Am I strange? It’s absolutely exciting to me to watch and listen to Mr. Chan make decisions and work on trees while clearly describing what and why. Thank you again.

[@t3dwards13]

Your restraint on this tree brought me joy!

[@gerdgejones2902]

nooo, shoulda snip snip snippedee snipped 🙃

[@peterchan3100]

Some times in life - you dont have to do anything.

[@jamesa7506]

😃 "we've put the cat in with the pigeons" & "even monkeys fall out of trees" Your metaphors are great and I use them whenever I get the chance!

[@MostlyIC]

I love this tree because it has no apex, it splits at the top, that's unique, I'd keep that forever. I'd want to do what ever it takes to promote the growth of the two lower branches so they catch up with the top, and thin the top a bit (I would have bit a different bullet, but I think I like the way you did it better). "very dramatic" indeed 🙂 !!!

[@nillysbonsai9636]

A definite improvement! Very interesting old pine the neglecte of those bottom branches gave way to interested character. Sparse works here

[@brucejeffcott1104]

I like the first branch literati. It really emphasizes the trunk size and great taper.

[@KennetDeBondt]

Josh saved the day!

[@NoCoastGolf]

Love the Wave shirt, Peter.

[@T1374]

Beautiful tree. I'm going nuts trying to decide what to keep and what to cut on one of my older pines. This design gives me an idea of what to do.

[@Rye-y3w]

Honestly, wholeheartedly, i'm looking at the tree and I'm thinking, "looks perfect just like that"

[@henrikschoe9715]

Hallo Peter du bist einfach Genial. Du bist ein cooler Typ mit Sinn für Humor und cooler Kleidung. Deine Videos sind klasse, weil man sich viel für die Gestaltung von seinem eigenen Bonsai heraus suchen kann.Jetzt habe ich aber mal eine Fachfrage,, Wo kann ich guten Gewissens Bonsai Werkzeuge und Scheren kaufen". Die Auswahl bei Amazon oder irgendwelchen Dubiosen Händlern ist riesig aber es sind meist minderwertige Stähle oder miserable Verarbeitung . Bitte gib mir eine Antwort darauf und vielleicht empfehlst du mir einen Verkäufer. Danke schon mal im Voraus und weiterhin viele schöne Momente mit deinen Bonsai 😊

[@jyothilavigne2263]

Love your thought processes Peter! I have wonderful memories of my visit to Herons this year! And a lovely long video of the two of us talking and walking around your stunningly beautiful paradise. I still faithfully watch your videos every Wednesday and Sunday. It gives my week some defined structure. Unfortunately my spinal problems are still there and I find it frustrating as I love working with my hands. Anyway I do the best I can. Sending you lots of wishes for a long and healthy life. Your friend, Jyothi.

[@peterchan3100]

I still remember with fondness your visit with your husband - It gives me much joy to meet each one of my KZbin family and you are special because you communicate with me.

[@gromageindustries6745]

Good decisions 👍 I'm glad you didn't do any major chops! 🙏 💚

[@kswas2784]

When you were talking about what to do to the tree I was thinking of actually tilting the tree to the left about 30deg or so it would look like a tree that was going on a mountainside.

[@ashwindannenburg6283]

Hi Peter, this reminds me of our small workshop at Lodder this year. Is there a video coming of your visit to The Netherlands? Thanks a lot. Ashwin

[@luisrojas2893]

Looks nice in 2d

[@jfdb59]

Wonder what it would look like tipped on it's side to make a semi cascade and remove the top left side of the crown.

[@uppergorple]

An excellent tree. It looks like a real-size, troubled Scots Pine! Conforming to literati criteria isn't necessary with this. See what the back-budding offers next year.

[@T-DsGaming]

It's interesting as a novice bonsai grower to watch the minds think and design. I prefer a larger bonsai but I also like smaller ones as well. I have a very specific plan with mine, letting someone else trim and work on them would mess with me haha. I have a while to go on my pines as they are only a few years old now. I have a question for you, would you put sphagnum moss around young pins to encourage mycelium? Will it grow on it's own or should I help it for the trees health?

[@2702simmo]

If the young trees growing now don’t worry the mycelium will grow itself

[@T-DsGaming]

@@2702simmo It's growing well actually. I figured it would but with it being in a pot with different soil than I took it from I was curious if I needed to help it any.

[@peterchan3100]

Pines and fagus produce mycelium automatically. Although some spores put in the soil would help.

[@T-DsGaming]

@@peterchan3100 Ok, thanks for the reply Mr. Chen. Should I keep them out of the direct cold this winter?

[@jakesnelling8331]

I did like that two branch design... Not sure i would have been brave enough though !

[@chaiwatpotichanid]

Picture child very much agree doing see Luther tree bonsai beautiful things picture long ago 🥰🥰👍

[@dracokaiser]

And the best thing is Scot’s pines, if well taken care of, can bud back and fill in the empty spaces

[@christianbergman6480]

It could become a literati / Bunjin style right top

[@RemiBusseuil]

Is there a way to hook a branch on the side of the tree?

[@peterchan3100]

Try grafting

[@stevenwarner7348]

Geese there guys. I think this is one of those anxiety laden video experiences where, well, every time Peter picks up his clippers, waving the clippers around, who knows what will happen? Ya know. Almost too much drama to tolerate. Whew. Definitely repot this one, maybe more angle. The angle. Definitely the angle. Oh yea Peter, I wanted to report that I found a hole bunch of big red ribbon bows at a discount store here in New Hampshire and yesterday spent the afternoon gathering hemlock cuttings from a young grove growing in the woods. Tying the cuttings together with wire, then a red bow and then on the house for Christmas. Thought of you through this process. ✨🌟❤🌟✨

[@brigittestrain487]

Can l change this to English

[@thematrixcentre]

What is the name of pine that we find in India. Is it good to make into a bonsai?

[@peterchan3100]

You have the Pinus Longifolia (?) but needles are too long. Try using the Casuarina and make it look like a pine.

[@thematrixcentre]

@@peterchan3100 thank you sir.

[@brucedeacon28]

👍👌👌🙂

[@PresidentJorgeBush]

My master strikes again!

[@jaybee8148]

No chainsaw was a good touch . I'm still shacking .

[@gregoryh4601]

Sir Peter Could you have keep All foliage for Now ,then use the Trunk Splitter and Bend the Top Down in phases and Let it Recover from the Splitting and maybe do some thread Grafting to help the Trunks out? Peter you always told Us not to push our Bonsai Tree? Thanks again Sir Peter. Love to Visit you but I would have to Move there because I would want so many of Your Beautiful Pre Bonsai trees. Peace Be With YOU.

[@peterchan3100]

Thank you for your suggestions - something to think about.

[@BridgeCityBonsai1]

“Pine bonsai simplified”?!?!? I think not hahaha. Nothing simple about decisions on that beautiful tree.

[@peterchan3100]

If you analyse any problem - you simplify it - That is the reason for the title I used.
