Making Bonsai from Large field grown material

[@gerhardbraatz6305]

Your voice is not boring, it's soothing. You are the Bob Ross of bonsai.

[@neilappeal20]

Couldn't agree more 👏🏼

[@WheelerHomestead]

I agree 👌🏼

[@zero3556]

It feels so unreal to me how Bonsai enthusiasts say things like "I have bought 4 dozens of trees 50-something years back and here they are" as if it's the most normal thing to do. I think if there's one thing Mr. Chan taught me over the years, it's being patient with things that are important to you. God bless this national treasure of a man.

[@joshuasaville4001]

In one of his videos he said something like “this tree has only taken 20 years to look like this, so who saying bonsai has to take a long time” like what!! I’m not even 20 years old yet !!

[@bebopkirby]

This guy has a amazing attitude, he is at the top tier of his profession, but still humble enough to know that there is still always the possibility if he is not careful to make big mistakes, like a beginner.

[@user-pt1cz4ot1e]

Does anyone else think it’s sweet that Peter thinks we could ever get bored? 🙋🏼‍♀️🥰

[@ph-vf5hx]

Haha. In reality we'd like to know more

[@tigingrasta953]

I hang on every word petter say Peter cud never bore me 🙏

[@andreasleiker262]

You must be wondering why im answering on this question :D I also think that worrying about being bored is for nothing.

[@noumine]

lol he's such a sweetheart, isn't he?

[@neilappeal20]

I can't get enough 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Kasanovasosa]

I love when Peter does something like lifting the tree and goes “huyyyee” the camera man always giggles too 😂

[@jpkatz1435]

"They may look uncared for but they all have potential." This is the fundamental hope/truth of all of us who are struggling. THANKYOU Peter for the insight and reminder.

You have quickly become one of my favorite channels on youtube. I really enjoy watching you transform these trees into something amazing. :)

[@NewNormac]

Peter your voice i find very peaceful and calming

[@razim.blakley5651]

I have been caring for Bonsai trees for over 25 years now, most everything I have learned is self thought and trail and error. I go to nursery’s and look for plants with potentials to be a Bonsai trees, junipers work best for me, even though they say junipers don’t survive indoor I have multiple trees that have done very well. Thank you Peter truly enjoyed this video.

[@jude1515]

I agree. I am going to try to create a mame style bonsai. I want to keep it inside on my windowsill.

[@donnaikin7397]

I have had so much fun watching this video, sitting down on a hot Sunday arvo, with my coffee and relaxing and enjoying and best of all learning or relearning things I may have forgotten. I think that is such a transformation,I just love it. Thank you so much.

[@russelldooley6262]

Saying you have a good eye is an understatement for sure. Good job

[@MidniteSan]

What a result 👍, thx for sharing Peter and Josh 👏.

[@brentjenkinsdesigns]

Wow! Many lessons in one short hour. Thank you.

[@birder4life999]

I am very excited to see some more pine work from you! I have lived most of my life in and around subalpine and boreal forest so am naturally partial to pine fir and juniper for bonsai.

[@inmadom]

What a change! Now it looks beautiful!! Thank you, Peter!

[@noumine]

I just rewatched this tonight. Great way to reinforce previous bits of useful information as I go forward with my bonsai endeavours. And I just want to add that I don’t find your voice boring at all. Not in the least bit. You sound very distinguished and authoritative and like someone who’s got years and years of experience (which you do have 😊.) Thank you for all your hard work and generosity.

[@brentjenkinsdesigns]

Actually Peter. I follow multiple channels that produce 1hr to 3hr content quite often. Although I do realize that many of your viewers wouldnt appreciate really long videos. There are many of us that would watch for hours without growing bored. At any rate, thank you so much for taking the time to record your experiences & knowledge with the rest of us.

[@thomasroeder1]

Apple, please sponsor Heron's Bonsai!

Please tell Apple about this - I need a new phone.

No wonder people flock down to see you amazing work

[@nancyfahey7518]

If I could afford that tree and transport I would buy the tree. It turned out perfect, and seeing the transformation adds a personal touch. Thanks for sharing.

[@WantedVisual]

Just dropping in to say your tanuki videos made me realize the priced down 'miniature supported citrus trees' in our garden center were just shaped-but-not-set saplings with the potential for some height, like a tanuki wrapped around driftwood, and it saved me going to five other stores to find a tall plant I liked. Peter Chang says experimenting is good and you learn by doing, so I took a tree home, undid the ties keeping it in shape, and tied it to a stake. I now have a very cute, slightly twisty, four-foot lemon tree. Here's hoping it survives.

[@keithmaclure9101]

Branch splitter, what a tool! So many lessons here. Thank you sirs. 😊

[@amateurambience]

i love the long video by Peter, it make my date very calm and learn so much at the same time! thanks again Peter!

[@KWwest]

Dear Mr. Chan Thank you for the lovely videos. Wondrous works of living art you create- you are to me a master living legend. As a 13 yr old I lived in a forest & appreciated the small, weathered trees. I have many houseplants & orchids that are 40+ years old & train huge oak trees, best as possible, to be large bonsai:) I don’t believe there is a finite life span for plants - if cared for properly, they can live indefinitely. In the small coastal town of Little River in California, there are 3000 year old Pigmy pines - some probably older. You wouldn’t know it, they look like 20 yr old beautiful bonsai trees 5-6’ tall.

[@dmdale3598]

This gent is amazing. It would be great to visit and spend time learning from him.

[@CR-di1lg]

Looks amazing and hope to see it again at some point in time. Love to hear more pines are coming!

3.30pm for me here on my little tropical island in the middle of the Gulf of Thailand... and looking at all of the 'winter wear' on Peter I can say I don't miss the cold weather in the UK at all! Lol... BUT... being in the tropics limits the choice of trees for bonsai... I can get a couple of types of Juniper fairly easily, but finding a decent conifer is cause for a party! 😁 I'm looking for pyrocanthia and Cotoneaster horizontalis at the mo... no joy yet ☹. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us 'noobies' Peter... 30 odd years after you got me started with my bonsai 'hobby' I STILL learn things from your uploads! 😁👍🏼🙏😎

No way, I find your voice and cadence quite calming and reassuring. I got into Bonsai many years ago whilst working for a small coastal nursery. Lost the drive after my babies were destroyed by a malicious Ex. (I deserved it). But you give me the confidence to start again. Thank you!

[@jude1515]

The tree already looks beautiful!

[@mmjnice97]

I see everything.. and I also see that you have security video Surveillance which is very wise! My favorite nursery in Dayton Ohio was Is recently burglarized and I'm beside myself with Disgust! Northwest Garden Center has the largest selection of bonsai trees in probably a 300 mile radius here in Ohio. I am in first name relationship with the 80+ year old owner and 55+ year old son. Both are Dayton natives.. Everyone older then 30 can sing their commercial which has been playing for 40 plus years. They have bonsai grow from seed that are now 50 years old! The thieves took 3000 dollars from this Dayton landmark but luckily didn't touch the priceless bonsai trees only inches away! The owners wife of 70 years passed away Recently and I feel so bad for him. If anyone is in the Southern Ohio region it's worth a visit definitely. Great selection and prices are behind reasonable. Sometimes I feel like I should pay more its so reasonable.. anyway good vibes and prayers never hurt anyone.

[@peterchan3100]

There are some real scum bags around.

[@Kjbrunzo]

I typically try to make more large (pre) bonsai than small ones. A video I would like to see is another "Bonsai for Free - Using Seedlings" it has been a year and would be interesting to see what has been growing around Heron's to be used as bonsai. After all, it was a popular video, over 500k views.

[@OldCountrySeeds]

Agreed! I would also love to see the follow-up to those vids to show us how they are a year or two or so after the fact. And what Peter or Josh would do with them now.

I noticed that you have chanced your way of wireing. You used to cut the wire off of the coil before wireing but now you wire with the coil still attached. I just love to see that you have changed your way of doing so since it gives less wire waste.
