I didnt think it was possible for someone other than Peter to be as calming, knowledgeable, yet entertaining when it came to trees, but you sir give him a run for his money! I was enthralled, what a beautiful tree!
What an excellent video. I hope that we will see more of you in the future. Peter obviously has great faith in your ability which is well deserved. You made the right decision in not removing that branch, in my opinion. Brilliant.
I am thinking of buying a Hinoki Cypress 2 days later peter is uploading a Video about Styling a Hinoki Cypress :D. You are great Peter and Padmapriya too :)
I like how you didn’t remove many branches and used the natural features of the tree to highlight its beauty. Please keep up the updates. Been great watching you work. 🌲👩🏻🌾
You’ve reminded me that we’re not just cranking out a final product. Discovering what your tree is trying to tell you is a journey that can’t be rushed.
Wirklich eine großartige Arbeit. Vielen Dank für dieses wunderbare Video. Wir bekommen im Herbst eine Zwergmuschelzypresse die ich auch als Gartenbonsai gestalten möchte, dieses Video war eine super Inspiration, Danke. Peter sollte dich immer mal wieder vor die Kamera lassen ich finde deine Arbeitsweise sehr angenehm! Vielen Dank 🙏
Always great to see video from Padmapriya. You have such a calming delivery. 🙏 Your analogy of leaves with solar panels is absolutely spot on. They are the energy factories of any plant turning sunlight into sugars and energy for the tree. ⚡️
A well spent half hour watching this, you did a great job. If you permit me some feedback: don't apologise to the audience that the work you're about to present is not going to be very good or not as good as others. As you said at the end: all things have intrinsic value. The same goes for your own opinion about style. Aesthetic choices are subjective, no need to defend yours against phantoms. "This is my style" is the only justification one needs.
I've watched numerous youtubes and was pleasantly surprised to receive so many NEW tips. 2 small wires on one branch. Twisting when bending. Plucking out the foliage that is on the inside elbow. ...and more. You are very modest! I like deadwood and love the shari you made. And yes, I can see a duplication of the direction of the shari and the branches. Love this. Please do more.
I too enjoyed this tree. I didn't stop watching because I was in suspense as to which decision you were going to take and if I would agree. The tree is beautiful. Your sensitive caution is a virtue and very soothing. Thank you!
I’m glad that you finally agreed to Peter’s asking to making a video of your own, and I’d agree, not removing removing that branch was a good decision. Peter has brought bonsai of its lofty pedestal by using his wisdom and experience to make it accessible to thousands. I hope that you’ll be making more videos of your own in future though, as your informative, humble style bring us something fresh and, for me personally, make the goal of creating my own beautiful trees seem even more achievable. Thank you.
Great video Padmapriya - I vote for more, it is great to see another artist’s take and it was both informative and deeply meditative. Thank you and great job!!!
It is not bad, it is great. I wish it would be mine ( although lately I am wanting less and less :) ). I also like your way of explaining, you really respect the tree too.
Something Karm, soothing the way you present Padmapriya, Peter has his style that is all his own, that I love to watch, him at work, fast, direct, full on, that comes from many years of experience . You on the other hand are Kalm in what you do and how you speak. A good double act. Oh the end result was a very nice tree that most people would be very happy to own.
Nice one very good video. I really a beginner myself meanly everything j know is from herons. I have a hinoki I've not done much to it but I will over this weekend thanks very much for the video keep the coming . I liked what you did with your hinoki. It's so calming working on trees that's one reason why I love ..have a good Bank Holiday. 👍
What a delight to have this pop up this morning! Wonderful work Padmapriya, great to see you again! Double wire method is so handy too, looks much neater! Looking forward to my next visit to Herons when time allows, thanks again for the video :)
Excellent job, beautiful transformation. Glad you kept the girdle root and strip of bark. Keeping it in the back balances It’s appearance as 2 halves, on the proximal thicker curve to left and the thinner split branch to right of the trunk.
You've won me over to your method of instruction Padmapriya. I need to watch this again or more. The Hinoki Cypress is so my favourite shrub. At 20min. I could see a beautiful fully mature tree. Just a splendid looking tree. The removal of the bark of the large exposed root down to the Cambrian level is so cool. The idea of doubling up on that wire for the two branches is genius. The 'be or not to be' front branch' for me is (to be). Lastly, the teaching of the lower branch's as solar panels, what leave what to remove. My goodness. I have enjoyed this. Your softly spoken voice doesn't is as well. a good thing. Looking forward to seeing you again; hopefully, Canada
Thank you, Padmapriya. Nice work, Hinoki cypress lend themselves to so many options that one can get really tangled up. A peaceful approach to your presentation. Stay well.
Wonderful video. Thank you. I will try out the wringing technique on my oak trees. I believe it will help flatten out some of the branches. Your Hinoki cypress turned out beautiful. 😎
It is a lovely video, thank you Padmapriya! You are thinking out loud and it gives me a lot of inspiration. The bonsai which you created suits you very well. :)
I agree! Your manner is so relaxing, and your skill and experience are pretty obvious. The big tip I picked up, and there were several, were about twisting the fibres of the branches while shaping them. Yes, it is a very good video on the cypress. You should be encouraged in no uncertain terms!
Hey, thanks for the video! It's nice to watch someone who is not a 'master' (no disrespect of course) going through the same thought processes and choices I always struggle with as a amateur. Thanks again
That "twist the branch as you wire" trick to change the angle of the foliage is brilliant! I'm working with a thuja and I've noticed some of the foliage isn't sitting right. On the next rewire ill use you trick. Thank you!
You are working for hours at this tree. I am worried about all the little roots to dry out. Why not cover them with a wet blanket while styling the branches? - Great result, thank you for sharing.
Great video and work. Always nice to see Padmapriya's work and what he has too say. Thank you for sharing looking forward to a revisit of this tree when it comes to second styling. Thanks again great job
I hope to see more videos from you. Seems like it difficult because you are so humble. However we need you. Maybe next time they could attach a small mic to you. Might make things easier so you don’t have to raise your voice. Thank you for the great lesson.
Padmapriya I love that you took your time to discover that beautiful bonsai hidden within the Hinoki Cypress. I’m inspired to buy one in a few months here in Massachusetts, USA and see what might be found. 🙏
I found one today at a local landscape nursery. The trunk is very thick and I feel it has some real potential. I’m excited to watch your video again before I begin the journey.
Every little bit of information is relevant to everybody who are learning how to bonsai. So thank you iam impressed. As Mr Peter Chann say reparations reparations, so you should do more utube video's. Ernie smith from brisbane Australia
You have made an excellent video Padmapriya. The level of detail and your reasoning for what choices you make are important to us, we don't all know how to suck eggs! I look forward to more in depth videos like this one from you in the future.
I really enjoyed your video. I have watched it twice now as I have an hinoki cypress and intend to start styling it this year. I'm sure I will be watchinh it several times during the process. Thank you Padmapriya
Way too humble. Peter should plop you down in front of a camera more often. I think you did a great job, was very soothing to watch/listen to!
I didnt think it was possible for someone other than Peter to be as calming, knowledgeable, yet entertaining when it came to trees, but you sir give him a run for his money! I was enthralled, what a beautiful tree!
We all have the same approach and that's why the similarity.
Peter your channel has a great future as you highlight your apprentices keeping up your tradition of lowering all of our blood pressure.
Calming voice makes me doze off, then I end up rewinding and watching the video multiple times. 👏👏
Thanks Padmapriya. Nice tree.
Padmapriya. 👏👏
Don't beat yourself up man, it looks incredible!
It’s Padmapriya! I haven’t seen him in awhile. I was worried he had moved on. I love his videos.
Such a soothing voice!
What an excellent video. I hope that we will see more of you in the future. Peter obviously has great faith in your ability which is well deserved. You made the right decision in not removing that branch, in my opinion. Brilliant.
Ooh, now I want to run to the nursery and find a good sized Hinoki! Padmapriya, you are so humble about your talent. Beautiful job! Thank you.
I am thinking of buying a Hinoki Cypress 2 days later peter is uploading a Video about Styling a Hinoki Cypress :D. You are great Peter and Padmapriya too :)
Padmapriya has natural artistic talent.
I think you did a outstanding job of styling the tree. It has a natural look to it, not striped of most of its branches.
Great video Padmapriya, well thought out and presented, another Bonsai Master in the making and a great asset to Herons.
I like how you didn’t remove many branches and used the natural features of the tree to highlight its beauty. Please keep up the updates. Been great watching you work. 🌲👩🏻🌾
You are such a soft spoken humble man. I’ve really enjoyed your video😊

Beautiful !
You’ve reminded me that we’re not just cranking out a final product. Discovering what your tree is trying to tell you is a journey that can’t be rushed.
Very well done. You and Peter complement each other well.
Super awesome stufffffffff!!!
What a nice surprise,. Thx for sharing Padma 🙏. I'll try the branch twisting trick later 👌.
I really hope this video takes off, really nice to watch and informative
Wirklich eine großartige Arbeit. Vielen Dank für dieses wunderbare Video.
Wir bekommen im Herbst eine Zwergmuschelzypresse die ich auch als Gartenbonsai gestalten möchte, dieses Video war eine super Inspiration, Danke.
Peter sollte dich immer mal wieder vor die Kamera lassen ich finde deine Arbeitsweise sehr angenehm! Vielen Dank 🙏
Beautiful Hinoki Bonsai, I am from Indonesia appretiate for your Bonsai program. 👍🏾🙏🏾
I'm glad you went with that final branch at the same level as the others. It really gives the illusion of the tree having two levels. I like it!
Always great to see video from Padmapriya. You have such a calming delivery. 🙏
Your analogy of leaves with solar panels is absolutely spot on. They are the energy factories of any plant turning sunlight into sugars and energy for the tree. ⚡️
Wow, Stunning work.
OMG Padmapriya! I missed him! He is so soothing like a breeze in a hot day. I love everything about his work!
Terrific. More please. Especially your expertise with penjing.
A well spent half hour watching this, you did a great job.
If you permit me some feedback: don't apologise to the audience that the work you're about to present is not going to be very good or not as good as others. As you said at the end: all things have intrinsic value. The same goes for your own opinion about style. Aesthetic choices are subjective, no need to defend yours against phantoms. "This is my style" is the only justification one needs.
Such a lovely comment and so true!
Ask Dan Robinson and his gnarly trees, it's his own style and not a green helmet amongst them.
Great job , enjoyed watching this video many more please 😊🇬🇧❤️

Well done my friend, looks great 👍
Really beautiful, hope you come back and make more vids!
Great presentation.
Entertaining, informative, relaxing. Everything one wants from a TH-cam video. Now, I must go and put some of this into practice! Thank you my friend.
super! thank you make more !!
Great video!
I too enjoyed this tree. I didn't stop watching because I was in suspense as to which decision you were going to take and if I would agree. The tree is beautiful. Your sensitive caution is a virtue and very soothing. Thank you!

Beautiful work

Thank you so much, Padmapriya! Soothing and informative, as usually.
hi
NICE JOB 😀 HOPE TO SEE MORE
Good job dude
Great job👏
Really enjoyed your class. Hope you do more of them in the future. The tree turned out well and your idea of the Shari was unique. Great job!!
What a delight to have this pop up this morning! Wonderful work Padmapriya, great to see you again! Double wire method is so handy too, looks much neater! Looking forward to my next visit to Herons when time allows, thanks again for the video :)
Great video Padmapriya! No need to be shy there was a lot of wonderful information for you to share.
Excellent job, beautiful transformation. Glad you kept the girdle root and strip of bark. Keeping it in the back balances

Beautiful tree. Very well executed
Nice work... own it ... you are informative and enjoyable to watch.
Thanks ☺️
Beautifully designed ! Well done👏👏👏👏👏👍✊😊❤️🙏
in my experience novices don't make root shari Padma 😊 awesome job. Bags of talent.
Fascinating, beautiful and informative. Loved this video!! Thank you 😊
Thank you, Padmapriya. Nice work, Hinoki cypress lend themselves to so many options that one can get really tangled up. A peaceful approach to your presentation. Stay well.
Wonderful video. Thank you. I will try out the wringing technique on my oak trees. I believe it will help flatten out some of the branches. Your Hinoki cypress turned out beautiful. 😎
Good choice in keeping that last branch and creating two layers. Much nicer effect.
Wonderful to watch such a humble gentleman creating such great art! I could watch you shape all day.
It was so realxing that i felt to sleep 👍🤣 but i watch the hole video when i got up
Strong of you that you took the challenge to make this video! Very well done, beautiful results, the video as well as the tree!
Very nice job.
verry nice, love your wabisabi style of thinking or being , welldone.
It is a lovely video, thank you Padmapriya! You are thinking out loud and it gives me a lot of inspiration. The bonsai which you created suits you very well. :)
Love it, thanks for sharing.
I agree! Your manner is so relaxing, and your skill and experience are pretty obvious. The big tip I picked up, and there were several, were about twisting the fibres of the branches while shaping them. Yes, it is a very good video on the cypress. You should be encouraged in no uncertain terms!
Hey, thanks for the video! It's nice to watch someone who is not a 'master' (no disrespect of course) going through the same thought processes and choices I always struggle with as a amateur. Thanks again
Beautiful. Absolutely lovely and the treatment of the root was brilliant. Thank you from Boston, USA 🙏🏽
That "twist the branch as you wire" trick to change the angle of the foliage is brilliant! I'm working with a thuja and I've noticed some of the foliage isn't sitting right. On the next rewire ill use you trick. Thank you!
great video padmapriya! you explained your thought processes very well and i really appreciated that. cheers!
Thanks so much for your lesson. As a beginner I am so happy you went slow.
Love him. So humble but so knowledgeable
You are working for hours at this tree. I am worried about all the little roots to dry out. Why not cover them with a wet blanket while styling the branches? - Great result, thank you for sharing.
A wonderful way to start the day padma! I enjoy your videos and your style of thinking very much. 🙏🏻
Great video and work. Always nice to see Padmapriya's work and what he has too say. Thank you for sharing looking forward to a revisit of this tree when it comes to second styling. Thanks again great job

i love videos like this. Great person, great skills, great humility, calm, polite. Thank you so much!
What a pleasure it is to listen to Mr P! Nice work and nice video! :)
You have made an excellent video Padmapriya. The level of detail and your reasoning for what choices you make are important to us, we don't all know how to suck eggs! I look forward to more in depth videos like this one from you in the future.
