“I do it my way, you like my way just enjoy it, you don’t like my way don’t watch the channel.” I’m sure you have decades more experience than many of your critics. Mr. Chan, thank you for sharing your immense knowledge.

[@MKbonsai]

Great art and technique of bonsai.. Worthy to be emulated.. Also, greetings to the supporters of Herons Bonsai channel🙏🙏🙏

[@chrisbanner7551]

The Dr has done it again 👍🏼👍🏼

[@jeffhurst4744]

Peter is a master bonsai artist that takes you through a myriad of designs you can consider. So many options. Thank you for your tutorial bonsai videos.

[@steveanacorteswa3979]

Many sweet Junipers Mr. Chan, but I liked the 3 trunk tree turned 90 deg clockwise, the way you showed it, probably some shari on the thick trunk to make it look a little thinner, so inspiring, thanks for the video, I know it takes a lot of work to shoot and to edit for our enjoyment.

[@peterchan3100]

Thank you Steve

[@hashiramabonsai]

Thanks so much for having us! To anyone who never visited Heron's yet i recommend it a 1000% so beautiful! Great video as always, like mentioned I love your voice so much, so soothing and great content as always! Hope I will achieve the same with my channel one day

[@-Crataegus]

Your literati styling videos have inspired me to appreciate long spindly nursery material i previously thought had no value! Not evrything needs a massive spectacular mature trunk and strong taper. 👍

[@Gallerybonsaitjimanoek]

Thank you for sharing the beautiful bonsai ❤

[@MakeMoreBonsai]

I love that you're bringing attention to the San Jose Juniper. I use them a lot for bonsai because the trunks really fatten up fast compared to other junipers. They move resources really well so I like to graft shimpaku to them... which energizes the shimpaku making them grow with more vigor. Its a joy to see you work!

[@walterwjr947]

_THANK YOU for sharing 🙏 😔 🙏_ Dr. Chan, this was a very relaxing video. I love so much watching you wire. Things will begin one way and you will finish another. You have my total attention. 🌲🙏🖖🙏😔🙏🌲

making bonsai makes me want to live forever.

Mr. Chan, I am so thankful for your videos. This one also, as I am learning the art of bonsai since June 2023 and currently working on a juniper San Jose for my level II with Bonsai Gros Bec in St Alphonse de Rodriguez, Quebec, Canada. I appreciate your approach, guided by some principles and yet, so free at the same time. Literati being one of my favorite style…I am already sold to your trees today. Once again, gratitude for all that you do. Sylvie Simard

[@peterchan3100]

Remember - practice makes perfect. So keep practicing on trees.

[@sylvies100]

@@peterchan3100Dear Mr. Chan, along with your book Bonsai The art of growing and keeping miniature trees, I will follow your advice. Thank you for your reply. With sincere regards, Sylvie Simard

[@grokeffer6226]

Beautiful and very educational!! 🌱🪴🌲

[@kevinorr6880]

Perfect tim8ng! I have been searching for a juniper here in No. VA for a few weeks! None are found right now. Very interested in this video and others like it.

[@hattamuttaqin3592]

Wow that is a lot of good informations about bosai.thank you for teaching me

[@hattamuttaqin3592]

[@AsiaPacificGarden]

We've never tried San Jose junipers here before, but looking at the potential you've shown, we now want to try. They're beautiful!

[@MidniteSan]

Thx for sharing Peter 😊

[@T-DsGaming]

I would like to see some videos on bonsai done without wiring. I like the idea of not using wiring on the ones I'm doing and it would be great to see someone of your experience show some without wiring.

[@peterchan3100]

good suggestion - I will try my best but it is difficult.

[@T-DsGaming]

@@peterchan3100 Thanks, I want to be as natural as possible without using wires. That and wires are really expensive.

[@shivangnisharma9448]

I never tire of watching your tutorials like your endless stock, lessons are also new & new tips are shared by you ❤

[@parthapratimpaul6144]

Beautiful demonstration.

[@errtusio6399]

Love your videos. This channel inspired me to try bonsai. Thank you for your work. Greetings from Ukraine

[@justinn.4161]

I would love An 8 session series 😂

[@MAMLeers]

I assume it's not that important but I think it's "Juniper Virginiana (not "Chinensis") Grey Owl". I have quite a lot of them and propagating is quite easy (search for the instructions, given by Mr. Chan; "heel cuttings"). After years of working with and on them, I can confirm that it's a very tolerant and very strong species, very well suited for bonsaï I think. Young cuttings easily survived frost periodes outdoor, even in rather small pots... During the year, colours may vary from a blueish green or grey green to green or dark green. It is just a little bit less refined than Itiogawa and not that "fresh green" or "yellow green" but very much cheaper and far more easy to get... I live in Western Europa (The Netherlands) in about the same climate conditions as Herons. I salute you, Mr. Chan!

[@peterchan3100]

Nice to hear of your experience with Grey Owl juniper

[@MAMLeers]

Thank you. Well, it's all been quite succesfull and in fact, it's mainly thanks to your tips and advices, here, on the Herons Bonsai KZbin channel! That goes for propagating Japanese Maples too and also a few other species. So again: thanks a lot!@@peterchan3100

[@abidingdude222]

Go Peter!!!!

[@dariokrizman3117]

thx master

[@justinn.4161]

Do a video on that 8in San José!!!

[@mikec3820]

mr peter could you do a video breaking down how you price trees for sale or to estimate the value? thank you sir!

[@peterchan3100]

Pricing is a difficult thing to explain - Its economics - supply and demand. Depends on where you live - how strong is the market ie Demand. How desirable are the trees and so on. Marketing is more than just price - it's the Product, Position in the market, your Premises and so on. Not as simple as one would think.

[@BillyHarjo-us8yz]

You are truly a master and your approach is so important to us beginners. I would like to know what you mean by heavy fertilizing. Is it the NPK, frequency amount etc. I would appreciate any info you can offer. Thanks!

[@peterchan3100]

I will try and demonstrate this point when we start fertilising all our plants. For the moment we are only feeding our junipers early as an experiment.

[@andrejunir1977]

Did anyone catch the name of the visitors KZbin channel?

[@SoaPinCH]

Hashiramabonsai. They left a comment here as well.

[@charlesmurray1220]

How does one prevent junipers from becoming overly spindly? How can one promote thickness?

[@charlesmurray1220]

At about 19:35 minutes you say you do not allow your trees to grow too vigorously but more slowly to develop trunk character. How do you achieve that - slower growth?

[@peterchan3100]

Let them vigorously in the ground or in large pots but also trim back the long shoots or branches to prevent the tree becoming spindly,

[@brucedeacon28]

👍👌👌🙂

[@sandrixroma]

So cute the nice young KZbinr. Someone could spell the channel name? Thank you guys and go Peter gooo!!
