Peter is becoming one with the Bonsai, he even has a price tag on him now.

[@peterchan3100]

I think I have already mentioned that even I have to buy my own Herons branded hat !!

[@oscars85]

It's the new style now these days.

[@GrowingBonsai]

Nice collection of Junipers. One day I will make it across the pond to come and visit the nursery!

[@scheers100]

Visited last weekend, really enjoyable. So peacefully, even did not hear the planes flying over😊. Peter and his staff are al top people!

[@angieb6899]

Love your hat and the tag 😂 but most of all I love your videos. Hope to,see many more this year …

[@julesverne2509]

I have Mr. Peter Chan to thank for getting into bonsai. He really does make it easy for anyone. I have hundreds of tree's probably now growing and so I'll have plenty to work with. I love shaping them and caring for them. They are living art.

[@kong2962]

I never get tired of watching you exhibit your mastery. I have learned so much, but have become obsessed and seemingly addicted to creating Bonsai's, and Penjings . Also All this has rekindled my passion for woodcarving which I did much of in the 70& 80's, creating driftwood coffee tables, tea stands plant stands and several other artistic pieces. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for relighting up my life. may your blessings be plentiful.

Thanks Mr Peter Chann many thanks you are amazing gentleman, sharing your knowledge and tips. 👍👍👍Ernie smith from brisbane Australia

Thanks peter and Josh

[@mick681]

Great to see you back. Hope you had a great time in India. I would love it if you did a follow up of the trees with completed jins and re potted. Very inspirational.

[@Wedge53]

What a great way to start my day, Peter and Josh style Itoigawa, and a strong cup of coffee. Greetings from Baltimore Maryland US Have a great day.

Great demo Peter and Josh.

Great before and after. Hi from the East Bay Bonsai Society in the San Francisco Bay Area.

[@jamesa7506]

I really like those small juniper. They have very dramatic movements to them. Very nice!

[@lucyb15]

My personal preference is to make bonsai with what I've got at hand but if I were to branch out and seek something exotic, the Itoigawa juniper is a real temptation. Very very beautiful trees! thank-you for this introduction.

[@jameslangschied7900]

Great examples of specimen bonsai in the making. Too bad I don't live in the U.K. I'd make a beeline to Peter's shop and snap these beauties up.

[@nillysbonsai9636]

Stunning Junipers Peter! They make amazing bonsai throughly enjoyed this one!

Love iotoigawa and kishu . My favorite junipers. Hope u had a nice vacation peter! Glad to see u back in action

[@peterchan3100]

[@Chris-oq6kn]

Thx for sharing Peter 👍

Love the label on Peter's hat @1:05🏷

Those hats have our brand but even we have to buy them.

Just beautiful 💙💙💙💙💙

[@mossbackbear]

Thanks for making this, Peter. I live in the Pacific Northwest where mighty evergreens abound. To me, juniper (prior to my intro to bonsai) has always been a ground cover. Watching your juniper vids, I feel more confident to invest in a workable juniper cultivar and have at it.

Quite a gift to own such wonderful material to work with. They look fantastic! I’m stuck with commercial nursery material. Thanks for the tutorial and inspiration. Keep growing

Hi Peter! How come we never see anything about birch trees? They seem like they would make good bonsai. Thanks for sharing your wisdom, you truly are a good soul

[@peterchan3100]

Their branches die easily, so its not easy to use them. I do have some Silver Birch bonsai.

[@steffengylling4924]

@@peterchan3100 Thank you! Would it be best to shape by pruning then? Is silver birch yamadori possible or are the roots as sensitive as the branches?

I still want Peter to get Juniperous Virginiana.

@Herons Bonsai Good Monday, March 20, 2023 Peter! I have heard you mention ginning/jinning (sp?) a few times, since I started watching the channel. Can you please explain, for me and others whom are recently following, what that means? Thank you, very much!!!😊😊

[@richardwilson2118]

Hi. Can you make heal cuttings this time of year with junipers?

[@peterchan3100]

Yes - junipers are fine

[@richardwilson2118]

Do you use rootting compound? Just leave in a cold greenhouse?

[@carlosferegrino290]

Mr. Peter! Thanks to you and your channel I have started the bonsai hobby! I want to ask you and your team; What is the best date to prune trees and bonsai? Is it true that winter is the best? I have seen videos of you where you also do pruning in spring and others in June (almost summer). Thank you for your teachings and greetings from Spain!!

[@peterchan3100]

You can prune throughout the year but there are different reasons for pruning at each of those times. In winter we prune to create structure, in Summer for making more twigs and branches and so on.

[@carlosferegrino290]

@@peterchan3100 Thank you Mister Peter, you are my mentor! Whenever you like I welcome you in Madrid Spain! All the best!!!

What would the value be on one of those Itoigawa’s in this video?
