Projects with Young Maples

I would love to spend a day with this man just walking around and talking about Maple Trees. The wealth of knowledge he could give is invaluable. Love it.

I rarely make comments, but this channel is wonderful. Informational, motivational and takes a much appreciated common sense approach. Always look forward to new videos.

[@peterchan3100]

Dan - thank you for your feedback. We like comments as we need to know what you guys like or dont like. Keep the comments coming.

[@RobertHolcombe-y3t]

My first time here and I’m totally interested, he seems very knowledgeable and -authentic“ is the best way I can word it.

[@tejashyamgopal]

Peter is a great example of “Love what you do, do what you love”….work isnt work then..Thanks Peter

[@HousBinPhartiin]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again,…….Peter is the Obi-wan Kenobi of the art of Bonsai. He is truly a master. Thank you for what you do and keep up the great work.

[@hubert3919]

Nope, but he's rather Master Yoda of bonsai art.

Hi Peter, Don't worry you are never robbing our time :) All your knowledge is here for free it is a priceless treasure. Thank you very much for everything.

[@GinoDryer]

Thank you! For your videos and this one here of 🍁 Maples 😊

[@logoutplz]

I've been wanting to buy a tree for about 6 months. I've watched plenty of videos shopped . Well yesterday I happened upon a pair of maple saplings in my back yard. I plan to pot it soon I'm waiting for supplies now . Thank you

[@almac2598]

Thanks Peter. More Bonsai magic. How to treat young starter trees is an area that seems to be neglected on the net, so this video is very much appreciated. I hope Storm Alwin's winds did not cause you any damage.

[@peterchan3100]

No that storm did not come south, so we are lucky to have escaped. In 1987 we had a 150mph storm which destroyed all our greenhouses.

[@almac2598]

@@peterchan3100 I remember that one. I was on a RN Ship coming through the Dover Straights straight into it. Thanks for the reply.

[@Stettafire]

Arwen was pretty bad where I am. Took out my fence and put half my buddija into the pond. Follow that up with storm Barra. Luckily no damage to the shed and some of the fence just slotted back into place. Going to get a kind relative to help me fix the rest of the fence this weekend. Weather permitting will take up a few slabs to expand the garden :)

[@NoCoastGolf]

This guy is a treasure. It's a shame not everyone knows of this channel.

[@SeanLKearns]

I love how this man is teaching us more about trees than any of us every thought we'd know.

Oh Peter! The maple and pine trees viewed across your pond 😲 just a eutopia 😍😍😍

[@wendychandler8304]

'We grow lots of maples' said this wonderful man, surrounded by forests of gorgeous trees, and with eleven different ones, some in pots, I want to run out and buy more. Not for bonsai, but to fill my garden with their glorious colours. Thank you!

[@johnlone207]

This man is awesome! He just made a mini tree forest! I just ordered and potted 15 Japanese Red maple seedlings and potted them last week, and now, will order order more for this reason. Thank you!! Truly an inspiration.

[@Matt6644]

Peter I'm sure you probably wont see this however your videos (and others) are a constant source of inspiration and information. I'm currently developing a Zelkova Serrata and it is doing exactly as it should do according to your guidance (also from your book). My aunt is actually visiting us in New Zealand from England and she must have just missed you when you did your latest "Wisley" video as she was there on that very day. If I ever get the chance to travel to England again I will make a mission to visit your nursery if it is open.

[@peterchan3100]

I shall look forward to your visit one day

[@voodooskratch]

Peter is a gift for humanity.

[@LilBitJo]

He butterflies like me 🤣 I could walk through his magical maple heaven every day.... getting nothing done. love this man. He is the bonsai whisperer! 🙏

[@gracepeterson7483]

The conditions in my Pacific Northwest garden (USA) seem to be very favorable for maple seedlings. They grow like weeds. Although I am developing several single bonsai maple trees, it never occurred to me to create a forest. Thank you for the inspiration, Peter!

[@Stettafire]

My neighbour has a massive maple tree so little seedlings keep popping up in my garden. Definatly going to see if I can pot one of them :)

[@gailcirac8222]

The way they're taking down our trees around here, we need your Forrest😊

[@bonsaibaby8257]

@@Stettafire did you pot one? If so, how’s it going? I just potted a seedling that I found in my front yard ditch. It’s probably about 2 years old but not sure which type of maple it is. I also potted two other seedlings. One might be an oak and the other I have no idea!😂 This will be a fun time figuring it all out. I’ve never seen started plants by digging them up from my yard.😁

[@dianthaweilepp5294]

Hey Grace. I just potted up a little vine maple that sprouted in an oregano pot. How about trying to see how many native trees and shrubs can be bonsai'd here in the Pac NW? I just found Peter's web page, and he is inspiring!

[@gracepeterson7483]

@@dianthaweilepp5294 Good idea. I have several natives already: Hawthorne, Metasequoia, Douglas Fir, and several others. They're all fairly small, of course. I have been watching Peter for about three years. He makes the process so less intimidating.

[@WhiteDragon689]

Peter, you show respect for the trees when working with them. Some bonzai people treat them with a bit of anger in shaping them. Thanks for respecting the life in those trees. May you never lose that.

[@spottedcat9316]

[@onesadtech]

Thank you for this! I just potted my first two bonsai from some maple saplings that started growing in my backyard in an area where I would have to mow them in the spring. So I figured after watching a bunch of your videos recently, it was time! Not sure if I did it all right, but we shall see. 😊

Small update 2 months later, both are thriving with lots of new leaves growing all the time. 😁

That is ONE lovely Maple. AND, that is one lovely garden.

[@patriciadavey6895]

Living in mid west France where it is often very hot, I had a great tip from Peter. He said that they don't always use bonsai substrate, but put them in ordinary compost. Great news for me since it is very difficult to obtain the bonsai stuff. I have some substrate left and mix some with ordinary compost. Very pleased with the result and the trees don't shed branches. Had my bonsai for 25 years now and they are the best ever this year.

Been searching for a video which can simply show how things can and could/should be done. Without doubt the very best video I have seen after such a lot of searching this gentleman has helped me so very much in a short time. Starting very young sycamore/Maple sapling so plenty of work to do over a long time but now very much more confident in what i can achieve. Thank you so much.

[@matthewkizziahcuzia...gott9632]

I just added a Beni shigatasu sawa to my maple family. Beautiful.

[@BlueSkyBonsai]

Definitely the clip-and-grow developed maples look more natural. I never wire Japanese maples nowadays, because their bark scars so quickly, and then can take up to ten years for the spiral scar to become unnoticeable as the bark matures.

[@my_way_to_bonsai_anne]

🍁 I agree.

[@gentkapiti5528]

use the peter chan open coil technique :D

[@macegamesdx3162]

Have used the open coil method! Highly recommended. I've use it for elm also! The tree grows into the wire with minimal contact

[@macegamesdx3162]

Grows into the wire shape*

[@Gryffster]

Has anyone ever tried padded wire?

They only had thick wire but was able to shape it in a loose S & I will order smaller wire for the branches. I also have 5 sm seedlings(2”) that rooted from a lrg red maple & I’ve already repotted them so hope to make a grove someday. Breathtaking grounds 😍
