Shohin Bonsai Collection Tour with Peter Macasieb

In this video, we visit Peter Macasieb, one of our local bonsai artists that specializes in Shohin Bonsai. Shohin bonsai usually refers to trees that are 10" or less in height. Peter discusses his approach to Shohin bonsai as he shows us the different species of bonsai he has in his bonsai collection. Hosted by Jason Chan of Eastern Leaf.
Support our store at www.easternleaf...
Peter Macasieb will be the Golden State Bonsai Federation Convention this October in Riverside, CA. For more information, please visit www.gsbfbonsai.org.

i love shohin, easier to handle, easier to take care of. For me, Shohin embodies the true essence of bonsai.

[@normandorodriguez255]

When I first started getting in to Bonsai a couple years ago, this collection was one of the first I saw photos of and I absolutely fell in love with it. Shohin size is easily my favorite. The big trees are amazing but there something special about holding that tree with one hand.... Thanks for sharing!

[@armandovazquez5731]

It is true in fact for me the most beautiful bonsai are the Shohin. The older ones I don't see as a bonsai anymore.

[@saulsshrimp4996]

I’d like to see more from Peter ...

[@900cubes]

Holy! I went to Peter’s in 2016 with Phoenix Bonsai Society. His collection was huge then and has grown since. It was definitely a unique experience.

[@dongcana4078]

Wow! I fell in love to shohin bonsai right away. Amazing work!

[@petermacasieb8653]

Now that's an impressive collection! I wonder ifbhis neighbors just peak trough the fence and admire the garden 😂 i know I would. Thank you for this awsome interview 💚 post more like this?? 😜

[@RomanGWatch]

Great shohin trees, thank you

[@jacopofasolo6018]

"Use common sense and buy what grows in your area". That's the best advice ever. Most of the bonsai shops are actually selling all these kinds of exotic bonsai species which are so hard to grow and take care here in this area (I live in the Prealps area, north of Italy). Best suggestion for people who are starting this hobby is to go outside and see what it naturally grows... here for example maples, apple trees, oaks are the best and they can easily live outdoor for the while year...

[@carolholt416]

WOW just WOW!!! Absolutely heaven!!

[@petermacasieb8653]

Thank You Carol! I hope someday you will get into small bonsai and enjoy the beauty of it...

Rocky Mountain juniper is considered shimpaku or no? I’ve read that shimpaku varieties have been expanded to the entire globe. That the term shimpaku refers to compact foliage and not just Japanese varieties.

[@johnnacke4134]

What would a 1-2 year Shohin Shimpaku cost, approximately?

Hello Sir. Does Peter Macasieb sell his Shohin Bonsai? Or can we go though you to buy some?

[@petermacasieb8653]

Yes, I sell them and what kind of shohin bonsai are you looking for?

[@gregoryh4601]

@@petermacasieb8653 thanks Peter for the reply. Looking for some that will be ok the Raise in Ohio area. And some pre Bonsai trees could work. I just starting into Bonsai trees and was thinking start small. Since your in California raise them would I need to setup a Small Green house? Do you have a Website or my I give my Email or Instagram to see more Shohin at you Garden?
