Love peters work. Peter has always been the generous the one who has shared his wisdom. His trees live after he works on them.

AAAAAh that wire trick at 18:40 is amazing and will save me so much money - thank you!

[@robbybobby6483]

Your wire straightening trick is a good one. Black pines are nice. Thanks Peter.

[@jjj7665]

Another great learning video. Thank you for the lessons.

[@joshhhuagarcia1890]

Good morning . Very interesting video. New things are learned from each video. You teach the real bonsai, the whole process. Waiting for the next video. You left us with honey on our lips.

Hallo Peter can the bark cutting be done at any time of the year? and how often would you do this? Thank you

[@mzjhonbonsai]

Beautifull siberian larch tree.. Thanks for sharing...

Over the years Peter has shown me how to see the forest thru the trees.

[@jjgibcasting5217]

Great man and what a wonderful place he has created it's beautiful I would love to work there and learn anything and everything he teaches me thats a beautiful dream

[@cvitkam]

What about a tshirt that says ‘Bite the Bullet’ with a picture of Peter cutting with Felco secateurs?

[@greglongenecker1772]

Peter, do you ever cut back the needles themselves to make them shorter? Not candles but needles:)

[@peterchan3100]

I dont do that but I have been told that some folks cut the needles of Black Pine just before they put the tree in an exhibition. The tips of the cut needles will go brown in due course, so it is only done for the show and not as a regular practice.

[@Dovietail]

No I'm sorry. It is impossible that that gorgeous, glowing red maple was more beautiful yesterday than it is today during this filming. I am just struck dumb. It is breathtaking! I would trade a beloved child for that tree. In fact I've got one in mind for you. 😉

[@bered4894]

5:22 what did you smear onto the bark?

[@peterchan3100]

We use a cut paste - either the Japanese one or any other proprietary brand.

[@siegbertwendel1584]

Good morning Peter, is it possible to make a silky pine back bud?

[@peterchan3100]

What is a 'Silky Pine' ? Botanical name would help. But in general, all pines will back bud if you take the growing tip out.

[@siegbertwendel1584]

@@peterchan3100 it a Pinus strobus "Macopin". In Germany it ist called "Seidenkiefer" also the Tree is called Weymouthskiefer.

[@peterchan3100]

@@siegbertwendel1584 Weymouth Pine - you are absolutely right except that in Weymouth - England I have never seen them growing there. The Scots Pine is more common.

[@ryanaugustus]

Peter when you say white pines are more difficult (I forget your exact wording), do you mean because they like to be dry when compared to the black pine? I’m curious what you meant. I have nothing but white pines but they’re on black pine roots, whilst I live in highlands of Colorado. Very low humidity, desert-levels of rain sort of situation. Actually, I lie… i do have black pines but they’re young little things… but they get the same treatment as my white pines.

Dear master Chan , Thank you for these great lessons. We learn so much , please never stop making videos like this 😎 forever grateful, greets from your flemish friends 🌿🌲

[@Pawpawlogan]

Great work. You are right there is so much information to share and so little time. Don't worry about sounding like a "mad man" because you are not talking to yourself, you have 353 k people listening.

Coffee and bonsai for a peaceful Sunday morning in 🇨🇦

[@IRONHORSE427RACING]

It's the only day off we take each week, our Sunday is Church, Breakfast and then I spend my late morning or afternoon tea with Mr Chan while sitting in our indoor green room.

[@diegovanuchi8529]

Peter could you please do a video on how to get and improve ramification on ginkgo?

[@entvisual]

*Very interesting* I like Siberian Larch Trees too 🌲🪴💚❄️

[@brianrussell7691]

A number of new tips for Japanese Black Pine in this video, thank you. Just a few tips I really enjoyed are the zig zag cutting of the trunk’s bark and the snipping the budding candles in the autumn.

[@IRONHORSE427RACING]

So Mr. Chan you need to leave the small sprout branches on the trunk to promote thickening ? Also I never thought of making zig zag cuts to encourage the trunk to thicken but it makes so much sense.

[@MidniteSan]

Cant wait for part 2 😘, thx for sharing Peter 👍.

[@themichaellerner]

Peter, Does your trunk thickening technique work for other pines besides JWP? Any deciduous trees? Curious minds want to know... Thank you for sharing your techniques!

[@peterchan3100]

Yes

[@themichaellerner]

@@peterchan3100 Thank you for your reply. Perhaps I should have been more specific with my question in order to receive greater specificity regarding which types of trees the technique should or should not be applied to...

[@jticklemaker1265]

To me Mr Chan is the Bob Ross of bonsaïs ^^

[@blakelanders6966]

Mr. Chan, I wonder if you have ever used a Shantung maple (Acer truncatum) as a bonsai subject? I think there's a large tree in Kew gardens.

[@peterchan3100]

I know this species but have not used it for bonsai. Its not often seen in Europe as a nursery plant.

[@harrietb2141]

Thank you for all information , and for showing the nice work.🥰

[@digitaIgorilla]

Good morning! I wonder what delights Peter has for us to enjoy with our coffee 🤗☕ Edit: *Spoilers * Black pines and bonus Maple foliage. We're so lucky 💚

[@-ChrisD]

Wonderful indeed

[@almac2598]

Thanks Peter, I hope the winds didn't cause you any issues.

[@modtheblackmarvel]

Yesss the sunday i was waiting for 💯💯🥳24:50 were al my questions answered ..thanks so much .but i can do this in november? is the question now😅😅 @peterchan 😇😇

[@falkhammermuller9342]

I would love to see or know how long these wires remain on the tree. Surely they aren't gonna be there forever, right?

[@LounoirRecords]

pretty simple really, remove them as soon as they start to bite in, which could take between 6 months to 2 years depends how vigorous it is. just check every month or so. there's no reason to remove them earlier in fact you want them to scar the tree (a little bit) - it helps with recovery and strengthens the branch from the required healing

[@bgertsma]

Could the expansion trick be used above a graft to slightly diminish the graft line? I have a couple japanese white pines and it's quite obvious they are grafted. As the base is thicker than the desired tree

[@RoryWilmer]

Thanks Peter

[@bonsaibonssi6179]

very nice video 👍

[@susanakhongsya5154]

do you use to make a pinus kesiya bonsai

[@peterchan3100]

We dont get that variety here as its a sub tropical pine, but no reason why you can't use it - The only problem is that they have very long needles.

[@susanakhongsya5154]

I have two of them about 12 inches tall all its leaves turned brown does it mean that it died

[@junisar9]

This bonsai amazing for inspiration

[@Paradauskasify]

Hello, I am fan from Lithuania, we have a lot of aspen trees growing here (especially tremulas), can I use that type of tree for bonsai material? Maybe you have some of them in your nursery?

[@peterchan3100]

Aspen trees have nice autumn colour - but its not a species I use for bonsai as it is not commonly available here.

[@Papklo]

U can bonsai with every tree. However different characteristics will change growth & care

[@johndcarlylesr5564]

I was just wondering what ever happened to those willow pieces you put in the pond, maybe do a video on that.

I will try and remember to do a KZbin video about them in the Spring.
