I love seeing that robin, he just comes right up close to you, so cool

[@Teresa-ih4sn]

The Robin is the cutest darn thing. Makes this video all the better!! Don't think even Peter really knows how much he adds to his instructions!!

[@almac2598]

Thanks Peter. Nice to see Robin still taking advantage of his humans digging up his grubs for him. Nice trees. One of my first bonsai is one of this type of juniper.

[@echan3230]

The Robin is so cute, smaller than ours in 🇨🇦, but same color. I learned a lot about bonsaï by Watching your videos. Thanks 🙏

[@MidniteSan]

Gotta love that last big tree 😭, splendid Peter 👍 thx for sharing. Hope to see more and can't wait for the next one.

[@carlosdesousagiraldez9452]

One more master lesson and robin appreciates it. Thanks Peter.

The top of the tree at the end looks beautiful. The whole thing is a great display. I think this one looks excellent from any side.

[@jamesbeitia1353]

I've been watching your channel ever since I discovered it. I've been looking out for potential bonsai growing in the wild for several years now. I have one I dug up and put in a pot several years ago, I think this year I'm going to do something with it.Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@PrairieDancerRose]

Very nice...one can really see the lovely curvature of this tree.

[@selfmade6142]

You're right, you can't please everyone. Your own ideas are sometimes quite the opposite of what you see or feel yourself. But it is also a good thing, because this is how we learn to deal with other people's views on life and how to deal with them.

[@gordonburns8731]

Thank you, Peter. A wonderful display of true Bonsai artistry.That Juniper must now be worth many thousands of pounds Sterling. It's lovely to see the resident Robin, which seems to totally trust you and your staff.

Dear Mr. Chan, I am an avid watcher of all your You Tube videos and look forward to each and every one of them. I was wondering if at all possible, if you could make a video on grafted trees. The process, advantages and disadvantages (if any). I am living on the eastern coast of the US in New Jersey, and I have many different cultivars of palmatums. They’re my favorite also. Thank you so much.

[@peterchan3100]

I don't do grafting myself but we have some grafted trees- but I will touch on this at some point.

[@Blaydrnnnr]

Such a beautiful little friend. I have so many trees that I have not even tried to style yet. Even though I have been a beginner in this for about 20 years, I have no clue where to begin with most of my trees. Three of my trees in my collection, are Trident maples, two of which are about 10years+, and came from very reputable bonsai nurseries here in the states, but they are SO complicated in they way they are growing, ( one has a single root, but divides into three main trunks, the other is a single trunk, but was cut back very close to the trunk ) I have NO clue where to begin. I wish I could have the vision you have to see what is possible, to make the right decisions, and the knowledge to know what a particular species can do and respond to..its amazing.

[@tonywalker9175]

Do you ever have problems with apple cedar rust on your junipers and if so how do you treat it. Thanks for all your knowledge and passing it on for others to learn.

[@peterchan3100]

Dangerous virus - No I have never had this but have seen Junipers in private collections that have it.

I've been told to use a copper solution a few times in the fall, after august.

@@peterchan3100 thank you Peter for your reply. I have 2 junipers bonsais and found it on 1 of them last year pretty bad and got told to just burn and destroy the tree but could not bring myself to do it as I love the 2 trees so just cut it back every branch that had it on it got removed and did some restyling on it and fingers crossed no more as of yet but have been told it grows from the inside of the junipers.

Do not agree Mr. Peter, with all my respect and humility. junipers are like classic music 🎵 never unfashionable and always an inspiration. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🙏

Have you ever tried making bonsai from the monkey puzzle tree? Definitely seems like it would be a tricky one to do. I have a large tree gowing next to my house but I rarely see them

If ever there was an impossible tree - the Monkey Puzzle tree is THE one.

[@davidcallin9800]

@@peterchan3100 I think that sounds like a challenge don't you?

[@creightonfreeman8059]

I agree with you Peter. I would get rid of the jin on the top. It messes up the proportions and geometry of the apex.

Yes.

[@zachariahzedd8124]

Yeeeeeah, you could split the top deadwood and make it seem as if lightning hit it

[@maryoverton7245]

Don't get me wrong I am watching you, Peter. I have been keeping my eye on that robin for quite a while now. He is definitely getting more confident around you guys. Are you feeding him?

[@peterchan3100]

No - the Robin looks for worms when we tease the soil.

[@judithstuart9631]

So happy

[@jeremiahshine]

I notice more back budding on my deciduous and evergreens in very damp conditions. Softer bark, maybe?

[@apearson79]

Peter, I'm sure you'll say yes, but have you met Harry Harrington? His carving is gorgeous, truly a natural style that enhances the look of the tree.

“The famous Peter Chan trick” regarding the wire being left to strangle the trunks... can you explain for the wider audience as to why anyone would leave the wire in that way? What were or are you trying to achieve?

[@joedirt2862]

I don't remember the point of it , but I do remember it discussed in one of his earlier videos.

[@mchlbk]

The trunk isn't strangled. When left, the wire will give the trunk a special look, that's all. It's an acquired taste, I quite like it.
