I like the tree with the branch that is an arm going in front of the pot, like the master butler of a very wealthy family. Also, his tip to leave empty spaces between bunches of foliage along the branch, is exactly what it needs! He's got an excellent eye.
Another stunning upload for our Sunday breakfast with Peter. Great work Padmapriya loved how it turned out. Thanks also to Jack on the camera. Stay well Stay safe
Full botanical name! Yes. Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️ This makes it a lot easier for a global audience to identify the tree by the universal name. I often struggle with the local British names for some trees or miss the second part of the name to identify the species.
The owner of the garden shop I worked for hated my advice to customers. "I want a mild organic fertilizer for better blooms on my rose bush..." "There's this, this, this, and this. Do you like bananas? You COULD...".
2 parts love 1 part hope then stir in a little time and you will be cooking in no time.. when your good at what you do you don't need secrets!!!😉-not your average bonsai dude "young brown and a tattoo on the face🤯" plant happiness and grow love + a little cannabis
I have been teaching myself watching Peter's videos clips. They are always so informative and inspiring. This is so good to see this video too as it makes the process so clear! I have the reluctant to cut off foliage but watching this session it was great to see the bonsai emerge!
Wonderful video So informative and love the wait and see what speaks to you approach. I could see it appearing as Padma worked. Thank you so much Peter and team. Truly a joy to watch you work together ❤
Thank you for these type of videos! Always wanted to try it so I got into Bonsai last spring and began by watching basic videos from herons bonsai. I'm happy to say I'm excited to begin my second year and continue to apply the things I've learned from this channel!!!!
This is perfect material for beginners like me who go browsing Bonsai nurseries and want to buy beginner bonsais that need some styling and trimming. Great resource to guide us in the right direction. Thank you
I love how you said at some point the tree will speak to me. I've only just started this month snipping away at things, but I feel exactly the same way. Start sniffing the inside, take off the bottoms of the branches, and then at some point the tree kind of speaks to you and the idea comes together. Beautiful
Padmapriya is a gem and this has been a huuuuuge inspiration for me! I just bought a similar juniper and I'll see what I can do with it after getting a few more things (thicker wire, for one, and proper soil ingredients) tomorrow. Will be my very first try. Btw: I absolutely love Padmapriyas accent and voice. Could listen to him speak all day long!
I love this vídeo! Really clever Peter! Passing on the art of bonsai and the art of teaching via youtube to Padmapriya. Padmapriya, you are an artist beautiful beautiful bonsai!!! I'm sure that with practice you will void give your back to the camera and always think that we want to see what you doing... In time will come as second nature. Ah! A go pro for Padmapriya.
I want to thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge about Bonsai. I haven't watched everyone yet but I will. Right now I am trying to learn as much as I can about Junipers. I tool your advice and went to our Home depots and Lowes to purchase the Junipers they have in pots, hopefully create a lovely Bonsai.
What I appreciate about this channel, compared to other bonsai channels, is the honest, down-to-earth approach. Other channels obviously present high quality bonsai; some of them exquisite with high end accompanying video production that are virtual art pieces in themselves. But... they don't explain themselves nearly so well and I come away feeling as though the art is unapproachable and inscrutable. They're perfect specimens, and I'm always somewhat suspicious of perfection. Somehow it makes me feel as though confidence is lacking. Not so here; here, experiments and mistakes are embraced, thinking is done out loud and any tool is used that can get the job done. There's an organic, friendly ease to the whole process. Oddly, it reminds me of Jamie Oliver, who always makes you feel as though, if he can do it, so can you. He's not producing Michelin Star cuisine for the elite, but he produces food for living and to enjoy, without losing the creative art. That's how I feel here.
i already love these two guys the moment i opened this video, i am subscribed! great vibe. and this is good to know. i was looking in a bonsai book and noticed a style that looked a bit like how my baby juniper is possibly developing towards, there are a couple cascade or windswept styles that ive seen that might work for my juniper.
Good job Padma. It is always difficult working under the eye of the master, even more so before the camera. I like how you described your analytical approach to design. Your “ birds and squirrels” idea is very insightful. I will use that in my own designs. Your cascading example is excellent. Thank you.
Excellent video, very instructive! Thanks to Peter for the knowledgeable comments, to Padmapriya for the clear and calm instruction (especially all the basics, which we don't always get to see), and to Jack (?) for the wonderful camera work. It was great to see all the action so clearly close up! A great team effort!
I am a third of the way through making a juniper cascade (same variety used here), this is helpful to refer to thank you. I am inspired to get going with it tomorrow.
I have about three or four just growing some density after I trimmed them up and guided them. Beautiful cascades, and they are all shaped like little sea stars! I should give them some TCL on this fine Sunday! Thank you for your helpful tips and continued education!
Thank you for helping to encourage others to use their talents! You seem to be a good mentor! Perhaps Peter can start his own channel! 😃 Thanks for the great camera work, also! Working in a close up really helps show the details! 😊
In the past few years I find myself every spring looking for this plant at my local nursery. As well as hiinoki , and acers just to do exactly this. They are very easy to bonsai and look great. One thing about the Hinoki ( you did that in another video) it will not sprout on the trunk or the mature branches so when you cut away, it may not fill in later.. Understanding how each tree grows also counts. I love your series and your advice. thanks for posting this.
I am coming back to Bonsai after a 20-yr break due to repeated military moves killing off my original trees. I have purchased some "started" trees, but I'm always so afraid to cut them because they are expensive, comparatively speaking. I am now empowered to go to my local nursery and experiment with regular stock and CUT! Thank you so much for these videos!
Well done Pad great choice of pot again great video just received my birthday present from my husband one of your Chinese elm and a 5group of dawn redwood beautiful thank you Peter 😊🇬🇧❤️ Jane from bath x
Loved the close ups of clipping branches and extra foliage where one wires a branch. Have you ever thought of having a camera that views from above to record what is going on?
I love the result of work on the larger tree. I would cut the small branches behind the base of the trunk to expose it even more and lift the foliage visually away from the pot.
I like the tree with the branch that is an arm going in front of the pot, like the master butler of a very wealthy family.
Also, his tip to leave empty spaces between bunches of foliage along the branch, is exactly what it needs!
He's got an excellent eye.
Another stunning upload for our Sunday breakfast with Peter.
Great work Padmapriya loved how it turned out.
Thanks also to Jack on the camera.
Stay well
Stay safe
Great video. Padmapriya has a very pleasant and calm voice that fits well with the meditative aspect of creating bonsai.
I always struggle with material so dense, the tip to trim weak branches near the center and branch base was easy to understand
Just do the thing where you make it look like how you want it to.
Full botanical name! Yes. Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️ This makes it a lot easier for a global audience to identify the tree by the universal name. I often struggle with the local British names for some trees or miss the second part of the name to identify the species.
"We use a secret formula [for the compost], and that formula is..." Oh Peter, you do make me laugh :D
The owner of the garden shop I worked for hated my advice to customers.
"I want a mild organic fertilizer for better blooms on my rose bush..."
"There's this, this, this, and this. Do you like bananas? You COULD...".
The secret is in the sharing! 😉

I think we are very fond of this endearing character
I have been teaching myself watching Peter's videos clips. They are always so informative and inspiring. This is so good to see this video too as it makes the process so clear! I have the reluctant to cut off foliage but watching this session it was great to see the bonsai emerge!
Yay more Padmapriya content :D
Your videos are always the most fun to watch!
Good morning to Peter and the team as well as those viewing this amazing video.Have a productive day and all the best from Trinidad.🌴☀️
What a wonderful tutorial. It is really encouraging for a new person
Lovely work from Padmapriya as always. I'd love for him to start some series on this channel.
Your comments on not masterpieces but the fun of creating are so true. That is why I watch everyone of your videos
I love this collaboration!
Nice work, Padmapriya.
Two very stunning bonsai by Padmapriya! So wow!
Amazing, love the cascading junipers! I-pad watch time has tripled since I discovered this channel. ❤
Wonderful video So informative and love the wait and see what speaks to you approach. I could see it appearing as Padma worked. Thank you so much Peter and team. Truly a joy to watch you work together ❤
Thankyou so much, these videos make things so much easier and always lift my spirits!

Thank you gentlemen your program was just wonderful, totaly enjoyed this one.
This is perfect material for beginners like me who go browsing Bonsai nurseries and want to buy beginner bonsais that need some styling and trimming. Great resource to guide us in the right direction. Thank you
Watch a complete transformation from beginning to end is super helpful. Also, the tag team approach is fantastic. You learn twice as much.
I love how you said at some point the tree will speak to me. I've only just started this month snipping away at things, but I feel exactly the same way. Start sniffing the inside, take off the bottoms of the branches, and then at some point the tree kind of speaks to you and the idea comes together. Beautiful
That bird at 3:30 just chilling over there while they are making bonsai
no way bro thanks for pointing out

Absolutely Gorgeous Bonsai Beautiful
Great tutorial as always! Thank you Padma and Peter, you are definitely the best online! 😘
I do so enjoy the laid back approach to bonsai. It is supposed to be fun, and in my eyes not always does it have to be competitive. Thank You
I found your channel this week. I have tried my hand at making three bonsais already. Thanks for showing how it can be an attainable art.
Beautiful trees and great team work. Thank you for sharing.👏👍🙌
Thank you both for a spectacular video. Herons Bonsai is hands down the best you tube channel!
Really appreciate the vocalization of your thoughts as you design the tree. Great video.
That is gorgeous.
Such beauty.I love your videos. Thank you.
Oh it’s so lovely, shape and pot‼️. Could watch you both all day😊
I love this vídeo! Really clever Peter! Passing on the art of bonsai and the art of teaching via youtube to Padmapriya. Padmapriya, you are an artist beautiful beautiful bonsai!!! I'm sure that with practice you will void give your back to the camera and always think that we want to see what you doing... In time will come as second nature. Ah! A go pro for Padmapriya.
Just gorgeous! Now I have to buy a juniper.
I love the result of the two trees! The large one makes me think of a big sickle moon in the clouds :)
Absolutely magical to watch and hopefully learn. Thank you.
Absolutely gorgeous and so much fun!

Such a great video. I am a complete beginner here and this helped me so much. Thank you.
Very nice ,Padmapriya ,well done.
One of my favorite plants to work with
Stunning trees
It’s like the tree will speak to you at some point “this is what I wanna be!” Hahaha
A lovely cascade!
Another brilliant video...thank you!

Stunning design padmapriya. Thank you for another great video.
I like this dude, bring him on again💪
Really beautiful

Your “ birds and squirrels” idea is very insightful. I will use that in my own designs. Your cascading example is excellent. Thank you.
Thank you Padmapriya. That was very instructive!
Very nice video. This is gonna be a spring project for me😁👍🏼
That made me Cry 🥲 it was so beautiful Bonsai when in the pot , like listening to Pavarotti 🎵 🎼 🎶 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great work 👍👍👍
Beautiful pieces of work, especially the cascaded tree.
Great demo, loved the result
LOVELY!!!!
Excellent video, very instructive!

It was great to see all the action so clearly close up! A great team effort!
I like how the cascading branch large one kind of curls around the pot!
Really nice!
I never saw this kind of design before, I think.
Really fantastic job . Looks great in the pot . Thanks for sharing 🙏
I love Priya's work!
Well done! 😍🌳
Stunning and beautiful ❤️
LINDAS FORMAS DIERON A ESAS ESPECIES Y LO MAS FUE EL SUSTRATO...GRAN FORMULA GRACIAS POR COMPARTIRLA.!
Congratulations on such a beautiful creation! I will be starting my own version very soon 🙏🏻
I am a third of the way through making a juniper cascade (same variety used here), this is helpful to refer to thank you. I am inspired to get going with it tomorrow.
Those came out very nice.
Just love & appreciate your videos.
I have about three or four just growing some density after I trimmed them up and guided them.
Beautiful cascades, and they are all shaped like little sea stars!
I should give them some TCL on this fine Sunday!
Thank you for your helpful tips and continued education!
thank you so much for the vid heron, you have been the sole inspiror for me to order a procumbens nana :)
Truly beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the Demonstration good finish for this Tree
Very pretty!
I love cascading bonsai. A very inspiring work. Thank you very much :-)
Thank you for helping to encourage others to use their talents! You seem to be a good mentor! Perhaps Peter can start his own channel! 😃 Thanks for the great camera work, also! Working in a close up really helps show the details! 😊
Truely stunning. Glad I stumbled upon your channel.
Padmapriya my friend, that is a lovely cascade.
If you ever get to the states give me a ring and I will give you a local bonsai tour.
Nice work.
Wonderful video, thanks
Wow amazing.

Nice work Padmapriya, was looking for some Bonsai inspiration and found you here, seen a few other videos with you. keep up the good work.
I am coming back to Bonsai after a 20-yr break due to repeated military moves killing off my original trees. I have purchased some "started" trees, but I'm always so afraid to cut them because they are expensive, comparatively speaking. I am now empowered to go to my local nursery and experiment with regular stock and CUT! Thank you so much for these videos!
They're lovely!
I have two procumbens. I can't wait to work on.
Well done Pad great choice of pot again great video just received my birthday present from my husband one of your Chinese elm and a 5group of dawn redwood beautiful thank you Peter 😊🇬🇧❤️ Jane from bath x
Great video👍👍👍
Lovely gentle soul
Curse you Peter and Padma for constantly making me go out to my local nursery every other day to try out a new shrub.
Loved the close ups of clipping branches and extra foliage where one wires a branch. Have you ever thought of having a camera that views from above to record what is going on?
Magnifique !
Padmapriya 💖
It's getting sunnier and my digging instinct is kicking in. I'm starting to repot my house bonsai ficuses and the like )
I love the result of work on the larger tree. I would cut the small branches behind the base of the trunk to expose it even more and lift the foliage visually away from the pot.
Procumbens nana is the best species to practice on!!!
