It's funny that this gentelman, even with Sir Peter, the teacher, right next to him has a fear of cutting too much. It truly is hard as a beginner to cut out branches. This has been a great teaching tool for us. Thank you again Sir Peter for all your courage and lessons we've learned from you! And, beautifully said that little birds should b able to fly through!

That's why Peter always says women are not as bold, they just can't hack off as much as a man will do, they are nurturing by nature, and men are the wood choppers.

Helpful lesson. For my part I found the bag trick especially helpful for this use with the forest. Even if I can imagine shapes I do feel like bag helps with focus and avoiding being overwhelmed by the number of trees.

So funny, I thought at the beginning, the birds can't fly though that forest. Picea take a lot of taming, I love the bright green in the spring, and the wonderful smell. I probably have 20 and my favorite forest priced really high at the local nursery where I sell my JBP and JRP, priced high because I want it on display, not taken away after 5 years. Thanks for a very informative video Peter, I have some forests to build.

remarkable video, the subject "forest" has enormous potential. A lot of humility and pedagogy revealed the wonder that was hidden in the origin, fantastic teamwork! Mutual satisfaction. Maybe it's good to draw the current project on a sheet to learn to see its future... in 1 or 2 years without pruning it will return to its original shape. A work of communication/observations remains to be done between the man and the tree. Reading books on shapes is a good source of inspiration. A final question: have you chewed the cut wounds for better healing ? 🍀Take care💚 THX, 💕✨

I would add, cut back only 1 to 2 year old branches and if you want to be precise, cut to already formed bud somewhere on that branch. Older branches are not likely or very sporadically to bud back on spruces and like it was said, you need to left some green on a branch when you cut. It can help to budback when you remove 3 years old and older needles on branches which already lost their purpouse.

Thank you....🙏 😔 🙏 Dr. Chan, so much wisdom, so much knowledge,,,, I hope I can honor you by absorbing, a small amount, and passing it on. Especially your teaching style and patience. That was a wonderful demonstration of all of your teachings and on a group of trees, a forest. I, for one, can say I always learn a tremendous amount from your videos, all that I viewed thus far. I must add,,, it was very "interesting" to watch Godfrey's transitioning from customer to a student having a personal lesson from, the one I call the master. His chin and jaw. Sorry I just had to add that. One question, why were your Bonsai scissors(the ones with the red tape or paint) so "loud", not the secateurs? Your cuts sounded,,,, so exact,,,, so final,,,, so sure,,,, really. That is the best way I can state my question. I could not determine if you had a personal microphone and Godfrey did not or what,,,, so I ask. Thank you again. 🙏 🖖 🙏 😔 🙏

The grasshopper may not be the cause of the problem. More likely it may have had an infestation of other pests - ? I am not familiar with the pests and diseases you get in N California. Cut out the dead branches next Spring and it should recover. Good luck.
