It is not stupid to be imaginative, practical, thrifty, creative and innovative

[@markpozsar5785]

Yeah it's not. Those are different words with different meaning.

[@joshhhuagarcia1890]

Hi Peter. These projects with discarded material are the ones I like to see you do the most.

[@8bitkame]

Yeah me too

[@holyek7892]

I love how Peter explains. He might be talking about bonsai, but I use his advice to life and personal development.

[@karigranger3120]

No one thinks you are stupid!! You're a master.Thank you for sharing your beautiful creations.

[@kurtkampmeier]

We don't think you are stupid at all Peter. You are an amazing wealth of knowledge, an absolute legend.

[@KD9ZHF]

He is AMAZING. 😊

[@spirits33k3r]

For you it is not a job; it is a passion. Thank you for doing these videos. They are both informational and enjoyable!

[@jamesbeitia1353]

Stupid, are you kidding, you're a wealth of knowledge. I wish I had a dad like you to tutor me and to hand down that knowledge so I can hand it down to my children. I always look forward to see what your next video is about. Thank you so much for making these videos, I love watching them ! I've learned a lot. I knew nothing about bonsai, now I'm always looking out for potential bonsai. Thank you!!!

[@DarylAW]

Again the Master showing what can be accomplished with near impossible material. Thank you Peter.

[@BennyBigIron]

The eyes of a master truly do see all potential.

[@BlueSkyBonsai]

Great work! I expect most of us would "give our right arm" for a turtle back like that! 😁

[@murray821]

And if you help Peter while he cuts the plastic off, you would certainly lose an arm 😅

[@dragoniraflameblade]

It's really satisfying watching you do the "boring stuff" to me. Thank you for showing us how to look for and tackle a challenge!

[@265petsar]

Great Peter you inspire everyone in the art of Bonsai as a true master should, thank you.

[@Big_Fan_just_generally]

I think the most fascinating bonsai are the ones that would have been regarded as useless but were discovered and helped to fulfill their potential by someone who saw the potential in them! Commercial trees with standard forms you see everywhere.

[@PrairieDancerRose]

Yet U must keep your 'Turtle" back Maple, to see how it grows for you.in the next two or four years. Very interesting, and I'm sure many of your watchers [fans] would agree to watching this mature right along. I would also like to thank you for the wealth of information of facts regarding Bonsai, and gardening practices. Again, thank-you!

[@hulz]

Seeing potential in ugly trees is one of the nicest aspects of my bonsai hobby. Thanks Peter!!

[@paulagoller7893]

The title for your next book should be “The Genius of Peter Chen.” You never fail to amaze me with your use of raw materials. Love turtle backs!🙋‍♀️

[@waterlover]

I like how you always teach people to challenge your self

[@paullill5604]

Sunday breakfast time. What a great upload I can’t wait to see the progress

[@richardlynch8009]

I cry from laughter and memory when I watch your videos. My mother pruned trees like you. She cut before I could get "nooo!" Out of my mouth. Yes. You are not as stupid as people might think you are. You inspire me.

[@AzaJabar]

Peter you have inspired me to do bonsai with local trees and try to use the knowledge I gather here and implement it on them, thank you and you are wonderful.

[@thetracksidemodeler8573]

I learn something valuable here every time I watch. Thanks Peter!

[@cmtf0516]

Just want to add how much I appreciate the effort you go through for us youtubers. Thank you for sharing

[@tomthekek]

Excited to see what it will look like in a few years

[@MrChausner]

Totally new every time, better than TV

[@amandaleeborchert3745]

I wish I had your go-getter spirit! 🥊🥊🥊 There's no challenge you don't back down from. You've got more talent and knowledge in your little finger....than a whole room of so-called specialists. 👨‍🌾👨‍🌾👨‍🌾Can't wait to see what these look like in a year! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talents!🐞🐞🐞

[@peterchan3100]

Thank you for your kind comments

[@JungleScene]

I'm glad you're keeping this, I'm excited to watch its growth! Please give us updates once in awhile!

[@acheronexile]

I love how fast the master makes his choices.

[@andrei-silviusontu9911]

Never boring. Thank you very much for putting the time into these videos!

[@itsjonathanwade]

When your staff is trying to stay warm but the boss keeps taking the wood out of the fire ;) Just found this channel yesterday and I've watched about 20 videos. Thanks for the knowledge and inspiration.

[@peterchan3100]

Ha Ha - too true !

[@izabelaedmunds9746]

Looove every detail, please do not cut videos short, I want to see everything, nothing is too boring. 😍😍😍

[@shannonacuna5627]

NOT boring at all! Thanks for the share, can't wait to follow!!

[@angie3504]

Certainly following this one. Please post this tree 🌲 progress in a year….😬

[@IlkkaVuoristo]

It's not boring when it's informative... You're always informative.

[@katrussell6819]

Remarkable. You are amazing, Peter.

[@eveturner1260]

Absolutely loved it, thank you for explaining turtle back. You are an inspiration. Thank you.

[@nickfletcher4132]

Thank you Peter. Just shows you can use virtually any material.

[@kylek3719]

Your passion is contagious.

[@samanthagruwell8994]

Beautiful! Nothing you teach is boring, Peter. I know now to save those from the burn pile!

[@newzealandgreen9299]

A new term for the repour tore (turtle back) and cant wait to achieve this, Thank You Peter

[@trackqueen42]

I love his attitude and I will definitely be looking into starting my own bonsai...or a few of them since it looks like it will take some time and experience to get the hang of it! Anything can be turned into Bonsai, nothing wasted. Great lessons to pass on!

[@deMANvannederland]

Thank you, Peter. Videos like this are so inspiring! Much more "feasible" to us mortals than the five-figure bonsai trees other bonsai artists work on..

[@peterchan3100]

I have plenty five figure trees here at Herons - we sell lots of them.

[@raurtom]

Peter, I honestly can't thank you enough for the content you provide. I love your videos and the inspiration you provide. The philosophy you inadvertently show is one that is really changing the way I think of the future in my life. Just thanks so much.

[@peterchan3100]

Thats great to know and good luck in your life's journey

[@mnilsson2704]

It is such a pleasure to watch your videos.

[@dbe2705]

Another lesson for FREE, thanks Peter 🌹🤗🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 love your work

[@carlosrojosalguero1018]

Mr Peter Chan, you’re a genius!!

[@mchlbk]

I love these crazy weird projects where there's real room for creativity.

[@Coach_Meyer90]

Peter is the Bob Ross of bonsai :)

[@audryscraftingchannel3597]

I absolutely delight in finding subjects like these. I'm glad to see others do too💙☕

[@mikealmere70]

Another great learning video Peter, thank you!!

[@tamaraschaeffer971]

This is the most interesting thing I watch on Utube !!Really fascinating. My Japanese Maples thank you!!!

[@danutashayler34]

Your so excited it feels like 'fun', yet I will say your passionate about your ability to spot the nugget and give it a new life. I admire your stamina and continued health. Best wishes.

[@dermo1981]

Thanks Peter. I really enjoy watching your videos. A period of tranquility in a sometimes crazy rat race! Hope you're keeping well. Take care. DR.

[@lizlapre1512]

Peter, you are like a child in a toy store just before Christmas! I love your enthusiasm and it gives me so many new ideas. Thank you for all that you do!

[@PrairieDancerRose]

That Maple wanted to be rescued. That is why it was growing branches so long, waving then in the breeze, hoping to catch the eye of an artist of the plant variety. So when the waving branches brought someone {U} near, it's lovely Turtle Back Nebari would be noticed, and it would have itself saved! {pardon my imagination, it does run off at times} yet it is how I see it.

[@Teresa-ih4sn]

Excellent way of describing this! U have a wonderful imagination!

[@PolinaS-gq1te]

That spiral root is absolutely beautiful! So grafical!

[@stevemurray6543]

Very interesting, informative and entertaining. Thank you so much for letting us be at your elbow to watch and learn and above all enthralled.

[@rickmb6961]

Oh, no Peter, I don’t think “stupid” when I watch your videos and I watched every minute through to the end as well

[@klarapetelei702]

Dear Mr. Chan, nobody thinks you are stupid. Yo are areal and rear gem for us. I thank to you that I am becoming a bonsai fan.

[@twogunshogun]

Thank you Sir, Nothing is boring!

[@markgaskell5370]

True artists, like Peter, just see the world differently. Amazing.

[@seangriffiths9163]

Thanks for your time. This was a great video 👍

[@voodooskratch]

🌲 LOVE 2 SEE THE OUTCOME PETE 🌳👍

[@bryandavis3784]

Definitely NOT boring. Thank you.

[@Teresa-ih4sn]

Sir Peter u have inspired SO many. Reading the comments it makes me so happy to see how your videos that u think are boring or whatever u may call it, are helping people to get out and do their own thing with bonsai! I think you would truly be amazed if people would send photos of what u helped them create! With love from Wisconsin, USA❤

[@sandraheilig8984]

Everything IS interesting! Love to see you in Progress :)

[@jotaroslegs2345]

Yes, you are my Master Bonsai teacher. I am so glad I found you. I am trying to Bonsai a Chinese Wisteria. I want to try to make some others too.

[@Robert_McGarry_Poems]

I like listening to your train of thought. You are a well spoken thinker. That makes every moment well worth it.

[@denisemiller1461]

This is my favorite of Mr. Chan's videos so far!

[@Ukeitupmike]

so amazing, Peter. You are always an inspiration

[@fredgrech1498]

You’re amazing

[@mame6508]

Very interesting. In Bonsai ugly means beautiful. Thank you Peter.

[@kathybradbury]

Lol...I can just picture you out in the yard, seeing the landscapers busy adding things to the fire...”NO! Nooooo!”..🤣

[@jamesfloyd6803]

I enjoy all of you videos.

[@joyouschanel]

Who dare to said Peter is stupid? 😂 And I like your idea, no waste, everything can be use. 👍🏻

[@clwest3538]

Wow ... I love the fused trunks - almost a natural braid with 3 trunks .... and the 'turtle backs' are certainly fascinating the way they grow ... Another great video - thank you!

[@Ukreefside]

I look forward to visiting your nursery on the 21st of June (my birthday). I’ll be there about 11am would be great to say hi and thank you for all the content . I managed to find a copy of bonsai masterclass. I’ll be reading that on my time off. Enjoy the sunshine Peter.

[@peterchan3100]

Our Nursery has been open to the public since 12 April - no need to wait till 21 June.

Thanks Peter, you are the best!!!!

[@margaretsims4344]

I love the way you find the potential bonsai beauty in the almost impossible trees. This is going to be such an interesting project Peter. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge.

[@imeldasangma4358]

You're a genuine Master of Bonsai. Thank you so much for teaching us so many things. Can you show tricks and tips on tropical trees, Peter?

[@peterchan3100]

I wish I could but I don't have many tropicals here. I only have Ficus retusa

[@imeldasangma4358]

@@peterchan3100 it's ok. How about styling a small azalea tree,styling it ,pruning it. Then keep on updating it. Whenever I trim azalea the branches just die ,No new buds . I know you can do it. Thanks.

[@andygrontkowski517]

never boring... EVER!

[@yoopermann7942]

PETER, your not stupid at all, i think your a GENIUS!!! i try to save every plant i can,, every thing from vines to flowers to shrubs/bushes to trees,, you would be impressed by what i have saved over the past,,, in my mind you sir a genius,, thank you for sharing how to do this

[@lorellstoneman74]

Such an amazing will to live...lifes lessons...thank you for sharing. That tree is an even more amazing, and interesting turtle back because it is more turtle back than tree. Thank you for seeing its true potential.

[@theflyingcrud]

These videos are fantastic. Thanks to you, I just started a cedar and a maple from saplings along the foundation of my house. The maple has a very beautiful natural spiral to the base of the trunk, looks promising!

[@bcfran3g844]

This was a great education of turtle back.

[@christophebeaudenon1261]

Thanks from France for this video as all the other you made. Who can think you are stupid. Your vision of bonsaï is totally open on the nature and imagination. I am a beginner in bonsaï (I have more young tree than bonsaï yet) at 44 years old, but every time I see a herons bonsaï video , I tell to me, do what you want with your tree. We have to respect some bonsaï rules but not to be closed in it. Thanks for all Peter and I hope to meet you once.😉☺️

[@MidniteSan]

Turtle back nebari sure takes a long time to develop 😭, don't have any in my collection just yet 😁. Thx for sharing Peter. Next one please 👍 .

You are an absolute treasure. Thank you so much for these wonderful videos

[@sahabshraddha8453]

It's true 🥰 nothing is boring in Ur vid!!! Root is quite interesting. From these roots cutting uu make sevaral 🌱 bonsai's 🌵❤️ great 👍

[@VedranLerenc]

I watched many other videos of yours today and also this Mr Chan. Thanks for showing us and emphasising that plants just want to live and grow under almost all conditions. One kills them rather with too much care, but if you let them be, they grow. Propagation on a budget as well with air layering, ground layering, seedlings in the ground, cuttings, root cuttings, just everything can make a new plant. Nothing of that snobby stuff you see elsewhere with the "bonsai master" with his 30K EUR sheers in a leather case, but how you can do beautiful trees as common folk.

[@wildboystv3013]

You dont know what's possible till you know what's possible

[@BidhanNayak]

Wow! Keep up the great work. Thank you.

[@alicer3423]

The turtle back is a very interesting look. I really like it Mr. Chan. You are not stupid!! You have a very artistic mind. I love your work.

[@gabewashburn5756]

Absolutely fantastic Peter. Wonderful as usual

[@murray821]

That root base is a rough gem, no doubt it will become a amazing tree!

You are amazing Peter thank you for sharing all your knowledge

Those are going to be some amazing trees. Thanks Peter.
