[@mchlbk]

Peter, you have created a place of beauty and made the world a better place. That's quite an accomplishment.

[@apearson79]

I'm really starting to see the beauty in the literati style, that giant one is just stunning!

[@jasoneucapor4353]

Always informative. Thank you Peter Chan and your staff.

[@Teresa-ih4sn]

Soooo beautiful it brings tears to my eyes!

[@mangeshthawre416]

What a wonderful collection of junipers , very interesting drift woods in all of them🌳

[@mikec3820]

bonsai "first aid" i dig it.. never waste anything useful. it makes a neat little tool case

[@EgholmViking]

Beautiful trees. Making me strongly considder getting me a juniper while I wait for my cherry sapling to grow large enough to work

[@paullill5604]

Part 51 of Sunday breakfast with Peter Stunning works of art which are in my one day list, Not saying I will never have a tree like these because one day I hope I do.

[@denisewa]

Beautiful stunning trees and works of art...thank you Peter for showing this!

"This year I didn't cut my finger once" - January the 3rd ;)

[@MAMLeers]

Thanks again for an Impressive and interesting video. What I learned, is that it is better to wet the trunk and branches before you start cleaning them up. I didn't know that (and never did it but I'm surely going to give it a try!). But I do have a few questions: 1) Isn't it wise to protect the soil when you are applying sulphur (with an old towel or cloth or something)? 2) Why is it necessary to make the trunks and branches wet before applying sulphur? I know I never did it with my conifers and untill now, never experienced disadvantages. In fact, the driftwood always turned white quite fast (in just a few hours) and not using water, helps preventing the sulphur-and-water-mixture dripping into the soil in my view. But then again, my trees are much smaller so I can use just a tiny brush to apply sulphur. I guess that makes quite a difference... For fellow bonsaï enthusiasts who never worked with sulphur before, I would like to add and emphasize (if you don't mind) that it is very important to protect your eyes! It's nasty stuff! Hopefully, if possible, you can give us the exact time and date of that BBC program about Herons Bonsaï, when it is revealed to you? I guess many of us would appreciate that very much... I only have access to BBC 1 and 2 so I'm crossing my fingers...

[@peterchan3100]

I will let our subscribers know when the BBC program is going to be broadcast. No date is scheduled yet. Yes - Lime sulphur is a nasty liquid. I think is has an acid base. Thats why it used to be used as a spray for killing bugs on trees. We wear goggles and gloves when applying it. Wetting the trunk or wood helps to spread the liquid more easily and evenly. No need to protect the soil so long as you are not pouring the liquid into the soil - a few drops on the soil wont hurt the tree.

[@MAMLeers]

@@peterchan3100 Thank you, mr Chan. I really appreciate your explanation. And so, I keep learning from you and so do others. From now on, I will wet trunks and branches before applying sulphur (which I don't do that often, by the way).

[@AmraphelofShinar]

Looks like a case of if you have to ask how much it costs to buy then you cannot afford it! Haha! I do love evergreen trees, however much they're worth!

[@StephenTurnerVlogs]

GREAT TREES!! I would love to eventually work on a tree like that.

[@Wedge53]

I am told that I can immerse a rough rag in ice water and give my junipers a vigorous scrub to expose the red vein. Will that be worth the effort?

[@Chris-oq6kn]

Id be very interested to see shari done from the beginning all throughout a young tree if possible from the bottom of the tree to the apex . Would love the info! I want to try this out on a shimpaku juniper i bought but its prob only 10 to 15 yrs old. Also does the lime sulfer have to be mixed with water or is it ok to use right out of the bottle?

[@M31glow]

Peter great tutorial! Question, do you have to be extremely careful not to get the lime sulfur onto the live wood, or is it the case that a little won't hurt anything?

[@peterchan3100]

A little bit doesn't hurt the tree- dont forget it was used as a winter spray on fruit trees and some Japanese growers still spray their bonsai in winter with this to kill pests.

[@almac2598]

Thanks Peter

[@lukasmihara]

If you find the photos from Japan, I'd love to see them!

[@sirbenreyes4446]

Worth watching👌💯✔️

[@mattie-lisapeka7072]

Thank you for showing me another beautiful aspect of bonsai, these trees really are beautiful. Can you buy lime sulphur in a ready made up solution or is it a mix?

[@johnfloydman7735]

Amazing trees, thanks for sharing 🙏 ... What is the tv program that you mentioned Peter ? I would hate to miss it ...

[@otofait7714]

Beautiful!

[@johnvasquez973]

What do you use tho shine the dark wood on the bonsai

[@darrenfisherman3838]

I always wanted to do that but I was so worried that it’s not good for the tree can I apply it to any branch or only dead ones?

[@chrisrigoni]

Thank You 🙏✌️

[@MidniteSan]

Beautiful trees..😭 thank you for sharing as always Peter. Happy new year to all ..🌲👏

[@masciadrigianluca4156]

Mr Peter, please I have a question about maple dissectum from nursey. It's good period to make big cuttings and branch selection between jenuary and February?

[@isaiahlopez51]

Who’s wheezing in the back

[@steampunkvampyre]

one often sees Junipers with delicate flat or triangular pads, is this just done for exhibitions ?

[@peterchan3100]

To prepare a tree for exhibition takes a lot of time.

[@amandadonaghey7540]

Is your lime sulphur the same as the Bouie Bordeauxlaise that we put on fruit trees here in France (against mycoses)?

[@peterchan3100]

I am not familiar with the French product but the product we used to use in the 1980's was produce by a company called Murphy. Lime sulphur was banned from use in the EU thirty years ago.

[@amandadonaghey7540]

@@peterchan3100 thank you

[@noahs.2079]

Thanks for this Video Peter! I wonder how you preserve the deadwood on your Tanuki Larch? It would look odd to do it with lime sulfur. But wouldn’t it decay to fast without doing anything?

[@The.khaled]

Can you please show us how to make dead wood on smaller bonsai like the trees in 10:16 and 10:32 or 17:36

[@martindorrance8133]

Peter, does the lime-sulphur damage the live wood? Thanks for another interesting video.

[@Kitty-tc3oh]

What is the difference between a jin and a shari?

[@Jojoie]

I'm really interested to understand how bonsai are priced. Is there a rule of thumb to determining value? Obviously, some specimens are more naturally 'bonsai-ready' than others, but how does age or size play into pricing? I feel like a 30-40 year old friendship is priceless, it must be so hard to part with these dear friends.

[@andreasweber1533]

Hard to make any rules, just like with other works of art. The main driving factor is quality, does the bonsai work as evocative "concentrated tree". Age and size may contribute to that, but aren't a goal in themselves. (Actually, bonsai get old because they're beautiful and valuable, not the other way round.)

[@MAMLeers]

@@andreasweber1533 Yes. I once saw a 10 year old bonsaï (back then) - it was a metasequoia, if I remember well - that costs thousands and thousands of dollars... I do recall that it was a straight upright tree. And of course, beautiful...

[@luckyluke8052]

2 months for taking out wire? How is possible

[@bgertsma]

Is there a time of year that is best to start these kinds of designs? I'm interested in making some of my junipers like these some day if it suites them. I have a long time to wait I my preferred subjects, but I have some sea green Chinese junipers I can practice on in the mean time :)

[@peterchan3100]

You can do this at anytime but Spring and Summer are good seasons to do this.

[@bgertsma]

@@peterchan3100 thanks!

[@winewoman224]

How old is this tree ?

[@sihalayoutubechannel-youtubech]

Do you make vedio how to make lime sulfer and how to apply lime sulfer in to the tree

[@peterchan3100]

The Japanese still make this as it is still sold in Japan - home made recipes dont work.

Great content, but Jesus Christ is the cameraman breathing right next to the microphone?

Peter has cut himself only once this year. It's only January 3. Slounds like me.

what kind of people that have type of expensive tree like this, i wonder.

[@chrissnyder8415]

No need to add an S on the end of Jin or Shari. It's not correct and it looks out of place. You have a lot to learn.
