Thank you for this video. It's 0.35 in the morning and I can't sleep. I was having a panic attack so I opened this video to see all the beautiful trees, listen to Peter and try to relax😢 It really helped. Take care of yourselves, everyone

[@frederickdominguez4829]

Peter I must say your humility and excitement. Bring me much joy..... we aren't even in kindergarten. So great words.

[@jameswells4965]

Amazing….. Overwhelming…. Even Peter is in awe! It’s hard to believe what we’ve seen on his trip. Thanks to Peter and his staff member for making this series of videos!!!

[@peterchan3100]

We love to share knowledge

[@treeaddict]

I am not really a fan of these larger bonsai styles- but, I can appreciate the time, effort, patience, and work that went into making them. Fun tour

[@mattbrennan647]

WOW! Just WOW!

[@marcus7840]

Thanks so much for letting us see this.

[@t3dwards13]

[@MidniteSan]

Incredible ficuses and podocarpus,. Thx for sharing Peter 👍

[@handoyomispandi2548]

Peter Chan are like some kind of visiting bonsai paradise 😂

[@avalancheadenium]

Thanks for sharing ... be happy be healthy all days Mr Peter chan ❤

[@robertsorrentino8293]

Please consider a making a video on what you have learned from your Taiwan tour and what you would incorporate into or modify for your own bonsai or nursery. Thank you!

[@peterchan3100]

Yes I am certainly doing that already.

[@chaiwatpotichanid]

Design meetings because market conditions have Jack yelling at different market types 🥰🤤👌people love natural bonsai trees they see people love natural beauty 🥰🥰👍

[@thebeardedbonsai]

I'm loving every one of these Taiwan videos. Thanks for taking us along Peter. The trees in Taiwan are unbelievable!

[@Chris-oq6kn]

Amazing garden and trees! Great tour. I couldnt help but say to myself the whole time what climate id rather live in and to be honest nothing will take me away from my japanese maples😂😂😂🍁🍁🍁. Amazing trees over there though. I just love seeing the seasons change and await the maple leafs to bud out in the spring. Another great video

[@markusengel5008]

Hi Peter Chan, thank you to take us along! Absolutly stunnign! I extremly enjoyed the Podocarpus. Interesting technic to guide the branches along a thick wire. Good to know and remember if needed! What a trip you did!!!!

[@eveturner1260]

Wow amazing, thank you for sharing 💕

[@Tree_bro]

Mr. Peter looks like he’s about to drop the hottest mixtape of the New Year in the thumbnail 😂🫡 the sunglasses look nice!!

[@loyaluwang4228]

Well you have beautiful maples for your colder climate.

[@wordfilter9542]

Thanks for showing this amazing farm! So interesting to see that and thanks for your explanations! As usual remarkable good👌

[@walterwjr947]

_THANK YOU 🙏 😔 🙏_ Dr. Chan, plants, nature, all creation is _truely humbling._ There is so much diversity. It is amazing how large thes trees are and the growing methods leading to this. Did you guys note the ramification, these trees are _vigerous._ I probably miss it, but what are they feeding the trees? And Taiwan is sunnier than I had thought. I love traveling with you Dr. Chan❗ 🎄 🙏 🖖 🙏 😔 🙏 🌲

[@user-ll6se8kv9i]

“Happy New Year!” Peter Interesting bonsai garden. Thank you for taking us to visit this unusual style of bonsai Garden. Learn a lot just by looking and observing. Thank you Peter! 🙏🙏🙏 May “2024” bring you peace, joy, and happiness for the new year. “Cheer!” 🍺

[@lil.plants775]

please do more content on podocarpus bonsai

[@broman6662]

Spectacular trees, Thank you for this video. Amazing!!!

[@user-me8gx8od6q]

Wow!! part six and yet another mind blowing experience, thank's Peter for sharing your trip with us!! I guess that the South of England, even sunny Sussex is not quite hot enough to carry out any of their techniques?

[@rsa420]

So much new ideas thank you for sharing

[@harrietb2141]

OMG! 😍

[@matthewbaker9510]

WOW!! Amazing trees!!

[@Alex-yd5zz]

Спасибо , чудесное место по выращиванию бонсай

[@tedkell92]

Indeed Peter, a spectacular set of nurseries. They definitely have the climate to grow trees like these. I do think that if they were growing in a more temperate climate their trees would look pretty much like yours and be of about the same sizes. At one point you were talking about how those trees were formed and kept about twisting and growing. Isn't that what you do? You didn't say anything about the really huge tree at 27:27. In the background there is a SHADE tree over 12 feet high pretty much covered in blooms. Now, that's the one I'd like to have in my garden. Thank you for showing us all those beauties.

[@Tybold63]

Lovely tour I guess almost overwhelming and not easy to take in at once. Must be fantastic to live in areas and countries like this where the growth is strong and you can sort of make room for experimentation on styles in a manner you cannot do in Europe.

[@tintusoman6448]

Woww nice collections sir,beautiful,Happy new year peeter sir❤❤❤❤

[@pervezahmed546]

Seeing is believing

[@IEATCHAIR]

Excellent series boys. Josh, I heard you talkng about the smashed bricks for for a growing medium (2:01), I never thought of that. Great tip. And Peter: look at what you can achieve in those warmer climates it's amazing, but then you loose the oppertunity to grow Japanese maples. Is the trade off worth it?

[@peterchan3100]

I would consider it certainly

[@silnygeralt]

Can we have some video about podocarpus maintenance and wiring? It's not much around on KZbin about them, and they are one of cheapest and very easy to get actually

[@judlpd]

Right, my Podocarpus is going into a huge pot this year and into the polytunnel.

[@bonsaibythesea]

Livin large in Taiwan 😮

[@andrewlazzaro2509]

I would love to know the variety of podocarpus that has the 'small leaves' that they are using for grafting.

[@qnprogrammer]

Thanks for the videos. Wish the video and audit were better for such a great trip though.

[@loyaluwang4228]

Bonsai Jungle haha

[@jerry8405]

Is it better to bring junipers inside for the winter I wonder

[@susanellis1395]

Hi just watched this video and didn’t quite understand what the pot on the pot is for could you please explain that again thank you

[@Cuchulainn1984]

With your particular interest in literati/bunjin, do you collect the kind of art you often mention in videos when making that kind of tree or appreciating the work of others in that style?

[@peterchan3100]

Yes - my home is full of Asian art.

[@Cuchulainn1984]

@@peterchan3100 It would be wonderful to see more of that in the videos. I liked the sunrise video you put up recently. Also, quick question: In California, when pine limbs die or get damaged, they take a long time to distress and shed bark. Is there any major downside to not stripping jin in order to mimic that look? (I'm guessing it might leave the tree open to disease.)

[@brucedeacon28]

👍👌👌🙂

[@stevenwarner7348]

So Peter, Your "growing field" is as good as these. Your Bonsai "for sale"are as good as these. Different climate, different kind of "sophistication." Different "creds." Here in the USA we think of a 1968 Eldorado Cadillac as a really big car but I wouldn't drive one. You know. Or the difference between a Harley Davidson fat boy and a Honda Transalp in the motorcycle world. More manageable is better and these plants show it. 〰These guys are just a bunch of Show Offs.〰. (another term from the USA). 〰Just saying.〰 〰.〰〰 ✨🌿✨🌳✨🦋✨🌿🌳👍🌳🌿✨🦋✨🌳✨🌿✨〰〰〰. (from New Hampshire)
