The sheer abundance of raw material is mindblowing! In my wildest dreams I will have a nursery like this one day! Pray for me guys

[@mick681]

It's plain to see that there are two masters at work here. How you can see a bonsai in those pines is remarkable and beyond me. It clearly demonstrates the experience of the both of you.

[@MidniteSan]

Fun day at the field 😊... Thx for sharing Peter 👍

[@mimoochodom2684]

I'm so hoping we can see you and Kevin styling them.🙏

[@user-dj1rk4sv5l]

Wow, 35-37 years in the making, now that is what I call being patient

[@stephenlay9580]

It's like family members working for a common goal, I really enjoy watching you two master's at work. you both have a joy of life which drew me to your channel many moons ago.

[@peterchan3100]

Thats what its all about - If you lose the joy of any activity then there is no point doing it.

[@privatekarateka3745]

Wow, early bird today 😮

[@barbarafazio549]

These two great guys together are fantastic to watch. One of the more interesting observations for me is watching Peter with his Hawaiian shirt and Kevin with his strong exterior… cigarette in hand… delicately choosing the Yamadori . Can’t wait to see them creating the Bonsai.. Love Herons. I only wish I lived close to Peter’s gardens!!! I’d give my eye teeth to work there!

[@PSPMHaestros]

Such beautiful colors this time of the year

[@samyoel5384]

[@coresect]

I would love to see a collaboration between you and Graham Potter of Kaizen Bonsai. That would be interesting.

[@krizm]

just two guys chilling & gardening

[@David-bu4ef]

I bought a thirty- year old scots pine from Peter a couple of years ago, from his field, with a view to turning it into a literati style, but it was over a meter tall 😂, I have managed to get it down to about 80cm. since, I really love it...

[@murray821]

Goodmorning Peter!

[@egoebonsai37]

wow the land area is wide sir. be patient in caring for it, hopefully it will be beautiful in time. Good luck Sir.

[@thomaschiu435]

Drink every time he says yeah

[@saikong2553]

I love these videos, but please EDITOR, lower the volume on the sawing!!!

[@velvetmau]

❤

[@brucedeacon28]

👍👌🙂

[@apriloasanuma9575]

oh my... will the top part of the tree that was removed be or can it be used by planting it? Will it be able to take root?

[@h.b.1421]

unlikely, cuttings of pines won't or seldom root at all. Peter Chan showed trying to root some over the winter in an earlier video, but there are no results in yet, of course. And then these cuttings were only match stick or pencil thick. A branch that thick as shown in the video will never root. Even air layering pines can be tricky if it will root at all. Maybe ficus or willow this thick may root as cuttings.

[@apriloasanuma9575]

@@h.b.1421 thank you🙇

[@blaise.h5166]

With younger yamadori, is it alright if they go directly into bonsai soil or should they go into ground

[@jonawolf8023]

As a rule, trees, even young ones, grow better if as much of the soil in which they grew remains attached to the root ball. On the one hand, this is due to the fact that most trees form a symbiosis with the soil organisms and, on the other hand, the roots adapt to the soil. It is therefore more gentle to make the change gradually by either filling in the new substrate around the root ball or by gradually mixing the old and new substrate each time you repot. For very robust species, a complete change can work, but is always a risk. Another factor, but that is a separate topic, is what type of substrate is right depending on the climate, care and goals. There is no general, valid answer.

[@laney1366]

How many times did he say "yeah"

[@lokdog257]

Is it yamadori if it's just your own field grown stock?

[@peterchan3100]

NO - we are using the term in a generic sense - ie collecting - from the garden or your own field or what ever - but I dont collect from the wild.

[@jackofalltechs9738]

Hi guys how much will be 35 years old pine. Any idea Cheers

Locust are only as bad as they are, because they cannibalize each other and are running away from each other. And locusts are only locusts when they swarm. So that caterpillar may very well have a symbiotic relationship with the tree as many caterpillars do i.e., the monarch and the milk weed. Ladybugs can only kill all of the aphids when you have an overpopulation of ladybugs in a given space if there was a normal amount of ladybugs, it would never be that successful.
