I currently live in Japan and the Wisteria blooms were beautiful this season. Cherry blossoms are always incredible and right now we’re enjoying hydrangeas and iris flowers.

So inspiring thank you 😀

Dear Mr. Chan, how pertinent that as you talked about ..."capturing the moment..." in this transient life, you took the most wonderful shot of life at your nursery ( at about 2:20) as your plants looked so very beautiful and in their element. Please do keep uploading videos of your tremendous gardens, grounds and nursery, it brings me such joy that is not so easily expressed in words. I look forward to every video. Thank you and Kindest regards.

[@peterchan3100]

Thank you for your kind feed back

[@nagaokayoko8840]

Wow, you have a lots of collection, Whisteria is one of my favorite trees, this video reminded me tonight where beautiful Fuji Whisteria in Sera in Hiroshima, have you been there ? 世羅の藤 is famous in west Japan. I live in York but never seen nursery like yours. I want to go home next year when covic19 get better, I couldn’t go home this year, I wish I could walk your beautiful garden in my Kimono under the Whisteria flowers or cherry blossom. You made me smile Japanese Whisteria go clockwise, cause organized people you said, funny. I love that. Thank you very much for this video. We grow sweet satsuma oranges, lemon, many kinds of citrus where I come from. Grow water melon, figs, persimon, grapes, peach, plum, Ume, cherry, kiwi fruit, all sort can grow in Inland Seto area, 瀬戸内海。 I love old English old roses, Fox gloves, etc, love cottage garden too though. English garden is beautiful, too. Please take care of yourself and stay safe from virus. Xxx

I once had a wisteria growing at my old house that was approx 150 yo and was able to keep it flowering for 9 months of the year with constant pruning and slow leak from tap where it grew. Unfortunately new owners cut it down, I was devastated. Love your work though, inspires me to bonsai everything native to Australia. Cheers J

[@hsnwfl7766]

No accounting for people that would not like a wisteria blooming for 9 months.

this is the video that I found your channel so many months back. Wisteria are my favorite plants and this was such a lovely video that I had to binge watch everything you do on this channel. Thank you for fostering love of plants and gardening for me and everyone else too.

[@intrigued8188]

Peter, you're a very kind and generous person; sharing your secrets, your garden and detail guidance, with everyone. I've come to grow a respect and admiration for bonsais because of you. Thank you.

The Wisteria are stunning. I have only just watched this video today. I’ve never considered growing a wisteria until now!

[@texaslakebrokertt9639]

Very pretty and very well maintained nursery !! Excellent job!

[@Feathers147]

I always look forward to your videos. I have started applying some of your methods to bringing out even more beauty in the shrubs trees and plants we have in our back garden. I've a long way to go but creating lovely detail in every part of the garden, I had no idea it was so therapeutic. I really do give you top ratings as for a number of years my wife was a keen gardener and I had no interest in gardening, just appreciating what she did. Now she is disabled at an early age and can't do the very thing she loves so I've learned to value doing the garden for her and the care that goes in to creating something beautiful. Between my carpentry skills and your excellent videos to help my gardening I hope to build a paradise we call home. Many many thanks for your generosity in kindly sharing your wisdom 😁😁😁🌱🥀🌺🌼🌴🍁☺️☺️☺️

[@peterchan3100]

Hi John, I can appreciate where you are coming from because my dear wife who passed away two years ago, was very fond of growing flowering plants, She used to work late into the summer evenings weeding and planting till it got dark. Gardening is very therapeutic , so keep at it and enjoy. It is like meditation

[@Feathers147]

Hi Peter, thank you for sharing your personal experience with me I am sad to hear about your wife. On reflection I have taken a leaf out of your wife's book of life and I am beginning to learn and understand that by the taking the time and effort really is a form of physical, emotional and mental meditation that in no way feels like work but rather a wonderful way to create beauty in the part of the world in which we live. I am learning to see in my minds eye the images and influences that I wish to build into our garden. I find the Google images of Japanese gardens are so beautiful and inspiring where everything is in complete harmony. This is the longterm goal I now have to follow paying attention to detail throughout all our of our garden. I am looking to include a pebble stream and bridge to add some Japanese styling amongst other ideas with a hope that I will one day have created a full harmonious garden for my wife, myself and family and friends to enjoy. Thank you again for your kind and generous work which you share on your KZbin channel, all blessings to you, John Cohen. 😊😊😊

I have said this before but a visit to Herons nursery is a bucket list, just sitting on the bench overlooking his pond is so peaceful and then there is the Bonsai which one to choose? Just wish Peter had a small cafe to enjoy the visit even more. Peter I am really enjoying a short look at the different plant varieties at your nursery.

[@karenroy8733]

Would you do a more detailed video on growing wisteria from seed & developing in wisteria bonsai?

[@TheBrewersDroop]

Do not grow from seed, it'll take 10 years to flower. Your best bet is to take cuttings, or my favourite way is to air layer. This is the best "how to" by far. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p058gyb2

[@Nomadistar]

as far as I know, it will strangle any tree that is about it's size. I have lost parts of my canopy & much of my Wisteria trying to get it under control. I have not lived here long & it is sad to deal with on both points. If you are gonna grow this, have it near nothing else.

[@marcdenton2996]

Stunning, Beautiful ‘full size’ garden too! Have you ever seen Sambucus Nigra ‘black lace elder’ as a Bonsai? The deep purple leaves and white flowers would look amazing I think.

I bought a home 8 years ago with a beautiful wisteria tree in the front yard that had been very carefully managed for 50+ years by the previous owners. It’s about 8 feet tall with a trunk about 7 inches in diameter and strong branches that terminate into lovely pom-poms. My wife and I have not been able to maintain it to the same beauty we inherited and I’d love to learn more about the best practices for a wisteria like ours. Any tips appreciated.

[@Sha11_11]

Buy his book (the bonsai beginners bible Peter chan) and go to page 237 where you can find all the information on wisterias

I’ve heard that with wisteria, this you need to prune them back fairly hard in the beginning part of the year to have them bloom.

I have several floribunda longissima...super long blossoms...new record this year 44.5" long! The alba floribunda longissima...is as Mr Chan says about 2 feet...I think it was mislabeled though as I have seen the over three feet in Japan. Spectacular plants! Now I want to try my hand at air layering them to make some bonsai as seed grown plants take forever to bloom in my experience. Anyone air layered them before?

[@paulanull8731]

Thank you for the information about Wisteria and it's growth behaviors. It is a plant I have seen often over the years with beautiful drapes of the flowers. I recently read on another Wisteria informational site that Wisteria is toxic and because the smell is so wonderful people will occasionally eat the blossoms. Apparently children are most likely to do this. It doesn't kill but it can make some people quite ill. Is this information correct? I myself have only been inclined to enjoy its beauty and scent but never had the impulse to eat a blossom. Thank you for your response.

I have a large wisteria that I dug this spring and it is growing vigorously. The leaves have 5-11 leaflets but the runners are not spiraling at all, they just keep growing straight up and flopping over. With that few leaflets I suspect W. sinensis but with no spiraling I am wondering?

I have a air-layered portion of my late grandfathers wisteria I was training for bonsai, my dog decided today was the day and chewed it all up. Im trying to save it. im hoping i can salvage it. Any tips on how to save it? he had it out of the pot shook the soil off chewed up the branches and chewed a portion off the main trunk. It being this close to fall makes it all the worse because it doesnt have a growing season to recover. I fear it is lost.
