my paps and I was wondering if that could even be made into a bonsai at all it is still very tiny and many of the leaves are holy from caterpillars and other insects eating them it’s being grown in a small plastic container outside I drilled holes into for drainage and used just miracle grow potting soil to grow it it seems to be living still but the wind is kinda hard on it ever since I took it outa the woods where it was
You can make a bonsai from any tree or shrub
Goedemorgen,
Trust you are well.
Can you please do a video where you make a really dramatic cut to a thick trunk? You’ve mentioned it a few times in the past and I always have such a difficult time imagining how you make the cut on a trunk that thick and not have it look like a tiny lumberjack sawed half the tree off. Or maybe that’s how it’s supposed to look. Would be cool to see how you do it and how it turns out.
I will bear that in mind. Need to find a suitable subject for this.
I think what happens is it does appear to be a harsh cut for a few years, but with time that corner rounds off to a bend, while also leaving a radically thinner leader when compared to the trunk which creates good taper.
The client: please just clip the ends for me
Peter: ok
Peter: *changes the whole tree. Prunes and wires.
lol Peter has claws out on this one hahah
Hi heron!
Perhaps the haphazardness in wiring resulted in the endless possibilities of this specimen.
Hi Peter I do find it a shame that you were not able to style the tree as you would have preferred as you said the possibilities are endless and I think shortening the tree and making it more compact and emphasise the thickness of the trunk would have been a good solution, but the customers wishes must come first, pity he didn’t give you freedom to do what you would like to do, I could feel your frustration throughout the video of not being able to be more drastic with the design.
Thank you once again for your expertise in showing how to work with bonsai trees.
One always has to respect the customers wishes.
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 thanks Peter
Need to wire the pads and it will look very very nice.
1st comment! Love from Bharat

I have a question about a Japanese cherry blossom I’ve been growing from a seed. It’s about six months old and I want to bonsai it or at least make it so that it doesn’t grow any higher than 2 feet. I haven’t pruned it at all and I want to know the best way to go about it. It has one leading branch growing upward and multiple branches growing all over the trunk in every direction, those branches seem to be producing many new ones on them as well. What would be the best way to go about bonsaing it? I leaving the tiny branches around the base to make it bigger but I don’t know how else to make it grow outward
Mr Chan can a pine tree grow from cuttings??
No
Can this juniper be styled with waterfall style?
I would love to visit this place. Im going to guess you do sell bonsai, so how much does the average small/ medium tree cost? And what do you think is your most expensive?
Herons is the largest and best nursery in the UK - 8 acres of bonsai paradise.
Peter which branch tips do you cut? The middle one?
yes
I would have made him sit aside while handling this tree, cause that would certainly make the decision clear. I couldn't enjoy the process just by switching my mind on both costomer perspective and your view randomly..." Oh just crop it... No no costomer would not like it !"... That was breathstoping ..But, at the end , the ransformation was so satisfying.
Is there a correct time of year to wire and incorrect time to wire?
You can wire anytime although its best to avoid the coldest months when temps are well below freezing
I was thinking cascade as a possibility.
i must say i didnt' like it for the first time, it really seems you held back a lot because of the custome. It's a pity but i know there where many other options for this tree, and the short one you first mentioned it blew my mind i hadn't even seen it until you showed it!
The word literati came into my mind.
How do we make the trunk thick??
Grow it for a few years in the open ground such as a flower bed.
Thankyou so much sir 🤗
Doesn't look like the film editor fulfilled the request.
Good morning
💕😍👍
Sunday, Sunday.
With Peter Chan.
I swore he was going to cut the height in half
👍🍎👌
I’d hate for Peter to see my trees.
No you should not be afraid - If you had the chance bring your trees here for a makeover.
Fire your cameraman, he's stands to close and gets in the way
If you are a Pro cameraman - please give us some tips.
@@peterchan3100 not a professional cameraman, just enjoy watching your videos.
@@peterchan3100 I work as a live sound engineer but do camera work as well. I will say that I think Josh is doing a phenomenal job of showing what you do, pointing us to interesting details while you explain stuff. It is of course an impossible task to show everything you do, such is the nature of working in between branches. My solution to this is to use an action camera with a head mount, such as a GoPro, but I really dont think it's needed
@@lolpwndk Thank you - I have sometimes wondered whether GoPro would be useful for my situation but the fact that you cannot see what you are doing while filming is a disadvantage.
I actually think Josh is doing a super job.
Peter, nice work on a difficult tree. Glad you like the EBBS gift of a commemorative brick.
