I've taken inspiration from you, Peter, and have grown, Crab apple, quince, Maples, Hornbeam from seed now and taken cuttings from a few Junipers now. Thanks for your great advice and videos.

Thank you! I enjoyed seeing what you do. I have a tiny red maple that I am going to Bonsai. It will be my first one. Your gardens are amazing. And so many spectacular Bonsai!

Could you air layer the top to get a new tree before you cut the top off?

The average person carries some baggage, which makes them stuck in a “surviving each day” mentality. I found bonsai has made me more patient and more able to visual long term progression, rather than daily survival. It must help a lot of people

Such a terrible experience, Peter. I hate to see anything happen to a fellow human who gives so much back to everyone. :)

I love germinating seeds. This year was the first that I collected Japanese Maples. They're stratifying in my garden now, and hopefully, I have a bunch of seedlings in the spring. I just don't understand Peter's comments about Wisteria, though. I just can't get it to germinate.

sadly i cant order these to india

You showed some oak sprouts growing in between... You know birds hide the seeds in the ground for winter reserve. Oaks can be used for bonsai, many like an old oak bonsai. There beautiful and native to North-West Europe. Why dont you try a few yourself and cultivate them as bonsai. I would love to see the results. Many thanks for the so learningfull videos and the insights of the Herons nursery.

Education and a giggle when you shake the tree. Love to you Peter. xxx

It’s funny how many times I’ve done such a similar process, with really similar starter material, yet never once have my creations looked half as nice as anything you’ve shown. Don’t get me wrong, I adore each and every one of my little trees, but they’re not as pretty no matter how hard I might try. Thank you so much for the inspiration

Who is David Johnson? You mentioned that he do bonsai pots and that he got some very nice bonsai tree too How we can reach him if we want to buy some bonsai pots??

Very nice video! To propagate from cuttings and seeds is so nice and easy and a real enrichment for our hobby. And also: it costs about nothing and is really very well possible to do for everyone. And maybe, maybe it also teaches us a bit of patience: you can't do without it when creating, nursing and taking care for bonsaï, I think... I salute you, mr Chan!

Thank you, I have a pocket full seeds that I meant to plant.

Your love of seeds is inspiring. We know as old men that our time is limited. But this is in our soul. ❤

Will you sell beech seeds and ship to USA?

Peter you have truly put me in the Bonsai Christmas spirit!! Season's Greetings to you and the entire Heron's family!

I can see that you are a bit of a miser?

I always enjoy your enthusiasm for bonsai, your nursery walks are encouraging and interesting, thank you Peter for sharing, very enjoyable content always.

Do you get cross pollination between these different beeches or crab apples?

Josh is a master craft man

I brought home Wisteria seeds and they exploded in my house. They twist and throw the seeds. It was funny and shocking

Sir Peter. Any Words on Those Aw3some Bonsai Trees that was stolen from You? Are your law enforcement have anyone caught yet?

Peter I am just venturing into Pines for the first time so you literally answered every question that I had. Thank you!

Absolute Joy To Watch. Many Thanks. STP

I used to be an avid seed collector. I'd grab seeds from anything I came across, with boxes of seeds in little baggies. I was always amazed when some of the older seeds would still germinate, even after 5-10 years.

What a lovely way to carry on . . . both thrifty and optimistic! I enjoyed this with my Sunday morning coffee. Thank you so much.

Just love seed collecting in autumn. Is hard to beat the squirrels to them sometimes 😅. Is one of nature's miracles that amazing trees can grow from such a tiny thing; like Alder n birch seeds

Thank you for each of your videos as they are enlightening and your enthusiasm is infectious.

Peter, love the video and the info, just one suggestion however, you may benefit from investing in a lapel microphone such as a Shure or RODE, etc. It's very difficult to hear you when a plane is flying overhead or your cameraman is too far away from you, or when the wind is blowing. Just a thought.

I worked in a garden centre years ago for a while. They were dumping bags of flower seeds & i asked if i could take a bag home. I put the bag in my shed & forget about it. 5 years later i found the bag & i planted some seeds, they all came up!!. & over the next ten years i planted more they also all grew, i was amazed!!

Starting new lives each year by sowing seeds.

Hadir nyimak om..

Just a note: ½ inch is 1.25 cm, not 5 cm (which would be 2 inches).

Thx for sharing Peter...

Thank you for that informative video. 👩🏻‍🌾🪴

Hi Peter, Hope you are enjoying the fall season. We always like the word free. Been harvesting seedlings for a while. Some germinate some not but that is nature way. Thank you for this informative video.🙏🙏🙏

I love, love, LOVE the discovery of the multiple fronts of the tree, and excitement and joy that resulted from it. I felt it too!!! It was a true WOAH!!! moment with goosebumps.

Great explanation, interesting as usual! Thanks

dear sir, kindly guide about friut tree airlayering ...thx

Awsome.. Any luck with the tree theives 😢? I have a moon maple thay produces a ton of seeds.. but due to the fact its a hybrid im not sure they are fertile.

Thank you for explaining the “conventional wisdom “ of pot choice; it’s something I have been wondering about!

Where does one find all these white people with enough money to attend this class?!?! Great business model!!! I love it!!!

I am so glad that you did not make radical changes to shorten the tree. The trunk has a great shape and the wiring you did makes it a very good bonsai with a fine apex. A master at work.

What brand of cut paste is that you showed? I recognize it but don’t know what it says.

he sounded so pissed but patient.

😮😍😃

Brilliant Peter you make potential problems with awkward branches so easy to resolve with your easy to follow suggestions, it’s probably been the most difficult thing to grasp over 30 plus years of my bonsai hobby. This tree has given me inspiration for another one of my welded creations 🙃……..

love this guy, am just getting into this hobby as am very creative and very deep so its perfect.

Such a shame, people are heartless. you need to show us what to look out for. do you have photos to share with us.

one more detail: are Bonsai trees considered "indoors plants?
