In this video I take some relatively small starter material and begin the process to make them into bonsai.

Bonsai for the rest of us - not every tree needs to be 30+ years old. Another tour de force, Peter. Thank you.

[@Tree_bro]

I feel guilty for saying this because I genuinely love watching these videos…but they are also the PERFECT thing to fall asleep to! 😂 I love the mic audio!! Bob Ross of bonsai 🎉

[@Derek-w9j]

So true but the great thing is you can watch it again in the morning

[@NearFall2Pin]

Never posted first before. I feel honored on this channel. You inspire every day, good sir!

[@SdW.8]

This was a great session! I loved seeing the different varieties and hearing that you can make whatever kind of bonsai you want or using nontraditional varieties or containers. My first bonsai was a gingko, and I insisted it be a cascade. My teacher looked at me sideways, but still helped me choose a container in my taste and shape it. I just enjoy the art and whimsy of bonsai. Thank you for sharing with us all here. Much love from the Midwest US 💖

[@MAMLeers]

One of my most favorite subjects! Interesting. In a certain way, it's perhaps more easy for us as hobbyists: we simply have far more time to spend on nursery material like that, than mr Chan has. Thank you for sharing!

[@deepanjanbanerjee3491]

Am so glad that you are highlighting the health of the hinoki over the size of the pot.

[@joegarland4885]

Thank you Peter for an interesting video on small raw material, the conifer plant can be credible bonsai as you have shown, I love them, I have a growing bed with some larger raw material waiting to be turned into a start on their journeys to becoming bonsai.

[@9daywonda]

Very informative as ever Pete.

[@peterpolakovic870]

Thank you for this wonderful video, I'd really like to see a video about how to make a graft spot appear nicer, would help.

[@cindymitchell6525]

I always enjoy the beginner videos for basic learning. Thx.

After months of counselling I think I have fully recovered from peter and stihl hanheld chainsaws

Thanks for sharing your vision and knowledge.

[@highwayjim6672]

I would like to see bonsai made from deciduous nursery stock please.

[@Derek-w9j]

That would be a difficult video as most deciduous trees just look like sticks in pots for the first year

[@headingnorth5701]

These are among my favorites of your videos.

[@parthapratimpaul6144]

Lovely. This is awesome lesson for beginers . I salute you for sharing your verse knowledge to the bonsai enthusiasts.

Anytime I double wire it's usually because I have nothing but an smaller diameter wire and just double /loop the wire back on itself before I begin wiring.

Bad summer here in Northern California, a heat wave. In July temperatures from 42 to 45 almost the whole month. Never happened that high. I panicked and brought all my bonsais inside in my big kitchen for 2 weeks. I lost a lot of young j maples , but bonsais only one. Of the rest of my garden I put shade fabric etc lost many because doesn’t matter how much you water the tree dies. Please do all you can to stop earth heating more. Don’t complain about rain we wish we could have some to refresh. Don’t go out with high temps stay inside with AC. Love from California ❤

[@lennyharp]

I live in Phoenix, Arizona where it sometimes gets to 118-122 degrees Fahrenheit. I usually water fully in morning and evening. I love it as most plants grow year round. Spruce, cyprus and pine don't do well for me out doors. I have gro-lights under awnings and indoors. I probably have 70% success with my summer solutions.

[@frederickdominguez4829]

Thank you Peter. I've tried tons of cuttings , I've never got 1 single strike. I've never peeled a heel though. I'll try again. It's very hot in the summer where I live. It's been 110 or so just about every day.

[@peterchan3100]

If you live in England and can visit me - I will show you how to do it properly.

[@frederickdominguez4829]

@@peterchan3100 OH my friend. Thank you kindly for your offer. I live in the central valley of California. It's been around 110 degrees for the last month or so. But. If I do to the u.k. you will see me . I'm a manchester city fan so I'm looking for good reasons to take a trip. Thank you again.

Great Job Pit i love watchig what you are doing ❤ i learning alot from you !🎉

[@TheMrjoehughes]

The little mugo pines are lovely little trees. With the hinoki, are these trees renowned for not budding on old wood ? Love the hinoki foliage, sea of green !

[@AetinaJackal]

Thanks Peter!! Great video!!

[@user-HolyTrinity3]

my apologies for bringing this up again, for looking over Perter's shoulder mostly shows the back of his hands, and part of the tree. Please, it would help if whomever videos, takes it from the side of Peter, and the plant he is working on. That way we could see where his fingers, scissors, and wire are, and what is happening. It truly would be helpful if done that way. Again, sorry to ask, it is just that we learn so much from you,Peter, and appreciate the time you take to show us, and we want to get all that we can from your videos, which is so very much! Thank-you! You and your talent are very much appreciated

[@peterchan3100]

Thank you for you very helpful and constructive feedback. We are always trying to improve. I like taking shots from the back as this is what I (the creator) sees and what I feel the person learning finds most useful. Thank you again.

[@Derek-w9j]

Peter is amazing and I agree some zoomed in shots showing more detail would be great but Peter works so fast it must be really hard for whoever is the camera person A pair of webcams at the other side of the bench could be an option,from the looks of the benches it's almost impossible for the camera person to get other angles but then the videos would need editing I watch two another channels and between the three they cover everything as one channel can't cover everything and sorry for dropping other channels in the comments but I believe the more we can learn the better it makes us The Bonsai Zone, Nigel goes into lots of details about pruning each branch and has an amazing collection of the less common trees used for bonsai Bonsai Mirai, Ryan gets right into the nuts and bolts of the fundamentals behind the philosophy behind bonsai Sorry his words not mine

[@Aren-fr2nj]

As alway very Informative video. Want to know if we have to kept the tree at the green House after repotting or leave it in the open. Thank you.

[@AetinaJackal]

Just an amateur's experience: if it's minimal root pruning, the trees can return to whatever environment they were in before the repotting as long they receive sufficient water and care, but if you have access to a green house, the heat and humidity would be better for new growth/recovery. Basically, do whatever stresses the tree the least and you want to encourage new growth because that indicates root growth. Good luck!

[@KennetDeBondt]

So funny!

[@lindadejong4]

How long do you leave the wires on the bonsais for? Do they become a permanent part of the tree or can they be removed in a few months or a year? Thank you for your videos they are so interesting to watch.

[@Derek-w9j]

@@lindadejong4Short answer is , wire must be removed before it starts cutting into the trunk/branches How long it can stay on the tree is dependent on how fast the tree is growing

[@peterchan3100]

The wire doesn't always need to be removed. I have often deliberately left wires on the trunk to stay there forever and it makes the trunk gnarled and old when the bark grows over the wire. I have talked about this in other videos.

Hi, when u stop using the wire for shaping bonsai?? Can u do a video about this?

What exactly do you mean? Do you mean shape a bonsai without using wire?

I have explained to you why and how it can be done and with what species - so many factors to consider.

have you any advice on bonsai with apple trees from seed, I have one, that is now in it third summer but I'm not sure if it's as it should be, I have potted it in a bonsai potting mix and it has good drainage, has some leaf but not much vigour, of cause it could just be me having to much expectations .

[@peterchan3100]

Crab apple is very easy to make into bonsai from seed. But not with the ordinary apple. That is more difficult

[@pv-mm2or]

@@peterchan3100 Thank you peter, that would explain it's slow progress, this is my second attempt the first one died in the winter frosts but it had the same problems, there is a wild crab apple growing close to my house, I may try air rooting a piece of that next spring.
