Love the robin! So cute! Robin might become a bonsai master.
Beatrice Potter's "Peter Chan & Friends"!
Then Peter would be the Batman of bonsai
@@Opceedee The Masked Tanuki.
I would call it Splinter, because he learnt to be a ninja by watching a human master, plus you know…. Trees have splinters
The little robin is a very curious student. It is at home in your peaceful environment. Bravo Master!
The robin has so much personality 😊. Made my day to see something so worry free and just happy to be alive
"I hope the robin is not distracting the viewers."
I was totally distracted by the robin.
My respect to the camera man who was able to get the robin in the shot and still give you full access to what was being done on the tree.
At 2:17 you can see the robin snag a worm!
Didn't got that one... I was focused on the robin
@@alyssarose4220 thanks!😆
Is this man a wizard?! He's doing bonsai, wild birds flock to him. It's magical.
Omg you’re right lol
Gunna say the same thing. Magical shit my brothers and sisters.
Disney princess for SURE! 😂
Imagine the robin thinks he is the star in the videos and tells what Peter is doing: " And here you can see how Peter shakes the worms out of the root ball by turning and moving the tree a little. Sometimes he uses other methods to get the worms out that are very ineffective, like putting wire on the tree and bending it. Well, that also results in getting some worms out, but I think he needs to rethink that method..."
What?
Like ratatouille
Lol
absolutely love your idea :D now I also will hear a little robin voice in my head :) :)
that Robin getting all those one on one Bonsai lessons for free
The robin certainly is gorgeous, I love his attitude!! He’s a great addition to the videos.
"In the years to come the robin, having learnt the art of bonsai, taught four teenage squirrels how to prune for interesting shape and wire properly..." :D
You can write a bonsai fairy tale for children based on this idea.
@@peterchan3100 reminds me of Mr. Splinter ( the rat in ninja turtles) who mastered martial arts by copying his human master
I have been so enjoying your latest videos. Especially the one where walked around and demonstrated how many plants you found in the yard that he could us as free bonsai material. Here again in this video your showing that even plants that look to like they’d never make a suitable bonsai. Peter not only is an excellent teacher with a wealth of knowledge to share, but he also makes a conscious effort to show that bonsai is accessible to anyone with limited investment. Most, if not all, of the most popular bonsai channels on TH-cam are nearly the opposite. Cost was always what kept me from getting into Bonsai, and I thought that way because those channels never offer alternative options for costly materials. I’d always thought that was such a shame. After I discovered Peter Chan, my thinking changed for the better forever. Thank you again for showing me and so many others that anyone can start practicing bonsai. BTW....who thinks Peter is a wizard or Disney Prince or something because he’s got robins landing on his hands while he works? Looks like paradise!
Thank you for your kind and perceptive comments. I must be doing something right.
After watching that video I know feel heart broken about all the trees I pruned back or pulled out of my fence line not thinking that I would later want to pot and use them.
This little robin prancing around patiently waiting for clippings small enough for it and watching you is one of the best things I've seen in a long time. Combined with your soothing explanations it's wonderful.
That rockin robin made my afternoon more enjoyable....and less boring!!
I am first and foremost here for the bonsai lesson - though that robin just makes me smile every time. "I hope the robin isn't distracting" you say, and the robin comes running like you said his name! Such a sweet little thing
Suddenly a robin appears next to Peter... hmm he lives in a beautiful house with a garden, has a group of faithful helpers, animals like him... it's confirmed Peter is a Disney princess.
That robin needs his own TH-cam channel 😁
I just love the bird.. It says so much about the artist.. Thank you for your videos. ❤
I LOVE that first tree!
Curious Robin 😘 .. Thx for sharing Peter 👍 turned out to be something indeed. Next one pleased 😁.
I am a landscape gardener and the red throats come with us every day...great video
The bird is a good addition to the video. He's your sidekick now.
I think the impossible tree turned out great.
When you put the juniper on the turntable, I was like "where's the robin, where's the robin, where's the robin", and when he popped up, I literally cheered out loud!
Oh!! Good to see the little robin is still around.
The second tree that you removed the bark (jinned?) off of the back short branch; gave the whole tree a good measure of depth. Lovely. A well-known artist once told me, that, when you think you are almost done, leave it for an hour, or a day, then go back to it. seventy percent of the time, you find that your work is finished. And as you said, always step back once in a while as you work on a project, to get a better perspective, a feel, for your project. I have not not learned something each and every time I watch your videos. Thank=you, dear sir.
Love how that little bird is just hanging around your turntable ❤️
Love the chimta “Indian plyers”❤️🧘♂️🌳
This one I purchased in Bhopal
I think the second juniper despite all its traditional issues still makes for a very pleasant overall effect when all of its unusual features are considered in concert. If the foliage is further refined with a little more wiring and after some new growth comes in over the next couple years, I think the tree will probably appeal very strongly to certain customers who like a natural look.
The bird is not a disturb, it's an additional adorable moment, that shows the unity with the nature)))
I think there may have been a mistake in the editing on this video, as there were a couple of repeated sections.
However, despite that, the information given in all of your videos is wonderful and has inspired me to start producing some of my own bonsai! Currently, I'm waiting on cuttings from 2 different types of willow to root, and I can't wait to see what I can do with them!
Estimate @ 26:00 mins Peter's first specimen makes a reappearance (and is promptly discarded for a repeat treatment of the second specimen for ten minutes or so) until @ 35:00 mins
@@clarekrishan1597 Thanks for the timestamps
Anyway, I watched it three times and I'm going to watch it again or twice.
That first one really came out nice. I’m sure after a season of more foliage filling in it will be amazing.
Thx 4 having this time with you. Now I understand what bonsai is meaning, it's religion, it is opsession, it is sen ... Only seeing the truth, the middle, the nature... It's now and here... freedom and peace and nature.
The robin and Peter! A great day indeed!!
I really like how the first one turned out. Makes me think of a lightning strike. And the robin is adorable how its not afraid of you.
The robin indicates to me how much Peter is one with nature. When animals show no fear of humans they walk the path of Heaven as indicated by Chinese philosophy
Robins are notoriously confident around humans. They'll pop along as soon as they see you digging up bugs!
Sunday breakfast with Peter time again.
18:06 feeding time
26:10 oops but loved watching it again
Both trees turned out great but the first one is stunning.
Stay well
Stay safe
I am so grateful knowing your style sir. Thanks a lot. These may apply to mine.
Another great video thank you once again x
Thanks so much for creating masterpieces of bonsai. I really appreciate your words of wisdom as you teach. I Iook forward to the next video.
Peter, you may have to consider changing the name from Herons Bonsai to “Robins Bonsai” !
T-Shirts are coming... ;-)
Love the little robin just waiting for his worms 😍
I think Peter could plant a broom stick and grow it into a beautiful bonsai.
I have done that as well - with Willows
The robin is the star of the show!
Those trees turned out amazing! Thanks for sharing. Oh, love your robin, waiting for food!
The little bird returned .... Greetings from Italy
The little robin, the bonsai and Peter. A great and harmonious meeting of nature. A great job, especially the last tree shown.
im also here to comment on the robin. hi bird.
That’s awesome 👏🏻
That one downvoter needs to get a life. Thanks for another excellent hour spent with us, Peter :D
You get them everywhere
Thank you from Stratham, New Hampshire. U.S.A.
Is that Robin wild? Might be the cutest thing I've ever seen
These "rubbish" trees, after Peters touch, so much resemble the work of Nature and have a quality that transcends the grandiose traditionals. Kinda like the uninhibited drawing of a toddler compared to a Rembrandt. There is so much, if not more, to appreciate in these "undesirables". Thanks for showing us how you bring out the best of each!
That red bark coming through is incredibly stunning.
king 👑 Red Robin the bird 🐦 he loves you and is addicted to your videos like us Bonsai Fans 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🍀
26:08 The video is looping back to the 1st tree, the 2nd tree resume at about 38:20
The 1st tree come out nicely, the moss & the top looks nice, the 2nd are a bit too long, hopefully there will be some branches come out from the straight part so maybe the top can be cut off.
Sorry about that - video editing error, but I hope it does not detract from the overall effect.
That bird is cool as hell hangin with his buddy..."whatcha doin ...,why ya doin it"?....huh...,huh
Thanks Peter. Two nice trees from a good demo. Nice to see Robin around still.
Thank you, Peter, for another demonstration of what can be created from "impossible" material. For those of us who cannot afford, or do not want to purchase, finished bonsais, impossible material is what we get to choose from. It is inspiring to see what you can do with it!
I like the cast offs
You can almost see the Robin flying through the branches
Whoa, deja vu.
How much would the second tree be sold for? Before and after the work?
Sunny Sunday morning and Master Chan... best way to start the day
Robin was very cute.. he does seem to want to learn, but gets dizzy on turntable.
Love the robin...so tame...salute u sir.
Yes, yes, the bonsai lessons are quite nice... now make a video about how you train the birds to come and talk to you...
Dont see any videos about this steaming method for bending the jin, look forward to it!
Mr. Peter, can you make a couple of videos with flowering bonsai such as Azalea, Bougainvillea, and Camellia?
I love the Robin too!
Peter upstaged by a robin!
I've been battling 3 kittens. While I rummage around the branches they're swatting at the other side. I may inadvertently be creating Bonsai's greatest enemies! Oh no!😱
i love Robin :)
Thank you guys. It's always nice to get something out of nothing.
I've yet to find a decent answer I understand so I'm going to ask; when you refer to seasons, do you mean Spring, Summer, etc or years of Springs and Summers?
Seasons mean the 4 seasons.
@@peterchan1720 thank you Peter. I thought so much but when you hear it mentioned it sometimes sounds like people mean years.
2:17 and 18:07 The moment the Robin eats the worm.
I love the part about, when you copy, it becomes more of a craft than an art. Perfect direct comparison :)
Robin's bonsai. ;)
Exactly in South Africa and love the peerieneef style. Not sure if it's world wide recognized but use it on my local trees
I was in SA in 1996 for 3 weeks. You may not remember
This is an amazing video Peter. I am quite new on this art and don’t know what is the purpose of removing the bark of the tree?
Of course a bird is just hanging out with him. I'm surprised it's not a magically miniaturized robin to match the trees.
Peter, would you be able to do a video explaining how to trim the foliage on juniper chinensis
I have one and can't find any information on how prune the juvenile foilage.
I do talk about that when trimming generally but not enough to make a full video aobut trimming just Junipers.
@@peterchan3100 I just can't find any information about pruning the spiky foilage on my san jose juniper. I understand it's not enough content for its own video. I would really appreciate it if you could demonstrate in one of your videos how to do it?
Marvelous
Learning from u is so liberating
The way u said that all bonsais dont have to look the Japanese models
Peter u r so.adorable to us
Ur Bonsai tutorials aee studded with moral tips too
Thanks a ton
I am also working on a difficult project , hope to send u pictures when it takes a final shape
Send me a picture of what you have made
Heartwarming... looks like your mascot was hungry 🙏
World: what do you want to be when you grow up?
Me: A robin in Peter Chans garden…☺️
Mr. Robin does not distract me at all. I find him as a fascinating helper for you by looking for any insects in the root ball and cleaning them out for you. Great bonsai student.
Lil bird bud its all up on this one! Heck yeah!
I really admire you. You are doing what you love and your heart desires. I purchased my very first Bonsai in 1978 and the second one in 1982. Needless to say that both died since there was not much information about Bonsai those days. Now, I am retired and learning a lot from from you. I am intending to create a few Bonsai and find your videos extremely useful. Many thanks.
the robin is looking for earthworm
If anything bonsai masters are real artists 🙏
The calm demeanor of Peter is which probably explains the reasoning for the robin getting so close and or worms getting free of the roots as well. Yet, Achieving that level of calm in which birds aren't too nervous around me is a goal of mine.
The jin pliers are used as tongs to pick up hot utensils from fire.. not for making bread, the grip will break the bread, for bread there is a separate tongs made from thin flat sheets of metal.. by declaring robbin as a mascot.. the heron might be getting flutters in his/her heart 😁
General question have you ever done a rose bonsai
I've got a juniper in the ground on the north of the house. The base is about a foot in diameter with 5 trunks from 3 to 6". It's huge...but has no foliage for 6 feet on the trunk. It looks like a ragged lollipop. Should I wrap splits?
I'm leaning to leaving it in the ground so it stays strong.
Peter, how about putting the tree on a separate table instead of the bench, and you can then work on it while facing the camera? Thank you for all you do.
I sometimes do work on a separate table but difficult to work from the back as I cant see what I am doing.
the Robin absolutely stole the show 😍😍😍😍😍💓💓💓💓💓💓💓🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴
I like both trees! Would the 2nd one be able to get a twists and bend in the main trunk?
Your robin is wonderful. I'm hoping he'll sit in the top of the tree while you work on the rest, though he's more likely wondering whether there are worms in the root ball.
Maybe Peter is a secret Disney princes
That robin is adorable! Shows how wonderful of a person you are that it isn't afraid of you
It's not a common Juniper, because Juniperus communis so far as I know do not produce scale like leaves...
Also needles don't merge smoothly with the base...
I also dont think its a communis, maybe a Chinensis of some sort because of the scales. But with a lot of juvenile growth
Or a Pfitzeriana
@@ronaldgosselink7519 I also think that's it must be chinensis but not pfitzeriana because pfitzeriana shows prostrate habit and doesn't generally grow straight trunks (unless trained).
how to get a maple tree for my lawn in India ?
could you graft limbs to the base?
Merci ;)
which particular felco secateurs is it in the beginning of the video? thank you :D
Early bird catches the worm, nothing new here. Great video Peter. Those European red breasted robins are smaller than the American ones I see here in the states.
