    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

    I always struggle with material so dense, the tip to trim weak branches near the center and branch base was easy to understand

    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.

    Great video. Padmapriya has a very pleasant and calm voice that fits well with the meditative aspect of creating bonsai.

    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!

      The owner of the garden shop I worked for hated my advice to customers.

      "There's this, this, this, and this. Do you like bananas? You COULD...".

    "Nothing from the bottom...nothing growing up". Might not make much sense but, that was what I was told, repeatedly. Also, the statement of... "How do you carve an elephant out of a block of marble?" First and foremost, you need to know what an elephant should look like and, then you, simply, chip off everything that doesn't look like an elephant." Ha! Keep up the great work of providing us with entertaining and educational presentations, Peter. Kudos to Padmapriya for sharing his talent with us. I always enjoy creating windswept and cascading styles with beautiful, little Procumbens. Cheers, Dick from Vancovuer.

    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.

    • @kenninast
      @kenninast 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I know, without any doubt. If you turn the pot, then the nice cascading curl would be diminished or even completely hidden. That would be a waste, if you ask me.

  • @TheHammy1987
    @TheHammy1987 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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 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

  • @simoncordingley3122
    @simoncordingley3122 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.
