I love this episode so much. The young man brought good specimens of conifers for shaping, and you are so patient with him, and with great devotion you give him instructions on how to shape the trees. This episode made me very happy. You have made an absolutely beautiful tree out of this pine tree. And hinokis are more than beautiful specimens after wiring and trimming. A big THANK YOU for this episode.

All my 1-2-1 sessions are different but the aim is always to impart good technique ; how to think and above all how to enjoy bonsai.

[@gregorypudman4729]

Newbie in Bonsai - but this is my favourite Bonsai channel. Hats off

[@steveanacorteswa3979]

I hope Bradley didn't break his face with that big smile at the end, very happy boy and some great lessons and trees, think outside the box!

[@joegarland4885]

Extremely good teaching bonsai video with Peter with a very keen young man to learn, the Juniper if he had bought it like that in a garden centre it could have passed as a bonsai without any work, but of cause Peter and the young man Have improved the look with very little work, as they have done with the other trees all looking credible bonsai. One happy young man who will never forget his time with Peter Chan.

[@kimaholland3423]

I have a feeling we will be seeing more of Peter and Bradley sessions 😉

[@johnimhoff4858]

Mr. Chan, thank you so much for being such a wonderful teacher and a great inspiration. My son reinvigorated my passion for bonsai about a year ago and one of the first things I did was search KZbin for videos on the subject. All of your videos are easy to understand well thought out and organized and really show how rewarding the hobby can be. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, tricks and Enthusiasm on the subject.

[@peterchan3100]

Thank you for your helpful feedback

[@brandonyoung-kemkes1128]

That guy had a fun day.

[@riccardozecchin9220]

What a wonderful video! So nice to see younger people embracing this art: he brought a great spirit and he looked happy and satisfied.

[@TbonePlummer]

Loved this, watching a master passing on so much knowledge to the next generation. Respect and trust from you both! What a delight to see

[@nancyfahey7518]

@11:33 this was quite a surprise. Love it.

[@cmr92]

I am really jealous looking at those materials. 😮

[@peterarmstrong8728]

Great selection of trees... much better potential than anything I can find at our local nurseries!!

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

Great video and always great to see new people coming into the hobby.

[@mooneagle4772]

The King should give you an MBE for your willingness to teach and develop people to love the art of bonsai!

[@peterchan3100]

I met the King when he was the Prince back in 1993 - I spent 2 x one hour sessions with him discussing gardening topics at Highgrove

Hi Peter love the video,I've got problems with squirrels and the odd rat digging the soil on my bonzais can you do a video on how to protect my bonzai from these and birds etc and any other predator that might attack them I put traps down for the rat but how can you stop squirrels

[@peterchan3100]

Cover the pot surface with wire mesh - see if that works

[@DebbieParker-kb1zv]

Please Peter can you tell me in a video how you stop squirrels and rats digging the roots on bonzai

[@chaiwatpotichanid]
