Wow, free consulting! When the teacher notices the good efforts of a student he will pour more (knowledge) into them. Great video!!!

I love Peter's smile listening to Felix talk

Watching Peter carry that huge bonsai made me nervous (wasn’t expecting him to pick it up) BUT at the same time, hopeful I can move like that at his age

The Hinoki forest is incredible. Kudos to the buyer that he kept it in such beautiful shape. I hope that he will consider adding a third tree to the group when it is time to repot. I'm so envious.

[@Stettafire]

13:16 Quite agree, I'm growing some maples from seed that I collected from our local broadleaf maples. I planted them in October/September so I'll find out in spring I suppose how they've gotten on. I did grow an iron oak sapling but squirrels dug it up and killed it. Now I keep my saplings protected, lesson learned. One thing I do rather well as a rule is propagation. I am known in my family as that person who turns one plant into ten. It's well worth the benefits of doing so.

[@roblena7977]

I am 42 years old and I feel like I just discovered magic. I spent alot of my life as a man child, ultimately played video games if I wasn't working. I just sold my house and quit a good job to buy 20 acres. Anyway people like you and Mr chan are the reason, everyone is so encouraging in the garden community.

That Hinoki is everything I hope mine will be someday. GORGEOUS specimen. I have one that is still only about 5" tall, but well styled already, and I have 5 cutting from it that are taking very well. I think his Hinoki is very nicely done. VERY healthy.

[@CaptivaIsland1944]

I think you are Awesome and you make it look so easy. When I want to cut a small branch off I keep looking at it as though I am hypnotized, I am so afraid that I am making a mistake! It’s dreadful to be so unsure. My friend told me to find some other thing to do and not bonsai that is adding stress to your life. She also said buy a bonsai enjoy it when it needs work go to a Bonsai Store and give them your plant. You: Just like a haircut!!!!! You are absolutely AMAZING!!!! God bless you always!

[@steveanacorteswa3979]

I find if I want bud back, then I cut the needles just above the sheath, if not I pluck the whole needle. I have a few hundred JBP but only about 10 that are over 3 years old so excited to develop them, mistake of selling too many at the 2 yr old stage. Putting trees in bonsai pots will slow the growth so I keep then in big pots, don't look as cool but I want some fat trunks. Once they reach the trunk I want I will training pot them and work an ramifying. Great he takes such good care of the trees, I know it's a lot of work.

[@Stettafire]

Yes, growing in bonsai pots won't thicken the trunk as fast. I'm growing a crab apple in the ground for this very reason. I plan to dig it up the year after the next (2024) hopefully will get done nice rigourous roots too because when I first put it in the ground the roots were very limited. The tree also looked a lot healthier this year

In my own personal experience this is so true! A younger tree you can much more easily make into what you want. An older tree comes with additional challenges

[@Happy_Buddah_Bonsai_UK]

Awesome

[@Blaydrnnnr]

My problem recently (past few years) is I find myself very attracted to more "sweeping" or "leaning, off center" styles, but I tend to wire most of my trees in training into "S" shaped informal upright. I have 2 Shimpaku that arent really styled yet, they were very badly "pom-pom'd" years ago, and I've been letting them grow out and back bud alot, so I would have better material to try a different style. Maybe at some point you could do some lessons on taking material and working into a more graceful styling? Great vid as usual. Thanks for your time Peter, inspired as always....

I respect it Sir how you share your knowledge.. Your love for bonsai shows when you have a plant at hand and when you aren't able to resist what needs to be done for every one of them... You have two beautiful maples ❤❤... I stay in India (Delhi) ... Was going through your soil components video... I am unable to find pine bark here... What can I use as a substitute sir? Also I would want to find healthy seeds of japanese maple, black pine, Chinese wisteria, sakurakaia... But I am unable to locate them here by myself... I would be helped if you can suggest a place to procure them... Either a nursery that you might know... Or a company that works under the umbrella of Amazon or flipkart... Looking forward to your guidance Sir... I so wish I could have been born around your place to learn from you🙂

[@johndcarlylesr5564]

great always enjoy these videos, have you ever worked with a eucalyptus tree ? i have a rainbow eucalyptus tree and was wondering if it would make a good bonsai?

[@lilxmissxhavic]

Hi John! Eucalypts are difficult bonsai material but it can be done. I have no advice for you, I'm only a beginner myself, but a fantastic resource I've found for Australian Natives is the Aus Bonsai Forums. There are some incredibly knowledgeable growers doing amazing work there. They've been wonderfully helpful as a resource for my leptospermum (tea tree) and Callistemon (bottle brush). I know you'll find good info for Eucalyptus too. Good luck growing, youre a brave man!

[@johndcarlylesr5564]

@@lilxmissxhavic thank for the information. I bought this tree because it will have some great colors when it Matures. will try to make a bonsai with it, but don't know how it will work. we learn by experimentation right?

[@matthouck9707]

@@johndcarlylesr5564 there are examples of people who have made rainbow eucalyptus into bonsai. I thought about it but abandoned into an early attempt and just planted it out. The roots grow so vigorously that I didn't have faith I could stay on top of them

[@stardoll1995]

My guess is with Eucalyptus it's probably VERY hard mostly cause they're very resilient, fast growing and overpowering plants in the wild with very strong roots who are used to growing VERY tall so I personally wouldn't attempt it cause it's likely a nightmare to keep in check.

[@19OJ78]

Im new to bonsai, and have only tried it with available seeds. Mine are not even a yr old yet. Ive also starting with very small pots. How do I know when to transfer to larger pot?

[@Stettafire]

I'd say transfer when the roots fill the pot. If you're starting with very small pots check once a year (Feb or March in the Northern Hemisphere, pre-spring). For a very younger tree I've found they can stand being repotted once a year anyhow. In the beginning treat them like you would any other plant. Then once it's older and stronger you can try to train it into a bonsai pot.

[@sophiesmith5922]

@@reactiontoeffectiveenemyfire I think it was always a nursery, just not his...

[@Stettafire]

@@reactiontoeffectiveenemyfire In my experience (UK) either you buy a pre-existing nursery or you'll need to buy a plot of land and then apply for change of use via the council which can take months, if not years. Also there is a chance the council could reject it. If you don't have much experience running a nersery you'll need to hire a manager who does have experience, otherwise your business will not succeed. It's a big risk to take to buy a plot of land with no gaurentee it'll do well. The land will need to make a profit to pay off its taxes. Most nurseries won't make a profit in their first year. So you need a nest egg to take the financial pressure of that... I mention all of this cus a relative bought a farm and that was "fun". Five years later only now turning the tiny profit
