[@victortaboada2058]

Happy to see you back!!! Thank you for sharing your expertise!

[@cesarurb]

Welcome Back! Your videos are invaluable! Thank you!

[@annanym5947]

the way you talk is quite the opposite of guys like ryan neil and i love it ^^ he would never talk about ego and things like that haha im very glad that you upload videos again.

[@jg00000]

Peter talks from the soul. No mid-manager word soup!

[@alexandraprevezanou5448]

Best teacher of all! Thanks Peter! Love from Athens.

[@saruyamabonsai]

Cheers, hope all is well in Athens

I really appreciate your videos, Peter. Thank you and I hope you're doing well 🍻

[@saruyamabonsai]

Glad you like them

[@jameswalker3416]

Thank you for a new video ive learned so much from you.

[@SuperPeleke]

Yesssss a new video!!

[@harrygorman6940]

One of the best Bonsai videos I have seen in a while, please make more Peter! I really appreciate your views

[@JohnnyGreenroom]

Ahh my fix at last 😎 your unique style always grabs me for thought. As soon as you said making a video is narcissistic I clicked, but I so enjoy the selfless effort. This felt like popping in for a cuppa 😃🍰

[@wabisabi3619]

Totally agree mate, Peter’s style is my favourite among the prominent bonsai professionals.

[@saruyamabonsai]

you could always pop in for a real cuppa one day

[@jg00000]

More!

[@nallakk5131]

Just what I needed. Another perspective on perfection, less is more sometimes. Thx alot

[@bonsa1guy]

Peter, missed your online presence, I know you hate technology but I'll always tune in to listen to knowledgeable people speak. Your opening welcomes in your lockdown streams were funny and cheered me up no end.

[@jonathanaristone2468]

Nice to see you back Peter. I respect your patients with this tree. Your natural approach with the design is spot on. Thanks

[@saruyamabonsai]

Cheers

[@paolomh113]

Looking forwards to more of your videos. Thank you.

[@bjornnorberg8996]

Great video and a great comeback on the Tube!

[@777greglee]

I love your 'leave it alone' philosophy. Just the right amount of intervention to achieve a subtle and beautiful result. Glad to see a new video too.

[@saruyamabonsai]

Cheers. Its because I am lazy ;)

[@bobmccarlie382]

Thank you for posting a new long video. I’ve missed the live streams you did during the first year of the pandemic . Please post more!

[@almac2598]

Thanks Peter. Another thoughtful and informative video. Much appreciated. Nice to see you back. An inspiration to a Bonsai learner like me.

[@percyacutt3110]

Great video, really glad you have returned, please keep going 👍👍👍👍👍

[@berzerkulesii3857]

Thank you. I appreciate you sharing your garden, unique perspective and style. It opens a window for beginner to see a different approach bonsai. There are countless videos on techniques but I feel you can teach just as much about the mind set of approaching a tree. Thanks again.

[@saruyamabonsai]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@firaszkamal]

Fantastic video! I'm only 3 years into bonsai and really enjoying it. I was anticipating getting bored with all of the explanations, but everything you mentioned really was important to understand the vision you had for the tree. I only just came across your channel and look forward to watching more of your content

[@blueridgebonsai9155]

Are you really back or is this just a one off? Glad to see you again and the new format. How about a tour of your garden?

[@saruyamabonsai]

might do some more videos. need more time though...

[@MokumaBonsai]

Very nice tree and just as nice talk. Super interesting to listen to your thoughts.

[@bonsaidenhaag]

Great video! Unique perspective in styling a juniper, Well done. Very modern approach of a real bonsai artist! I would love to see more of this type of work and vision

[@marklayzell8132]

Fantastic video. As always I do think you’re videos are the most informative on KZbin. Can’t wait to see you doing a talk for the club I am a member of , Southend bonsai society . Keep up the good work, if you have not seen the lockdown videos. It’s a must

[@andoionutdan9670]

Lovely work lovely tree

[@saltySandworm1]

Thank you Peter, for this great video. I think its fantastic that you shared the history of this tree, the reasoning behind your decisions made, as well as the nuances that come with this specific species. Another gem on your channel! The quality of this video was also a great improvement. Comparing it to your first videos, your directing and editing skills have matured and refined as well so it seems. Beautiful tree, beautiful garden (from what I can see in the background) and keep up the good work. All the best, cheers

[@saruyamabonsai]

The directing and editing skills are not mine so thats why they are good :)

[@robbo60cr]

Nice to see my old tree looking so good. I still look at old photos of the tree and wondered how it turned out. You've done a great job with it Peter.

[@saruyamabonsai]

Cheers. Send me the pictures please...would love to see them

[@acer_p_bonsai]

Great video Peter! Thanks for your wisdom and insight!! 👏🏽 🙇🏻‍♂️ 🪴

[@roberthannigan4382]

Great video Peter. Very informative. Thanks.

[@nickaleshin7149]

Happy to see a Peter Warren upload!!!

[@saruyamabonsai]

Thank Dean Kelly for that

[@hectorquintero2870]

I wish we xould see more of peter and his thoughts on bonsai. The man is a gem.

[@emy1111]

really like the aesthetic and the philosophy behind what you do, something to aspire to. always learn allot from your vids. The grey area is where the depth lays, where the light is filtered into infinate dimensions.

[@saruyamabonsai]

Cheers. glad it was useful

[@simonbremner2707]

Love it! Watching this and listening to your thoughts, had me thinking about Ryan and Dan Robinsons recent conversation, and that this approach is leaning towards Dan's.😉

[@wabisabi3619]

Oh, and I love that London plane tree in the background. It appeared in some earlier videos. It’s just gorgeous. Delicate and subtle, the foliage is beautiful. It’s only going to improve with age of course. I’d love to see it in 10 more years.

[@naisbyw3276]

Very cool video, thanks for the little wisdom nuggets. That tree looks absolutely amazing from every side. The more you rotated it the better it got.

[@saruyamabonsai]

Thanks 👍

[@wabisabi3619]

Awesome, worth the wait between vids. Peter, your videos during lock down were incredible and I really needed them at the time. I saw, you in Australia in 2019, the night time demo you did on a 20+ year squamata juniper in Sydney. It was a really important night for me just seeing a world class pro in the flesh. Thank you for all the educational work you put out. You’re a legend.

[@saruyamabonsai]

Thanks but I am just a bloke who fiddles with trees and thinks too much :)

[@wabisabi3619]

Haha I guess. That sums up most people involved with bonsai perhaps. But don’t sell yourself short, I think a lot of people greatly appreciate what you bring to bonsai. And I definitely like the way you think to much. As I said your lock down videos were so important and not just because of what you said about bonsai your thoughts and insights mattered too.

[@stonemonkey1968]

Great video Peter Hope you and the family are well buddy , love from us both

[@trissuper1]

Such an inspiring video makes a beginner like me want to explore this side of bonsai. In contrast with the more extroverted louder styles. Watched your zelkova stream before this as I purchased an elm from Danny this spring. Learned something today thank you 🙏

[@saruyamabonsai]

Thanks. Just find what resonates with your own tastes and go for it

[@dan-ig2ds]

Love the tree. Thank you for sharing!

[@holdingnaturebonsai702]

I love it! Thank you for sharing this!

[@jaumetormo9107]

It's been a long time since I took notes while watching a bonsai video, today, with this video I've done it. I really like your approach to bonsai. Talking about michicomi is very daring, because to achieve it, the only thing you can do is take small steps, and that is not cool these days. Thank you for the video!

[@saruyamabonsai]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jimbersmcimbers]

The big man is back, love the ambience man!

[@saruyamabonsai]

Never went anywhere, just had other things to do

[@jimbersmcimbers]

@@saruyamabonsai Nowhere to go but everywhere

[@BONSAIenCORTO]

What a garden, its crazy....es mi primer video contigo y estoy perplejo..... la calidad de la explicación es abrumadora, incluso la humanidad de la explicación..... what a video, im speechless...

[@alfredoacuna4387]

Hola Bonsai en Corto. Te recomiendo que te des una vuelta por el canal de Peter, sus vídeos no tienen ni un minuto de desperdicio.

[@BONSAIenCORTO]

@@alfredoacuna4387 Ya he visto, ya.... hoy he dormido menos por su culpa...... son una maravilla.

[@willhebert1199]

Ah Peter, this captures your style and spirit so well! I really appreciate your explanation of your sight and thinking process. Wonderful result! A question though - I've lost a juniper to borers that hid in the bark, which is one reason to remove it. Do you do anything special to avoid borers when you leave the old bark on the tree?

[@saruyamabonsai]

Thanks man, appeciate it. Thankfully the only borers we have around here are me and other bonsai geeks. I am the wrong person to ask about that. Ryan would be the person to speak to. I think pheromone traps are an option to know when the borers are about and then you can spray for them, but I am stabbing in the dark.

[@gamer1672]

Beautiful!

[@bafatakisa]

Dear Mr. Waren, as always, a very good report and a sensitive handling of the plant. If I may express a wish, please make a post about Itoigawa juniper, for me the most difficult of its kind to handle. I keep seeing the same health problems in forums and also with my trees. Many Thanks

[@saruyamabonsai]

thanks, will give it some thought

[@hfestion.]

Great video

[@saruyamabonsai]

Thanks!

[@ChristianCalaf]

Thank you.

[@sylvestrisstudios]

An exercise in restraint well flexed.

[@saruyamabonsai]

Thanks for your efforts and input mate

[@Snowfallbonsai]

Will you be doing videos in the future?

[@andersnrregren9087]

"Work on it to much and it stinks of the hand of man" that is what i been think but did not know how to word

[@saruyamabonsai]

That is a literal translation from a Japanese phrase. It is a bit strange in English but it always comes out

[@bonsaihigh]

This tree screams Peter, after the works you can definitely tell it’s more of your style. Great work on it. If there is going to be an update can you do it with a plane background to better catch the ramification?

[@franciscogonzalezrodriguez3710]
