Difficult Decisions When Creating Bonsai

[@goldenbear8696]

I just love the way Mr Chan talks about “ten or twenty years” as though it’s just a month or two, or possibly next year. I’m 85 and have a one year old horse chestnut sapling in the garden. It looks as though I will be 125 before I can get out the lopper, chain saw and secateurs to make it into a proper bonsai. No doubt by then Mr Chan will have an updated video to show us how to do it.

Keep going buddy - you are never too old to make bonsai. Stay Blessed !!

[@cyndy338]

🤣😂😊

[@astounded]

Now that's what I call a proper bonsai perspective!! 🎉

[@Purple-salamander]

I’m almost 84 and have some tree seeds germinating. Cheers to fellow senior citizen

[@Christopher_Giustolisi]

horse chestnuts grow quick. Give it some compost or other fertilizer and it will take off, giving you at least half a meter of new growth a year. Trim it back every year and you will have lots of branches to choose from.

[@brianh.santos9295]

Damn Peter, you went medieval on that first tree with those Long loppers !!! Now that’s what I call a Drastic Pruning!!!

[@makeitstop529]

Hello from the U.S.! Absolutely love your videos, so relaxing and informative. You’ve made bonsai so simple and achievable for so many, thank you!

[@Jen-w1i]

I love watching Peters videos. Whatever his topic is, I learn something. He is a great teacher!

[@thegreenmanalishiyamadori371]

Dear Sir Peter... You are my hero for ever🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👏👏👏

[@tigingrasta953]

Thank Sid will try a willow fusion is year And it’s nice to see cooper 👍

[@gromageindustries6745]

My gosh Peter you are awfully rough and your actions not sensitive or for the faint hearted but your trees are a testament to your method so well done to you 🙏 💚

[@erniesmith1097]

Cricky Mr Peter Chann many thanks for sharing your knowledge and tips for the whole world to enjoy and learn from a MASTER CRAFTSMAN. Keep the dream alive son Aussie Aussie Aussie GDAY MATE from brisbane Australia

[@hashiramabonsai]

These videos are just heaven! Mr. Chan's voice, he himself, the abundance of material to work on (I always ask myself what would I do) and the beauty of the nursery! Thanks so much for sharing❤

[@ph-vf5hx]

I always think 'oh yes I'd do that too' but give me the raw material and I'll make it into a complete mess in minutes! Bonsai LOOKS simple. It's not.

[@lucyb15]

My favorite kind of video wherein Peter thinks out loud as he works. thank-you!

[@jameslangschied7900]

Bonsai art, like all art, is a combination of calculation, inspiration and perspiration. Peter Chan embodies all three.

[@jazzcama]

Thank you again for sharing your thought process in creating bonsai. It is always so very insightful. (And I must admit that I even use your catchphrase, telling myself to just ´bite the bullet´ when pruning my own few bonsai.)

[@steampunkvampyre]

Fabulous Peter, I am 80 now and no long projects for me. Just started on two very small Larches which someone else will see through to maturity.

[@peterchan3100]

You are young!

[@steampunkvampyre]

HA ha thank you@@peterchan3100

[@walterwjr947]

_THANK YOU for sharing 🙏 😔 🙏_ Dr. Chan, there are so many Bonsai to be made. Each one a unique creation. Each of your videos has new ideas. You have so much material. Please show us some of the reporting, especially the large ones. Enjoy the rest of winter. 🌲🙏🖖🙏😔🙏🌲

[@suz4keeps]

Epic camera work, thanks for this

[@annab3182]

I love your work! You are a treasure to the world! Thank you for sharing your gift of Bonsi trees 🌲

[@jsnstamper]

We want to se you get that big trident out of the ground and how you deal with it and prepare it for transplant

[@harrietb2141]

So many beatiful trees😍🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

[@Scotty2Dope216]

What kind of sealing paste do you use?

[@jsnstamper]

We’d like to see the digger and the transplant for sure

[@TheJasonappleton]

Some amazing material there but my favorite has to be the horse chestnut on the barrow. Going to be stunning in a put with a couple of years of refining. And definitely the right choice of branch to cut off .

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Great looking trees that you are growing. Nice little tutorial on pruning.

[@ludwigcodjambassis8866]

[@MidniteSan]

Thx for sharing Peter 👍 👍 👍

[@MKbonsai]

Halo saya dari Indonesia, Terima kasih sudah berbagi video dan menjadi inspirasi untuk kami❤❤

[@brucetharp7610]

One of your best videos I have seen!!! Pleas show a similar video with coniferous plants.

[@Chris-oq6kn]

Love these videos peter. I kno this is a shot in the dark but i would love to have more knowledge on grafting from u. Would love to see how and when to graft maples and shimpakus such as just taking a branch from the same tree and grafting it back onto the trunk where a branch is needed. Thanks peter

[@mchlbk]

Peter doesn't really do grafts. He propagates by seed, cutting or airlayering. Grafts often look ugly on bonsai trees.

[@HollandAbsher]

Love watching your videos...that is a awesome saw ...I lean so much watching your shows....

[@keefe4484]

I agree with Tyler and thanks for sharing your expertise

[@kingyodeler]

I'd love to see the digger you use to dig up the bigger field grow trees.

[@paulgeddert6125]

How fortunate is Tyler, working with Peter Chan, learning. If I'm fortunate enough to have a second career once I'm out of the first I know it'll be horticulture / bonsai in some form 😊

[@Chris-oq6kn]

I have the exact same thought in my head.! Maybe even teach classes of some sort. Where i am i dont think anyone is into this but im sure i can get people into it. Heres hoping for our next jobs😂

[@mattgrant2089]

Peter cutting 40 year old pre bonsai like normal people trim weeds 🤣 kudos!

[@brucejeffcott1104]

I thought you dont prune maple until the leaves had hardened off? I thought you had mentioned that in a previous video.

[@thebonsaiarea]

So many great materials at herons bonsai I love it

[@MGovc7]

Love videos❤, would like to see zen garden video one of my favourite❤

[@Blaydrnnnr]

I am behind my time here in the S.E.US but I am about to start pruning most of my outside trees. Can this principle of Structure pruning be used with my 2 Dawn Redwoods as well? They are potted, and have a conical shape but are starting to get "leggy" in the branches, since I am still trying to figure out how to prune Dawn Redwoods for ramification.

[@peterchan3100]

Yes

[@almac2598]

Thanks Peter. All too big for my garden though.

[@stephenhumma4772]

I did enjoy. Is it too early to start trimming up Japanese maples or should I wait a couple more weeks my weather is probably a little colder than yours 6A

[@grokeffer6226]

Beautiful!!

[@rizkyrijzalbonsai6990]

Mantap👍👍👍

[@page4938]

Do you water the plants in the pots ?

[@tombasnet8814]

I am wondering why I cant see any plant or bush of bamboo in your nursery... and also have a question, can we make a bonsai out of bamboo??

[@aujunk]

lovely.. as usual. the only thing is, the channel could use a new camera

[@CarlBridge58]

Lookout! Peter got let lose with a chainsaw!!

[@tompeppi2635]

❤

[@briansmith6862]

PLEASE invest in a Rhode radio mic.

[@peterchan3100]

I need a techie to come here to teach us a few tricks on how to improve our videos using I-phone.

[@brucedeacon28]

👍👍👌🙂

[@liuk-liuk]

Sayang sekali bonsai tersebut pada kering😢😢, kekurangan air😢

[@mchlbk]

Nah, it's just winter.
