Forsythia Bonsai From Hedging Material

[@scheers100]

I always liked trees/bonsai. And now with your knowledge I have the guts to try some myself. Recently got myself a little metasequoia bonsai. And some other young trees, japanese maple a little black pine and a little fig. Just to try some things myself! Thank you for charing your experience and enthousiasme with the world! Greetings from Belgium!

[@RoyaleJester]

@@peterchan3100 truly inspiring for me as I have only just started my bonsai journey and appreciate every video you make packed with vital information to help me grow and appreciate trees. 👍🌲

Hi Peter. The hedges are a reef for bonsai. The forsythias look spectacular and you haven't worked on them yet. Congratulations on the three hundred thousand. Let's go for 500,000 !!

[@alicer3423]

I am not a big fan of forsythia but as bonsai they are beautiful. Thank you Mr. Chan for showing us different types of plants to use as bonsai.

[@wardm4]

Sometimes I think you are literally a genius. These are amazing. I love forsythia, but I never imagined you could make interesting bonsai out of them.

[@cristianbranea5034]

Peter with miss-matched boots being cool like the kids with miss-matched Converse!

[@andersnrregren9087]

In Denmark we Call this plant gold Rain and i just found a big multi trunk tree in a dumpster i Will let it grow new roots and Maybe try giving it a New life as a bonsai

[@pansepot1490]

In English gold rain is a different plant. “Laburnum anagyroides, the common laburnum, golden chain or golden rain, is a species in the subfamily Faboideae, and genus Laburnum.” It has pendulous flowers similar to wisteria only yellow instead of purple.

[@mchlbk]

Anders, this is not guldregn, it's called forsythia in Denmark too. Some people call it vårguld (springgold) but guldregn is a different plant.

[@Taargkrizzt]

Absolutely love these stumpy bonsai. Beautifull! Also, congrats on reaching 300k subscribers - well deserved.

[@benmeneley4698]

I get to save and rescue crazy stuff like this out of a friends personal junk yard, So I try to find them on the outskirts of the yard before junk cars get thrown on them , you've been a huge help and inspiration, Ur great 👍

[@MidniteSan]

Wow I fancy that small natural dead wood looking one, beautiful 😘. Thx for sharing Peter, can't wait for the next one 👍.

[@jokesterk5302]

Thank you. It 's a beautifull day and you where very succesfull creating a few majestic bonsai's and nothing was lost,grand!

[@thomasmedley8221]

I love your video's very much and you have helped me to see what a plants shape should be based upon it's own growth. Thank you 🙏

[@murray821]

They look very stunning! I just acquired a big forsythia from my neighbors garden. Can’t wait to see it bloom next year.

[@dickmcshan9778]

Thank you, Peter, for such a fine presentation. Yes... we DO enjoy your walks. Please, do continue sharing with us. Cheers, Dick from Vancouver.

[@youngwillie9502]

Hello Mr. Chan I hope you are well. We had a wicked snow storm here this past winter. I lost quite a few of my trees, but was amazed at some of the things that survived. I battle on. Good to see your videos and gain inspiration. Happy Spring.

[@sahabshraddha8453]

Wonderful 💙 bonsai's ❤️❤️🌵🌵❤️🌳❤️🌸🌸🍀🍀urr explanation way is good ❤️

[@lucian.x]

Forsythia and Redbuds are my most favorite trees, I've tried for many years to obtain these two varieties of trees for either my yard, or potentially for a bonsai project, but have yet to obtain such amazing beautiful specimens such as these I have mentioned!! Truly Amazing trees, both Forsythia, and Redbuds are, with tremendous displays!!

[@IEATCHAIR]

This guy is awesome. Great video, your flower print shirt is boss. Keep up the great work.

[@shivangnisharma9448]

Industrious Peter, teaching us giving nuggets of interesting information in every video. Inspired by you I dug up mulberry and figs growing wild in my mother’s garden, they seem to have rooted in spring, fingers crossed even I’ll have respectable bonsai by next to next monsoon

[@bdiederich638]

Forsythia as bonsai?--I am so impressed! And I do have a 30+ yr old forsythia that has been overtaken for years by an old climbing rose....if I can get near enough to the base, I really want to see if its as interesting as Peter's....if so, I will try to dig it up. These videos are good for the soul and am thrilled with all the ideas.

Yes sir congratulations on 300,000 subscribers that’s awesome. Thank you for all you do I’ve learned so much from you and your videos.

[@HoffShotFirst]

Thanks again for another great video!

[@digitalice7875]

I put all my forsythia from hedge into pots. Much easier to manage and they make interesting bonsai. That large one is very cool.

[@sagebonsai]

I like forsythia hear in Utah it wasn't very common to have it or much of anything. But it seems like every year more and more of them are showing up in everyone's yards. Most of all congratulations on making 300k subscribers you really did earned it. 👏

[@henrycorbitt2244]

Peter: *pulls out axe* Me: *concern* -five minutes later Peter: pulls out GRINDER

[@margaretsims4344]

300,000 learning about bonsai, that is an amazing achievement. Im going to take some forsythia cuttings today.

[@yoopermann7942]

those turned out beautiful

[@wierdo225]

It is so amazing how you can transform such unsightly stumps into interesting beautiful bonzi! You are a very talented artist. ❤❤

[@EnSnusTack]

Great video as always Peter. Congrats on 300K Subscribers, you are so worth it!

[@cherylandrews3195]

Congrats on 300k Subscribers :) Thanks for the video, so beautiful :)

[@digitaIgorilla]

I like these a lot. Those gnarled trunks! Clearly Wisteria is a vigorous grower 🤔 Edit: may I echo others who have pointed out you reached 300,000 subscribers, well done, worthy!

[@peterchan3100]

Thank you -300k is due to you !!

[@PolinaS-gq1te]

Those trees pay their blooming for all the love they receive

[@makeitstop529]

Amazing as always Mr. Chan!

[@edmilkovitz297]

A great idea for recycling an old shrub. If you wanted a trunk that size it would take years in a pot .

[@natrjack965]

Wow amazing work Peter

[@urosknezevic3504]

I look forsythia video when i had first online test in covid regime of eduction.Now its almost over and forsyntia make veru nice flowers i see heheh

[@nikkilbook]

There are a few red-leafed trees outside my apartment that I think are crab-apples-after googling, my best guess is a malus “royalty” crabapple. A few weeks ago, I sat down and gathered some of the fallen fruit, presumably from last year since they were all shriveled and hard, and pulled out as many seeds as I could find. I got permission to plant them in the back greenhouse here, and I did that about a week and a half ago. I’m a little antsy, since this is the first time I’ve ever tried creating bonsai, and who knows how it will go. I assume I won’t be able to start wiring or anything until they’re a year or two old, but I have no idea what to do in the mean time. Do any of your videos go over how to care for brand new seedlings? I’ve watched a number of them, but I haven’t made it through them all. Thank you so much for making these videos, Peter! I love looking at the trees and learning from you, and I think it’s really admirable of you to do what you can to make the art more accessible to everyone.

[@emmitstewart1921]

Forsythias are one of the best flowering shrubs, but, here in the US, they are the most abused. People try to trim them into globes like privet or box, and it just doesn't work. I would like to see how you shape these trees as the year goes on.

[@viktortraktor3829]

Congratulations for 300k subscribers!!!

[@haraldisdead]

"You must be wondering why I have a forsythia..."

[@almac2598]

Thanks Peter

[@sakubonsai]

Another amazing video, thank you

[@dk2614]

Dear Mr Chan, please give a cordless reciprocating saw for this type of work a try. They make wood trimming blades up to 12 inches long I believe. And you can separate them in a few moments.

[@henzobonsai]

Perfect bonsai material...👍👍👍

[@longfootbuddy]

i decided to put a forsythia in my yard last year, but the forsythia decided otherwise

[@beth7467]

The sound of that grinder reminds me of a dentist's drill.

[@LEE-PHAM]

Thank you for your educations and sharing your experience Master. May I have a question please : We are living in Canada minimum -40C zone 5, we have actually Forsythia (blooming in May) and Japanese Wisterria (never bloom) in garden and I am trying air-layering if successful. How could we keep our Forsythia and Wisteria in bonsai in containers over hard winter, how low in Celsius they can survive? Thank you very much for you help. Long live Bonsai Master.

[@HeronsBonsaiUK]

You will have to protect them in the basement of your house I guess.

[@cbrusharmy]

Very inspirational

[@masboedart3472]

Good job sir

[@karltontom5817]

Love how you echo my im not really chinese perspective

[@sabbigill1]

Hey Peter, I’m Sabbi Gill from Punjab India. A few months back i by mistake saw your video on KZbin and since then i fell in love with plants and started creating Bonsais from fields. Now i need to learn more and the best way is to read your books. Now i need a favour from you if its fusible for you to send me a copy of your book which you judge would be best for me and it will be a cherry on top if you manage to sign it and of course i have an option to buy from the store but since it’s lockdown here at my place I won’t be able to purchase. Waiting for your reply. Yours Faithfully Sabbi Gill

[@rsa420]

This is a new species for me and really like it.

The flowers make a really nice syrup too 😋

[@romeoh5120]

Goedemorgen,

[@chinto50]

I have been working with Bonsai for about 20 years now. This year I have a few trees that I want to dig out of the ground and plant in pots. Similar to what you have going on in the video here. My problem is Where do I find pots?????? Now 10 years ago it was not to hard to find a 3 to 4" shallow pot about 24" long and wide. Anything larger than Med size pot would be good. I have gone to all my old suppliers but recently here in Canada they are hard to find. I would love to start working large bonsai. 24x16 would be an acceptable size but could go bigger also.. any advice where I could find some online ???????? im not a dealer just an avid amature . As you know after that many years I have a few with large trunks and would like to keep them .

[@BackSeatHump]

The question is, can the branches of the forsythia be wired and shaped? I had one several years ago and I gave up and ended planting it in the wild and leaving it there.

[@freakysteve140281]

Do you use potassium nitrate to encourage the trunk to rot out?

[@makewithmegma]

❤🔥👍

[@brianhbinesh]

Do you have any fruit trees like peach or apple that have been turned into a bonsai

[@HeronsBonsaiUK]

We use Crab apple which is a miniature apple.

[@louisetwinberrow5508]

Good morning Peter

[@caitlinchorlton5020]

Can you please do a video on Ficus Ginseng. 🙂

[@peterchan3100]

I hate them !!

[@MF-fc5vk]

I have two large forsythia stumps in my garden, when should I dig them out Peter. They are a seriously underrated bonsai. Thankyou.

[@smack09]

As long as you collect with enough roots and native soil you should be good.

[@pansepot1490]

Safest time is from when they drop their leaves until before flowering. I myself had two large plants that had overgrown their space. Cut them back hard, dug them up in autumn and now developing as bonsai. Recovered no problem. They root very easily so maybe they can be moved even during the growing season however I would avoid doing it in the summer heat.

[@HeronsBonsaiUK]

Early Spring is best but anytime from Autumn onwards is fine too.

[@jessestambaugh447]

Peter I ask you if you could send me seeds you say now ask if you could sell me a plant you say no is there a reason why you can't ship to us is it because the United States or what

[@peterchan3100]

It is an offence to send or import plants and seeds to the US without prior permission or import licence. Not an easy process I am afraid. So even if I wanted to, it would not be possible. What a shame.

[@rRobertSmith]

So sorry but a stump with shoots growing out of it is not a bonsai, but entertaining.
