Shaping a Large Old Kaizuka Juniper

[@zevirex14]

Here in the states, Heron's Bonsai often reminds me of how late I am awake. Watching along is a great way to end a day, and an even better way to begin it. Cheers!

[@suer666]

Morning all. I love that you are developing garden trees. I have a few that I haven't paid much attention too for years. I'm now starting to look at them differently. 😊

[@simonjakobsson1004]

It turned out great. I really enjoyed watching that!

[@Joj_knows_jack]

Beautiful work, and such amazing patience to move it forward. In the next few years, it’s beauty will be revealed in full. Love the bold choices with no regrets!

[@sunshinen7]

In the morning watching your video will make my day better. Have a nice Sunday 🙂

[@JamesStinton]

Always good to see Josh infront of the camera!

[@t3dwards13]

Soo glad you've decided to make giant jin!

[@greenworlds515]

Good to see josh wearing his PPE crocs like all good tree surgons do!

[@KLsmashingblouse]

HSE would have a field day with this.

[@mariakellner5429]

Great work done by Josh,you are a machine,

[@walterwjr947]

_THANK YOU 🙏 😔 🙏 _ Dr. Chan, you bit the _bullets_ on that one. Those were some bold cuts. I like the "new" tree. Please show it to us next summer. It was nice to see another garden development. I like big trees in Bonsai styles. I hope you enjoy some of the timber for a Yuletime fire. As we say, "a Cedar log on the fire, trims the whole house." 🙏 🖖 🙏 😔 🙏

Another great video Mr Chan, thank you. Must be time for a visit soon. Cheers!

[@MidniteSan]

Thx for sharing Peter 👍

[@AntoninoAlaimo-f8h]

Ottimo lavoro 👍 saluti dall'Italia 🇮🇹

[@raymondbirds2392]

Lovely job

[@dougg1075]

Yeah I’m in Alabama so I know about brutal heat and humidity. And I’m with ya:) You have been good to the trees and the trees have been good to you.

[@jaredlee1359]

Awesome!

[@deepanjanbanerjee3491]

Breaking news! Carnage at Herons. The renowned bonsai master Peter Chan aided by his assistant, Josh went berserk and mauled a venerable juniper beyond recognition. Even as the dust settles and his viewers come out of shock, we ask the question - What next Peter Chan? 😀

[@jakicatancabelic9436]

You enjoyed looking at Josh riping bark and wood and making "serious looking jins", didn't you Mr. Chen?

[@thom-novi]

Will you tie some branches down to shape it further?

[@TheUncleRuckus]

How are those little cuttings you dipped in rooting powder doing?? If they're taking maybe you could try doing the same with the cuttings from this tree to see if larger cuttings will root. 👍👍

[@harrietb2141]

Amazing! But I think Kevin should do some carving on it too😍

[@KLsmashingblouse]

No, not the 'yeah' man.

[@KLsmashingblouse]

No, not the 'yeah' man.😊

[@mymikeysbeefarm3606]

Why not use a chain saw to do heavy cutting like that

[@daveduggin8528]

Hi peter I have a variegated kaizuka that was the first plant I bought for bonsai, from a distance It looked a lot like a weeping willow in spring so I styled it to try and emphasise that image. A few years later I'm fed up with the dieback on the weak blonde/yellow foliage and would like to graft it to get rid of the variegation. Which varieties are similar in colour as the cuttings I bought from your nursery (possibly blaauws) looked very blue in comparison, and I like the shade of green on this plant

[@peterchan3100]

San Jose juniper is good as are the Blaauws.

[@WolfgangKeim1]

The wood would be so nice for instruments.

[@stevenwarner7348]

Like a Marvel Movie! Peter, You are a Superhero. With Superpowers. Taking on a MONSTER. Yea. I could see a movie. Thank goodness you've got a "side kick" ~ Josh. I'm tellin ya. Just scary. Unbelievable. Wow. A Monster. Very very dangerous business. (does it bite?). A Superhero I'll tell ya. Wow. ✨🌸‼🌸✨

[@slamboy66]

I wonder if the pilots call on you as a point of interest ?🛩🛩🛩🎄🎄🎄

[@peterchan3100]

I believe it is a landmark for pilots coming in to land at Gatwick. There is also a Mormon church with a very tall spire next to our nursery and that is definitely used as a landmark I have been told.

[@creightonfreeman8059]

Why don't you try to pull down some of the branches with guy wires Peter? It looks unfinished....I mean aside from the Jins.

[@KLsmashingblouse]

This is like an opening scene of the TV show casualty 😬. Wearing crocs for this type of work is really dangerous.

[@brucedeacon28]

👍👌🙂👌

[@zion-tube]

I sorry but to me this pruning looks like a huge mistake. I preferred a big tree as it was - strong and healthy looking. Maybe some fine pruning of minor branches could do.

[@jerryzhang8414]

Special date for me. I’m lucky enough! I can view this beautiful tree on the spot and most of all actually I am sleeping beside this tree. Folks do you think how lucky I am?❤🎉

[@peterchan3100]

Jerry from Toronto is staying here with me for ten days volunteering.

[@johanvanrensburg5625]

WOW WHAT HAVE U DONE U DESTROID IT SO SADE

[@анзоргарцкия-в1у]

Бонсай болота

[@Poemsapennyeach]

It's like being in a war zone with all those planes...sad. And that result did not work for me. Horrible.

[@Matt-kt9nm]

He did say it looked like a battlefield.

[@murray821]

Its not near from finished. I think it needs a lot of styling still. But that has to be done in a later stage. Build ramification.

[@karltontom5817]

Mmmmm I can’t see the appeal

[@ddem3150]

Sad. such beautiful limbs killed.
