How to Make Redwood and Picea Bonsai Forests

[@entvisual]

*Finally Redwood Trees!!* very rare I love pines but Redwoods are different!!❤😮

[@scheers100]

I really like the dawn redwood too. Like you say, not much good content about them.(bonsai science has interesting content about redwood too)

[@rheinrich_art]

Peter has done multiple episodes about dawn redwoods

[@dennisbeers]

@@rheinrich_art Dawn's are hardly California USA Natives and seen to be more related to cypress, so I still wait for real redwood trees!

[@DavidJones-ty1ht]

@@dennisbeers Very well said!!!🤔🤣🤫🤫🤫

[@marisamiller3306]

@@dennisbeers According to Redwood National and State Parks dawn redwoods are a species of the Sequoioideae subfamily along with coast redwood and giant sequoia. And you’re right they are not US natives but fossil records indicate that they were found all over the northern hemisphere during the Jurassic period.

How lucky were they? So simple yet so effective. Great video yet again Peter. I learn something new with every video you post.

[@DavidJones-ty1ht]

I was going to give you like but didn't want to be the 13th 🤣 now I have 2 incorporate 4 in my crazy thanks Mr. Chan

[@nillysbonsai]

They picked a good day to go shopping!

[@GrowWithKit]

I’ve watched all your videos Peter, quick make more 😂

[@petersimko4927]

Another great video by Peter Chan. I would love If you can share your knowledge with us about moss, how to cultivate, grow and look after it. In my view bonsai is not complete without moss. PS: thank you for your signed boook I received recently from family who attended your workshop as I was unlucky and missed you in Herons.

I collect it, some is very brown, them put a layer of pumice dust that I discard after sifting, it stores lot of water and it's a darker color than perlite, I put it in partial shade during the summer, on a tray it's easy to get it out of the sun, moss likes light so you don't want complete shade, then just mist and give plenty of water.

[@petersimko4927]

@@steveanacorteswa3979You are right keep it moist is provably most important as in it's natural habitat in forrest. My moss is looking better during the winter ( I am living in UK) . Through rest of the year I probably failing on this part. But still wondering whether is enough to water it with rain water and it will spread as well. As I can't achieve this.

[@Stettafire]

​@@petersimko4927 Yes, I attempted to grow moss this year and it just all died

[@nordicson2835]

I ,as always , enjoyed this post , nothing better than relaxing with your post , learning and enjoying a cup of tea.

[@bgertsma]

I have one dawn redwood, now I need a forest. 🤣 It's a beautiful arrangement and looks peaceful

[@jamesgavern2084]

I can’t imagine the amount of work that would go into that.I know in my zone, I got about a meter growth just this year alone. That was with cutting a new leader every two months!

[@bgertsma]

@@jamesgavern2084 yeah, it might be a lot of work based on growing zones. I am in zone 5 in the USA, my dawn redwood has grown very slowly for the past two years and is just now starting to look like something. I think I need to change it's pot for better drainage. It may help. I used to want to plant one in my parents yard 🤣

[@jamesgavern2084]

@@bgertsma Wow that is insane. I got mine from a nursery in early summer. The trunk went from a pencil to a Banana in three months and it was two meters tall when I did my first chop. Within 5 months. Can’t wait to see it next year. I can’t prune it fast enough.

[@bgertsma]

@@jamesgavern2084 what size pot are you using? I would love to have growth like that. Mine is just a seedling I bought online. We don't get many interesting species in my area

[@Stettafire]

​@@bgertsma Parts of Scotland are also in zone 5. Maybe I'd suggest looking at what grows on Scotland and Norway?

[@timdady4660]

Good Old Norfolk boys. Good to see the guys getting a lesson, 2 dawn redwood and 1 Larch but no PIcea forest as yet, bit late watching the video as I have been ready Peters Book, Bonsai Master class The definitive Collection, not finished it yet.

[@michelangelobonsai]

The long way of bonsai🤙

[@patrickstiles1363]

Peter if came to you from NJ USA would i get a private master class ...hehe😁

[@suer666]

Peter i love the way you teach and your philosophy behind it. Love is in the eye of the beholder. Those elitist bonsai growers need to realise we all have different ways of seeing beauty and need to respect our differences not criticise. This only shows them as the weaker person.

[@sunsetta9496]

Make a Bonsai forest that you feel like you could walk through! Thank you for tips.

[@angie3504]

Lovely forest 🌳 arrangements. Great video Peter.

[@notionbonsai]

Nice video Peter! Keep up the great work :) Adam.

[@houghtonbonsai]

Great video Peter, I have a couple of redwood forests I love redwoods😊, thanks for sharing

Excellent! Nice to learn and to see a father and son learning and working together!! It is such a rewarding opportunity. We'll done in training and the experience for this family!!

[@boommal5303]

This was a cool video! I want to try it now

[@rcglock9608]

Here in the USA it's 13. No floors numbered 13

[@MegaDrVenom]

Is the tree in the picture in the video's end title card thing, planted in the ground or is it isolated in the pot?

[@Alepoudiitsa]

in the pot don't you see it i think this one was the one he dug up some time ago, if you go back you will see it. he have a lot of monsters like that.

[@MegaDrVenom]

@@Alepoudiitsa Yeah, just couldn't tell if it was a retaining wall or the wall of a pot. Thanks m8

[@kittyiam2206]

So, when the roots of a group mesh together how do we take the trees out and trim the roots? Or do the groups not get this type of upkeep? Great video Peter! Thank you!!

Good morning Peter,I have been watching your content for a few months now and have found it so interesting and im now obsessed with bonsai,however one of your videos sent me to @Cornwall bonsai. I have picked his brains about bonsai and We have struck up a friendship and are planning to meet up soon as he is only a few miles from me, so just wanted to say thank you for your content because without it I would not have found my new obsession

Hi Peter. My book order was cancelled without issuing a refund. I emailed your customer service and I was told that I have to order again!!!!! I already paid for one and sent them the bank confirmation, but they never responded to me. How can I follow up on that? Order No:3505

Where do you live? I will investigate and see what's happened.

[@walterwjr947]

Thank you... 🙏 😔 🙏 Dr. Chan, I must express extreme GRATITUDE, also... You videos, no matter how long, are so full of information, so full.... The small trees in the back,,,, that is the perspective principle (ple) or when two parallel lines meet in the distance, synonyms are Scene or Vista or View.... It amazes me that if we view/see something smaller than "normal" our brain readily treats as a "picture" of some sort or as a "minatute" .... One of my distractions is Drawing/Sketching.... I can't go without a question, sorry.... How tall can a Daw Redwood grow in one year, if left unattended, in a pot?

[@peterchan3100]

60cm in a year even when grown in a pot - if grown in the ground it would grow even more.

[@walterwjr947]

@@peterchan3100 Thank you.... 🙏 😔 🙏 That's 2 feet, like a pine??? Not bad, controlable. I am going to try a few.... 🙏 🖖🙏

Numerology, 13 is 1+3 = 4 Most hotels do not have a 13th floor. They will skip the 13th and go right to the 14th.

I think numerology began in China?...

Ha ha!

[@armanflint]

@@walterwjr947 I'm not sure. The Jewish used it a lot for those who were into the Kabbalah. I'm sure China has their own version.
