Show us everything, Peter ! A cup of coffee in the morning and your videos are a great way to start the day.
I just purchased a 6" Ficus Microcarpa as my first bonsai after seeing your TH-cam videos.
Peter, i Just wanna say i Have now seen all your videos, i cannot express myself on How It Have enhaced my view on bonsai, i've been practicing bonsai since 2006, but The last year i Have learned a Lot from you, thank you Very much, cheers from Brazil!
Wow another magic vid from the master
Master “P” you’re the Man!!
Peter, spot on repetition=reinforcement
This is some of your best content Peter. Concise explanations, consolidating a lot of your earlier lessons. Intermediate trees not too mature. Like a high quality practical lecture at university. Thank you. Keep em coming.
I am so thankful for all your lessons
Thank you Peter, so many videos and books are contradictory. But I always trust you as you show us everything and my bonsai knowledge and practice has really improved, all down to you and Herons
I do what works for me. I am sure other people have their special techniques too which work. But do what you feel comfortable with.
Hi Peter I love your channel,you are so knowledgable,an you show us how to care for these beautiful trees ,a big thank you lv Ann uk 🇬🇧
Mr Chan, I always enjoy your videos. Your approachable manner and your experience are always worth watching!
Thank you for your feedback.
Thanks again. Keep making videos.
Thank you Peter, for always erring on the side of caution and taking us along for the lesson.
That is an amazing ficus. I love how it embraces natural ficus style growing
Thanks you Peter! Inspirational. Love the look of the Maples.
Thanks Peter. Your lessons help me a lot with my bold decisions
Stunning vid and great insight thank you for sharing
Always enjoy your Videos. Thank you Peter 😊
this is beautiful. I have been looking for an in-depth, yet braod-reaching video of upkeep and care on a Ficus this size/shape
"Be brave" 😁 it certainly makes for a tree with lots of potential!
Oh to have one of those maple branches that went on the floor!!!
Thank you for a great lesson!
Thanks Peter.
The bushy trees look nice and full, but the refining them is better for the future. Great learning video. Thanks Peter.
Thank you very much Peter. Without hiding important point you always teach us everything. All of your trees are amazing. I am following each and every videos about bonsai
I've learned so much from this channel in the past year by far my favorite channel to watch Peter your the man
@@concentratedglass7430 - Yet there are many of my critics who slate me for trivialising bonsai. I am glad that I have so many appreciative viewers like you.
@@peterchan3100 and we are even more appreciative of your knowledge and enthusiasm I have 27 trees now due to watching your channel I ventured out of the ficus category and started practicing with outdoor native species to Michigan I wish I could post pictures..maybe I'll try on Instagram. But there's always haters on TH-cam and I've found part of the bonsai community can be quite snobby and critical. It's art people its subjective and usually the people hating are being negative not because of something you did but for something that's they're insecure about or have a fear of some sort and you know what they say the more haters you have the more you know your doing something correctly. Cheers Peter from Matt aka concentratedglass a glass blower in Michigan USA
@@concentratedglass7430 Wise words from you - Thank you.
Great lesson!
Peter many thanks again for signing my books last Thursday! I had a lovely time at Heron's. Just a shame I couldn't buy my first bonsai there, but I'll definitely start as soon as I have enough space!
Glad you enjoyed your visit and it was a pleasure meeting you.
@25:16, I love the look of that Maple, I would fashion a nice little rope swing on that amazing little tree, maybe even a miniature bench possibly!! One can dream of the opportunity of owning such a wonderful specimen, such as one in likeness to this type of bonsai!!
Informative vid🌳🌳
Love maples
We all love watching Peter and his approach. I wish I had the confidence to make drastic decisions in cutting branches. He explains things in such a simple way but it's not same for us amateurs.
Its simple once you learn the angle Ive been at it for nearly two years and mess up from time to time but bonsais dont usually die from it
@@ciide You are absolutely right
Nail biting branch cutting 😭, but necessary indeed. Such healthy and vigorous Maples, bravo and thx for sharing as always Peter 🙏. Cheers
This was a great demonstration for me. Thank you Peter!
I have 3 Tridents and 3 Japanese maples that I have been struggling with all summer, trying to find a plan for each. I have done a trunk cut on one earlier this spring, and I have been cutting very thick branches from the Tridents. But I am still trying to figure out what would be best for them in terms of possible trunk cuts to develop better taper. Its mid-late summer, very hot, and I think my window of opportunity here for hard pruning is gone. Might be too much, too late in the season now. I may have to contemplate more and plan for this work to do in late winter/early spring.
Oh and just for others to know, I DO wire all my maples using the open loop method. I learned the hardway about wire bite on maples. But to get the branches in position for later in the future, wiring my Maples is necessary. Thanks again Peter!!
Another great video Peter, those maples do get out of hand quickly, just wish my little ones were a thick as yours, well someday, I have to spend most of my time on the 200+ JBP, it's needle plucking time and I do have some really cool JBP from cuttings, branches scraping the substrate, lots of options. Have a great weekend and hoping someday we can see the Bristlecones, I may take a trip just to get some Pumice, my last trip I got some in Oregon.
Well done
I kept seeing videos of your air layerings and they look really nice, anyways I tried the method on an Albizia Julbrissin, and it looks like it's gonna survive! I tried a couple other trees too, but they don't look as good. Albizia trees have a chemical in them that forms roots, so that's why I think it worked where the others didn't. Also its the middle of summer, maybe next spring I'll try a few more. They take a lot of energy out of me while they root.
Thanks peter
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 thanks Peter
30:17 he’s saying ok. Sound exactly like the one of the meme
Have you tried growing European Silver Fir (Abies Alba) or other Fir trees as bonsai? I've heard the younger plants grow very slowly but I think with enough time they can become beatiful bonsai as well. Cheers!
Peter adds another great video! @11:45 Peter bends the second branch. I wonder what I would do if the branch does break? Is there a way to save it? And @16:50 Peter leaves the nob, instead of cutting it off? How do I know when to cut it or to leave it? Thanks for the help!
🔥💕😍👌👍
What do you use to seal the cuts?
Also Peter what spray do you use to kill of the insects/bugs? I saw some on my maple on the first shoots of spring (in Australia).
Any proprietary insecticide will do.
Hi Peter any advice on what to do if I accidentally pinched the top off a black spruce seedling? Thanks
Be patient and you will get more branching.
Thanks for the video. I would love to have that ficus tree or any of your japanese maples. If I had the$$ I would fly across the pond to get them. I know that sounds crazy but I would. Thanks again
I would love to sell to the US but the regulations make it virtually impossible to ship to US.
I understand 100% Mr Chan about selling to the US. I would like to say thanks for taking time to put videos out for us. It has helped me so much.
Thanks for sharing Peter. Regarding the ficus (first tree), could you please name the species? Looks like microcarpa? Imho the two lower branches growing downwards don't look so good and the appearance of the tree would improve without them 🙏❤🌳
I think it is F. Retusa ?
Hi Peter, I've read there are rules on how low the first branch should be. Do you follow by those rules or you just eye ball to determine what is the best height for the first branch?
Do what you feels look good. Dont be obsessed by rules - Rules are for the observance of Fools but Guidance for the wise.
@@peterchan3100 Thank you for your reply. Your insight really means a lot to me!
If you don’t trim the long branches all way back to the first set of leafs won’t it harden up and be more difficult to manage later??
Not necessarily
When do you use cut branch wound paste? I’ve never seen you using it!
Ficus dont need it and on Maples you only need to use it on thick branches ie over quarter inch Dia
Its mid-late August now here in the states, can I still prune back my Ficus at this time? Or wait till late winter?
I have 2 Ficus. ( Benjamina??, and Narifolia ) Mine stay indoors in the fall and winter, then stay outdoors through spring and summer. They grow VERY vigorously during the spring, all through summer. The Narifolia, I just let grow, as I am not talented or informed enough to know how and when to prune this tree. The other though, had an ugly "Y" shape from the previous owner who through both of these away, I rescued them. I actually cut one of the large "Y" branches off, dipped it in hormone, and behold, I now have a third Ficus!!! But its counter part, is growing so fast, I am lost on how to trim it. None of my trees are actually shaped, so maybe at this point, it doesnt matter how I trim. I would like to create pads though.
poggers
me you believe, free is bonsai. jah!
Do you have any lace leaf maples Peter?
I'm thinking of getting one for bonsai. But I want to make sure it's a tree well suited for bonsai
Do you mean the "Ao Shigitatsusawa" ?
@@peterchan3100 I believe there are a few with lace leaves. Something like the AM Tamukeyama. They usually have weeping habits too.
👍😍😍🤤🤤🤤
👍🍎
Sir jeene are not seen in maple why
How easily will maples bud back, if at all?
Very easy. They can produce new buds 2-3 times in one growing season.
@@peterchan3100 So if I remove all of my tree's branches, it will grow new ones?
@@marcoheath55 Well yes, but I'd do it in stages.
Peter, do you have an email address that i could send you some photos of some of my bonsai for your feedback ?
My maple lost its leaves... its covered by buds but its late in the year...hope it lives
Hope you didn't do magic on them ??
@@peterchan3100 bonsai magic. Was on vacation and that one must not have gotten water. Its still covered with buds so im hopefull it will survive.
Peter, have you ever had trees stolen?
I have had one big raid and of course lots of shop lifting. They are caught on my CCTV but they can seldom be traced. We have a Cancer charity box and that has been stolen 4 times in twenty years
