Hi Peter, Adam here! I see you got the new mic :) The audio levels might be set too high on the wireless transmitter connected to your phone, there is a button on it where you can turn down the sensitivity on it so it doesnt clip and be too loud. Hope this helps! Great video as always! :D

[@ryanlester4698]

I have a rosemary bonsai in the making and I'm taking up this hobby as a 14 year old

[@MidniteSan]

Keep it up 👍 and enjoy the result years later 😘.

[@maverickstclare3756]

good time to plant some seeds - apples and pears and oranges all do well

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

I wish now that I had started when I was 14. My trees would have had 36 years of development 😀 Good luck with your future endeavours.

[@user-pt1cz4ot1e]

Good for you! I wish I had taken it more seriously when I was younger. Oh, the trees I could have today. My son is 10, and he has a few he is working on. I’m excited to see what he does over the years.

[@horanbenjamin]

Good luck mate think you need to be careful with the roots I take a lot of cuttings and a lot die when I transplant them.

[@Stimm002]

Thats bizarre, I collected a bunch of beech trees yesterday on my walk route that the owner wanted out. Have a great birthday Peter. Been in hospital for two years now from the age of 31 and this channel gave me the idea to fill my hospital room with bonsai, its beautiful and keeps me busy on these long hospital days. I hope to be well enough one day to visit the nursery.

[@user-pt1cz4ot1e]

That is a crazy coincidence. Lol. What a lovely way to beautify the hospital. Definitely a great way to distract too. I hope you are doing well and that your trees brighten your days as much as they do mine. 💜

[@Stimm002]

@@user-pt1cz4ot1e they definitely do brighten my days, and all the staff. Doctors and nurses always comment on them, I've even gifted a couple to them and now they are into bonsai. Infact 1 of my doctors now comes for an hour or two after he finishes work once a week so we can work on the trees and chat bonsai. Thanks for the reply its nice to have a bit of contact with the outside world, it can feel like a bubble universe when you never leave lol. It really was an amazing coincidence wasn't it.

[@peterjohnson350]

Hope you manage to get out of hospital soon.

[@Goshtkub]

get well soon

[@skrounst]

Best of luck to you! Surrounding yourself with nature is a great idea in such an unnatural place as a hospital room. Let the trees heal you dude!

I remember the beech rescue video well, just can't believe it was 2 years ago!! I like it when you revisit previous videos, i think you should do much more update videos. Thanks 👍

[@gideonwackers7693]

Covid made me lose track of time, I would have sworn it was only this summer that he found those trees

[@peterchan3100]

I do revisit these projects from time to time but I usually do them as part of my normal videos. So you have to watch out for them.

I remember those beeches 😁 indeed, discarded and thrown away for free. Look at them now 😁 all thriving 👍. Bravo Peter and thx for saving them. Soon they will find their new home.

[@timp1390]

Happy birthday (in a few days)Peter! May it be full of fun and celebration 🥳

[@GlaciusTS]

Been wondering about bonsai lately and it seems like the sort of thing that I could actually do. I have a lot of physical disabilities but come summer, I have no issue going out and collecting some seedlings, and I have a lot of fun sitting down and using my hands and shaping something artistically. I think I’d like to start with some small leaved deciduous trees that can get really fluffy, and I’ve been eying Arbivoritae. I figure I might get a better feel for it if I start with something that isn’t too prickly and work my way into typical evergreens.

[@sabbigill1]

Just simply Awesome as always. Peter,, nailed it. 👌👌

[@TheCattwooduk]

I have 8 decent sized hornbeam I dug out of a hedge which needed to be removed. I gave another couple away and one other didn't make it. This was also 2 years ago and they're looking very similar to your beech. Doesn't take much time or effort for so much result. Keep your eyes peeled for free material folks!

[@bonsaibob8253]

Happy belated birthday Peter!!! Enjoy your day.

Interesting, most people don't understand the market moves and tend to be mislead in facts like this and always depend on money in the bank. Very bad idea

[@jacorodriguez8295]

When money realizes that it is in good hands, it wants to stay and multiply in those hands, if you really want to make profits out of the money you've got, you have to take it out of your savings account

[@sharondellinger1656]

Hello, it doesn't bother me that you talked about inverse taper so much. That prompted me to look up the meaning and some examples. Now I understand why you have to watch out for branches or even root problems that could cause inverse taper. So thank you.

[@LevyHoet]

Question about cut back. Can i cut it back around mid november? I got gifted one from a hedge but i don't know what's the best time to start working on it😊

[@brandonyoung-kemkes1128]

Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge. It’s wonderful to see someone share something they spent their whole life gathering with others.

[@kevinc6323]

i put a 10 sapling beech hedging pack in my parents garden the year before i left home - aside from one i tried to lift about 10 years ago which died they are all still there, I've cut them back every year (except last year!). I really should dig some up - they are going to be 25/26 years old. Any advice? Should I put them into big buckets like in this video first for a year. And is October the right time to do this. Thanks!

[@peterchan3100]

Dig them up and put in large flower pots and then Start training them into bonsai

What happened to the sound in this one? Hard to watch imho

[@friedpickles342]

Peter is to Bonsai what Neil is to Drumming

[@manishyt3433]

what is inverse taper?

[@mchlbk]

Ideally the trunk is widest at the base and then it tapers 'to a point' at the top. Inverse taper is when you have a bulge somewhere on the trunk. It can be caused by too many and/or too thick branches coming from the same area. Once you have inverse taper you can't really fix it. That's why it's important to prevent it.

[@manishyt3433]

@@mchlbk thank you..for the information..

'That's going to be a lovely beech" lmao!

Man I'm just getting fo the part of the video where you show the ones that didn't work out. You bring a lot into this space by being comfortable enough to show your flaws instead of falsely deluding yourself (or others) that your flaws do not exist! I feel that you are demonstrating a worthy example for more than just bonsai by including that in your videos. Thank you Peter!

[@rsa420]

They certainly bounced back, glad to see the did not get wasted. It amazes me what people just throw away.

[@kliether33]

Please fix your mic, Peter! I love to hear you speak, but this audio is terrible.

[@peterchan3100]

Thats the trouble with doing just ONE TAKE.

[@gloriablanco7856]

Hi Peter, I also got a few beeches from a neighbour who was geting rid of them in may, had to run to put them in the ground, a few of them have died (i think) but some on them have starting to have leafs on the lower parts of the trunk, the top parts have darker and browner colours... Do you think i should cut them now ( mean the part with diferent colour) or wait to see where the new leafs come out?, Thank you for all your videos, im addicted to them! 😀

[@Patrick_PD2ET]

YeaHh..i do remember the video .. when you get them for free.. now 2 years later you show them.. and they look awesome!!! Also i do wish you a Happy Birthday Peter and family 🥳💚😊👍
