How To Create Taper

Taper is when the base of the tree is thicker than the top. In this video I show you some impressive examples of taper. I also explain how to create one.

You can really stop saying "I hope I don't bore you" . Bonsai is patience, you explain so well with so many examples, if people don't have the patience for that then they won't have patience to grow a tree into bonsai I'd say. I love watching how passionate you are about it and to learn so much about how to turn a tree into the aesthetics that you think is nice. Even if not everyone likes every tree. Seeing how with patience the mature trees come out after much suffering is amazing !

This is the most important video on bonsai I have seen. I hate those people who recommend all sort of grotesque techniques like splitting the trunk at the bottom. Thanks Peter. Its a slow process, but so what? Bonsai also teaches us patience and an ability to look forward to ten years/twenty years.

Love my Sunday morning coffee with Master Peter Chan....

I learnt a new term today, 'twiggery'. Something I will always use.

The numerous small bits of information mentioned casually are priceless.

Thanks Peter, very educational, long process, ever changing and never finished, teaches us so much.

"Passion is patience". It shows in what you have accomplished at Herons Bonsai. Thank you for sharing with us.

Peter, you are an artist. I love your work and your passion. Thank you for your extremely educational and entertaining videos.

[@rainbowstar4360]

Master Peter! I can honestly spend hours a day watching all your many videos. Never think for one second that we all don't appreciate your wisdom and knowledge! Feel free to make as many videos and very long videos you want too!

I’ve looked at so many bonsai professionals, at their work, trees but always come back here to Mr. Chan. Just can’t stop watching and listening, it’s so peaceful and informative.

every tree he walk past, look at this tree, this is another amazing example , look at it, beautiful :)

[@marcusmungeam241]

Every time I see a bonsai im like yooo, that one though! Each has its own character.

I love this guy. Been into trees for a few years now and its changed my life. I've watched a few of Peters videos in the past year or 2 but I'm glad I have just started to really dig in and watch alot with the knowledge I have already had and seeing Peter with his trees it just has given me a better understanding of how these techniques applied over time can produce awesome bonsai. And Peter seems like a genuine hard working dedicated guy and its great to watch. Thanks for the videos. Im in the U.S but hope I get a chance to see the nursery someday

Best video on creating taper! Lots of great examples! Thank you

I swear, I was continuously giggling with delight while you were in the workshop from the amount of unconscious expertise on display. Hearing you say, "maybe I'll cut it here for this reason, or maybe here for another reason," even as your hands had made the cut and were three steps on, requiring your explanation to hurry to keep pace with your mind, was amazing. If my certainty of anything could match your uncertainty, I'd be a much more productive man.

Nice trees. I have been applying the same cut and grow techniques on my Mohave firethorn, as well as a magnolia I’m planning on digging up this year. It’s got a nice thick trunk with a beautiful, natural shari running half way up it. One thing that caught my eye at

[@MidniteSan]
