Bonsai Show Live at Telford 2024

[@ianthornton72]

My first show and went with my 14 year old lad who is very shy. He was so excited as he saw Peter and after much encouragement he went and said hello. Peter was very kind and talked to him. I would just like to say a huge thank you for that kindness. It meant the world to my lad.

[@peterchan3100]

I love meeting my KZbin family wherever they may be.

[@pbfamous07]

well played all round id say. bonsai the real winner haha. beats the heck out of an Ipad

[@jballenger9240]

A beautiful act kindness and encouragement. Who knows Peter, you may have set a young person on the path of bonsai.

[@stephenyum]

I was in the gymnastics competition in the next room over. I had a look in here and was mesmerised, i got myself a Chinese Elm, proceeded to binge watch your channel. So happy i found this.

[@joybiswas6970]

Thank you so much Sir. It was so amazing.

[@Phillip-zg5iw]

Thanks for bringing the show to people who can't always travel, lots of information and not rushed like so many things are these days, thumbs up Peter. 😊

[@Hollylivengood]

Man, this is beautiful. Really inspiring.

[@laddieokelley6095]

It is obvious that you love bonsai, all bonsai. You have favorite trees, but your comments are never overbearing. Your positivity and delight in trees made this tour a real pleasure for me. I respect your vast knowledge of bonsai pots.

[@DivyadeepShivliha]

Unbelievable so so very beautiful amazing bonsai trees 🎄😊👌👌👌👌👍

[@TheJasonappleton]

I was there on the Sunday and it was a fantastic day. Peter is right the trees on display were of the highest quality. This video is great as it brings a whole new appreciation and Peters comments on the trees and pots was very interesting.

[@pattyatrumdycreations134]

Thank you for such a beautiful tour of this show. I had my morning tea while watching this relaxing video. What a nice way to start the day. 😊

[@XyzeqPalentira]

Superb Peter, thank you. In my 35 or so years of bonsai, I’ve never forgotten bonsai is a living and constantly evolving art form, a growing and forever changing sculpture.

[@peterchan3100]

You are so right - unless an art evolves it will die. Its nice to see new ideas.

[@XyzeqPalentira]

@@peterchan3100 I also thought that trees should be viewed from all sides, with perhaps a preferred viewing side.

[@JamesDavis-cf4bb]

Blown away. Every tree is amazing.

I love bonsai plants . ❤ 🌳👍& I ever lived in the Telford! Nice place..🏜️🚘

[@geoffbreen2386]

Peter is always such a gentleman. Happy, positive and welcoming. His enthusiasm for each tree, and the explosion of high quality pots in a myriad of shapes, it means a lot with Peter describing the joy he sees in front of him.

[@TalkingLoon]

I could go to a show and see trees, but even better is a guided tour from Peter Chan and learn so much more about each tree and appreciate it that much more. Thank you!

[@tmind1]

Thank you Peter. I wanted to go to the show but was unable to make it. I appreciate your tour of the trees.

[@RichardJackRobertson]

The larch forest/copse on the sloping rock base was magnificent among so many great bonsai. Thank you Peter for posting this video of so many wonderful trees.

Once I hang up my canna days I think I’ll transition into bonsai as a hobby .it seems so creatively satisfying to see the process from start to mature trees .

Magnificent trees, pots, accents and overall displays! Thanks for bringing us to this marvelous show!

Yes ACE hahaha thank you ...slow me down hahaha 🤣🤣 grab a hold of that kid hahaha 🤣🤣🤣

[@Rumahbonsai23]

May pren show ❤❤❤🎉👍

[@Lynette-qh3tw]

The one you said you recognized as Mark's raft style privet was beautiful. I imagined i saw a lying down body in the roots. It could be carved to show a sleeping wood nymph. Or fairy. So many of the privets seemed that they could be carved with figures in the roots. But I think my favorite was the cave potted one. So many of those plants were so miniature. Beautiful. Thanks for taking us along.

[@bonsaiexpression]

It was a great show and it was a pleasure meeting you Peter.

[@sandraseldon6734]

I am thrilled to be watching you in America i only thought I saw you in wm

In England. I have a ficus-G re😮mmadel green Isle. I have kept it over thirty years. I have trimmed and an Asian has made the most drastic cuts. I so admire your expertise

Peter, I forwarded this video to Bjorn Bjorholm (formerly of Nashville, now relocated to Kyoto) and asked me to say hello to you for him. "Hello" from Bjorn.

[@peterchan3100]

Thank you for that - I dont know Bjorn but have heard a lot about him. Would love to meet him one day - please tell him that. And we would love to have him visit Herons.

[@KUGHOSTCHANNEL]

3:42 Is this bonsai Vitex trifolia L? in Indonesia it is called legundi? I have a lot like that hehe

[@simonedevito1119]

hi sir, in my garden I have a creeping juniper called Prince of Wales... I was wondering if you have ever used it to make bonsai, I noticed some roots on the lower branches... probably direct contact with the ground will have done this that they developed and so I tried to detach one and planted it in a pot and I hope it continues to live because I would like to try to make a bonsai with it

[@peterchan3100]

Never heard of that variety

Such attention to detail, except for the missing apostrophe in the brand logo tag line 😉.

[@kt3505]

Awesome display... I do have a question unrelated that I am really having a tough time finding an answer for. I know everything says don't start pruning or cutting your tree until it is 3-5 years old, I get this. Here is my question, when do you start cutting the tree back or topping it to keep it short. I started from seed in spring and am at almost 3ft tall , do I let this thing keeping going untouched and have it go hog wild or do you actually top these trees to keep them at a manageable size? I feel I should be doing something but everything says don't touch.

[@peterboneg]

I'm not the right Peter, but I do have some experience. You start chopping back when the trunk has reached the desired thickness. That thickness will be determined by the final height you want (about 1/6 final height). You need to wait because the trunk won't thicken much at all after you've chopped. Trunk growing for pre bonsai is best done in the ground or a large pot. It's not something that a lot of amateaurs do because it takes so long (sometimes decades), requires a lot of garden space and requires you to do almost nothing apart from maybe a bit of wiring. You may have seen bonsai kits with seeds, soil and a pot, but these are basically a scam because you won't grow an impressive bonsai in a pot like that. I hope that helps. I'd recommend to visit a garden nursery in search of ready made trunks and chop them down to begin developing them into bonsai. That way you can quite cheaply have a decent bonsai within around 5 years. Also look out for people throwing away garden bushes or hedges or even look for trees growing wild.

[@kt3505]

@@peterboneg Awesome answer , thank you, spending days on google and you answered it in a few sentences.

[@peterchan3100]

It is advisable to cut your seedling down to size or it will get too tall and lanky. But cut back to where a node or growth point is.

[@плюс-минус]

да, я живу в России, мне очень интересно какие выставки у вас проходят, я бы сказал это достаточно большая выставка для не столичного города, очень круто!!

[@peterchan3100]

I wish I could visit Russia one day for bonsai - politics aside. We are all one family when it comes to any art form.

How's the difference between of Taiwan to your tour

[@peterchan3100]

We are in the kindergarten here compared with Taiwan. There's no need to beat round the bush. I only speak the truth. But that is not the point of shows - it is the effort and enthusiasm that counts. The UK Bonsai scene is alive and kicking.

[@adolfodelgado9361]

If you have a collection of 12 bonsai, big 🌲 small pot how you can go to vacation if you by yourself ( water )

[@davwww]

[@Mr.JomarB]

I love bonsai but I cannot afford it 😢

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

Bonsai doesn’t have to cost money. I have a silver birch tree that self seeded into my front garden that I am developing, and oak trees from acorns I collected.

[@kevintiemann6366]

Bonsai only costs time

[@robertbrandner]

You can use any kind of nursery plant to start with Bonsai. This channel has a lot of videos on that subject.

[@2handsandwiches]

If you are sneaky look in hedgerows where they are trimmed often, there are often lot's of stunted semi mature trees, yamadori I they they are called.

[@howardmckeown7187]

I have 25+ trees and have only spent a few quid, keep your eyes open for suitable material, friends gardens, hedges coming out etc, etc

Great exibition, and have you as a private guide Mr. chen makes you appreciate these amazing works of art that much more. Thx
