Making Bonsai from A Large Beuvronensis Pine

[@marclawson7552]

Peter, I’m telling you, your videos are never boring. We love them.

[@thetootsietim]

Really nice to see the interaction with your three helpers/students. Letting them voice their design thoughts, then guiding them to a sensible conclusion, was very informative. It mirrors the internal monologue we all have as we try to see the bonsai within.

[@stephenkoebcke9070]

You're never boring. The subjects are never boring. Even if someone has 1 hundred pines in their collection, they can all look different and pose different problems and decisions, it's all up to the tree and what it gives you. Good job as usual as expected from you. Steve.

[@AAMARTCLUB]

Peter has a vision in his head of how this tree will look at maturity and he’s trying to teach his guys to think for themselves… very tough job but he’s so sweet with them

[@joegarland4885]

That’s how to do a demonstration and a guidance in how to pick the right branches to lose and those to keep taking into account the alternative styling options going forward that may present at a later date. Thank you Peter for showing the viewers and the guys with you how to make the right decisions.

[@Getschakter]

What an honor to get tought by the master himself!

[@robertbrandner]

That's a nice format, Peter Chan teaching.

[@deepanjanbanerjee3491]

A real complex subject treated with dignity in a structured method of elimination! Loved it.

[@brandonyoung-kemkes1128]

I love how your testing them today, Peter.

[@whatwewantAItodo]

Awesome video guys! Nice to see the collaboration!

[@mikec3820]

i agree the same topic over and over gets stale. but i will never tire of seeing how you tackle a complicated tree. every time i pick something new up. thank you peter and helpers!

[@clayeasy]

Never get bored with repetition, especially with your nursery and bonsai stock! But I must say the curiosity was too much, I had to jump a little bit forward in the progress of shaping and cuttin. The white bag trick is great! Thank you again for a great insight of your master work! Cheers! Mika in Finland.

[@somebodyssomeone5336]

Love watching you teach and your approach to equipping others with your experienced approach.

[@steveanacorteswa3979]

Great job out of a complicated tree, I can see the little birds flying though the trunks as Peter always says it should be.

[@charlesmaunder]

Thank you Sir. This video was particularly helpful and enjoyable. I loved the way you interacted with your staff to help them grow. Probably a bonsai metaphor in there somewhere. lol

[@brandonyoung-kemkes1128]

Never a dull moment at Herons.

[@mariapilarme]

You are a good teacher making you three wise man to decide by themselves . Great transformation and it was a scary process. Thanks I learn a lot! ❤

[@bonsaibythesea]

Still waiting for three strong men to show up and help me nice teaching Peter cheers 😮

[@MidniteSan]

uncovering beauty and order in chaos 👌, awesome triple trunk. Thx for sharing Peter 😊.

[@synctuarie4201]

The most important lesson i have learned throughout your videos is the art of patience. Rhank you.

[@mattjohnson9226]

Good morning💥🙏💥 Love and blessings to all.. I thank you for all your videos they will help many..

[@brandonyoung-kemkes1128]

Very well done this felt very interactive.

[@thebeardedbonsai]

Great job Peter, really enjoyed watching this one.

[@leslienakagawa8747]

What an amazing transformation!

[@Im_MarkS]

Great tutorial thank you Peter

[@georgeverghese5121]

Can I request a comparative picture of the tree when u start the vlog and the same tree at the end of the vlog, side by side picture, as the last shot of each vlog… we can see exactly how it took shape

[@alesandrojaviez1486]

very interesting video, good to hear the others too, make the decision process very clear, thanks

[@zimartiste1]

Difficult but a great job...👋👍

[@pattibennett9393]

Beautiful

[@glennhawley1192]

Thanks Peter it helped a lot....

[@samimurtomaki5534]

That literati ended up to a masterpiece.

[@Forreview69]

làm rất đẹp! from Vietnam

[@sanjeeviariyananda782]

❤ That!!!

[@dariokrizman3117]

thx master

[@brandonyoung-kemkes1128]

An idea you could have one tree that is dedicated to KZbin. For viewing its progress and teaching purposes. And any other tree that you use on the channel you should not hesitate to sell your business and the bottom line matters. Thank you for all you do Peter.

[@peterchan3100]

You dont realise how insistent some of our KZbin friends are. They beg me to sell trees that have been shown on KZbin, so I have to be kind to them.

[@michaelleyba2907]

I realy enjoy watching how the trees are trimmed and wired in all videos but 1 thing I'd kinda want to see is the after effects meaning after the wire are removed and time has passed could you do that with one of your passed videos show how they look now just a suggestion

[@jonawolf8023]

There are some videos here about removing wire. Ideally, the branches remain in exactly the position in which they were wired and the wire has not left any marks in the bark. If you remove the wire too early, the branches spring back into their old position. If you leave the wire on the tree for too long, there are pressure marks in the bark that only disappear very slowly.

[@AsiaPacificGarden]

How in the world do you keep track of your inventory?

[@Chris-oq6kn]

I could watch these types of videos ALL day! I think its because its the puzzle to be solved and most of us can get our hands on this nursery material. Great job guys and peter . Hope to see more styling videos . I also think this is why i cant look at ordinary trees anymore 😂 my brain goes right to what can this become in the future. 🦴👁🔛 my friends

[@whatwewantAItodo]

On my Juniper Bonsai I have to keep the coiling of the wire loose, otherwise the branches die.

[@lukemead5276]

Good morning

[@roman85360]

I'd like to know how much such a beuvronensis costs before it got styled?

[@nancyfahey7518]

At 4am, Sunday morning, in Florida, I was saying good bye to the moon going below the horizon. Weird.

[@ERICSELDERBERRYNURSERY]

The trees arnt the only thing dripping in style

[@c2rail]

I live in South Texas (USA) and I have made a bonsai out of an indigenous tree called an Anaqua tree (Ehretia anacua). For the 36 years that I've been tending it as a bonsai, it has never flowered. I have a full-sized anaqua in my front yard (30 feet tall) and it flowers every year. Is there some kind of fertilizer that I can use to encourage my anaqua bonsai to flower? I don't understand why it won't flower. Plenty of sun and water. It's not pot-bound. Any ideas?

[@peterchan3100]

Try feeding it with a high P & K fertiliser - something like Rose fertiliser .

[@c2rail]

I will try it. Thank you. I love watching your videos. Thank you for making them. They are most informative! @@peterchan3100

[@LounoirRecords]

maybe it could be a pH-value issue. most trees need a slightly acidic soil and usually it needs quite a bit of potassium to flower. also there's some stuff called stone meal, with tons of micronutrients in it and sometimes it has effective microorganisms in there as well. helps wonders

[@creightonfreeman8059]

That back branch that you've decided to keep for now is awfully straight, and I think it is too thick to bend unless you use the branch splitter and raffia and extraordinary means. I suppose you could take it on as a challenge but I'm not sure it is worth it.

[@apriloasanuma9575]

1:06 Mr Chan (...) repetition makes it a bit boring(...) please🙇 to learn a lesson from a Master through repetition means to reinforce learning iwould really like to see how the bonsai whose lesson Sir🙇 presented in the past videos are doing

[@brucedeacon28]

👍👌👌🙂

[@KLsmashingblouse]

@heronsbonsai completely unrelated, but what is your take on Americans calling it bonesai? I saw a video where some guy in the US kept calling it that.

[@peterchan3100]

English is spoken differently in different countries

[@svaughn1822]

I have been known to use a long "o" from time to time, mostly in the early morning without enough coffee!

[@brandonyoung-kemkes1128]

Tell those guys to chill a little bit they seem a little tense.

[@acer_p_bonsai]

Great video. As always, it's nice to see the gobs and gobs of trees in your field. Very nice pine trees, and liked the dialogue with students! 🪴🍁
