6 years ago I first watched a Herons Bonsai video, now I have 15-20 thriving bonsai trees and I’m always learning how to take care of bonsai trees from your videos.
The only problem is, I don’t have any bonsai clubs nearby because I live in the middle of nowhere and my village has a population of 20
@@There_is_a_duck_in_my_home - This is the digital age - Bonsai clubs ???
@@peterchan3100 Online bonsai clubs are the future of bonsai
Wow thats great! I also got from the Herons Bonsai that Bonsai is very interesting hobby, you just need not 1 but quite amount of trees.
You don’t know how many trees you have?
Another place in Peter’s Bonsai Estate that I’ve never seen!
This is the best bonsai video on how to begin a bonsai hobby!! So thankful!!
Im a new comer to bonsai, but I’ve always been really interested. The only way you could be a better teacher, is if we had the ability to watch you in person lol
Actually, Mr. Chan does teach classes at Herons Bonsai. You can watch videos on this channel on it. I'm not sure if he still teaches during the covid though...
Me too. I have a list of trees I have spotted for cuttings, and a dozen black currant cuttings started. Gonna make some clumps.
check out Bonsai Mirai and their Mirai Live program. You'll learn a lot of the technical aspects of bonsai that Peter doesn't touch on that much, such as the chemistry and biology of bonsai during various seasons, and what physically happens to organism when we make changes
@@jeef16 Good advice. Also: my currants have green showing on more than half their buds. It is just a matter of waiting for roots now.
@@jeef16 Bonsai Mirai lectures are great for advanced bonsai enthusiasts. They may be quite daunting for beginners, not because they are difficult but because they are very in depth. Like university level studies when one is just in primary school.
Just bought a yew beginner's set from your website - looking forward to caring for it for as many years as possible!
That's a bargain for such healthy tree and pot 😘, thx for sharing Peter 👍.
I’m a bit jealous we can’t get the kits in the EU but postage too expensive at the moment
Unbelievable how you perform Master Chan... I have got all kinds of trees 🌳 and still going making them Bonsai! I just recently got two Mexican sycamores and three Japanese Red Maples and a Mimosa.... I can’t wait to train them when the shouts come out and I have wild Chinese privets growing in the field behind my house😉 I can’t wait till my bougainvillea grow up either!!!! your the best Bonsai Master of all time!
Peter I bought my very first bonsai from you which just arrived today! Very quick delivery and the bonsai is in such a great condition 👏 it's tiny but absolute perfection 🥰 it shows how much care you put on every little one, I'm so happy I can't stop looking at it! 😂 I'm just scared I won't care of it properly as I'm not the best with plants but hopefully I'll learn, many of your videos have already helped, thank you!! 😊 I wish one day to visit your nursery!!
I would like to say that I genuinely appreciate and enjoy the sincerity that you use when you present these videos. Your passion for bonsai shows with every detail, and I'm so glad you're willing to share your knowledge with the rest of us! And I really appreciate you making the art so approachable. Thank you for your work!
18:58 this is why I watch the entire video without skipping. Thank-you mr. Chan for sharing your priceless bonsai knowledge and for your words of wisdom!
Hello Peter.
Thank you for this lesson. I live in the U. S. At Christmas time Alberta spruces
are sold in pots as mini Christmas trees. Having purchased one, I’m looking forward
to your lesson that tree. Bart
This man is such a high quality individual
I always love bonsaï tree and now i found my teacher Who is patient, use simple Word to explain, make the bonsaï art understandable. Thanks m. Chan. Hello from Québec 🇨🇦.
I admire the way You present Your lifeline in the bonsai manner. Thank You and, greetings from Poland.
Thank you very much for bringing this video to us bonzai neophytes. I am starting to have interested in Bonzai making.
I just started my bonsai adventure . Thank you Peter
What an encouraging video.
I’ve got a few DIY kits from Peter and I am looking forward to starting to learn as I go along from an expert!
This video is right on time. I found a Norfolk Island Pine yesterday amongst the bonsai trees, oddly enough, at my local nursery. I've watched several of your videos, months ago, which gave me the idea to attempt a project with the NIP today. Let's just say, I now understand why most bonsai enthusiasts said it's not ideal material to work with. I'm definitely going to be making more, and will be looking at your diy sets.
Thank you Mr Peter for sharing your vast knowledge, has been an inspiration to get me started in the world of bonsai.
Thanks for these vidoes Peter. Really enjoy them and learnt huge amounts.
You sir are a gift. Thank you
Thanks Peter, I’m trying a collected Boxwood ground layering for my first attempt at bonsai.
Thanks again for your inspiration.
I absolutely love these videos! During the last couple of days, I gathered about 20 yews (among other trees) I found in my garden and potted them up, and just the day after I finish with that, Herons Bonsai uploads a video on how to make yews into bonsai! (My yews are all only 1 to 2 years old, so it will take some time before I can really work on them)
Sadly, I don't live in the UK, otherwise I would have visited your Bonsai nursery long ago and bought some equipment and trees. These videos have inspired me to do bonsai like nothing else. In any way, I will eventually buy something from there just to support the nursery a little, hopefully Brexit will soon be sorted out without making it too difficult to ship goods across the EU borders
More content from the greatest teacher of all time. 🐐 Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and experience with the world. 🇨🇦
I missed my vocation - should have been a teacher.
excellent tutorial, thank you mr. peter chan..you´re the best..
Gonna be buying loads of these 😃 can’t wait for the rest of your projects 💪inspirational as always, thank you 🙏 your the man 😎
I was about to order some pots from your shop, but at least I got your videos! Sweet lil' bonsai!
I have admired your work since the 1980s. You created a great life's work and are still a role model and inspiration for me to this day. Many Thanks.
Thank Yew Peter!! 🙏
😅😅👉 Right on!!
Nice one !
This was great! Thank you for the wisdom
Thank you Peter 🇦🇺🦘
I like this video because it has automatic subtitles, so I understand what you're talking about
I fans from Indonesia🇮🇩
love these video's,... bought one of your books many many years ago and its now so nice to see u doing this in front of me! long live UA-cam.... all together it made want to pickup the art of bonsai again. Thank you for your lessons and effort into it.
I really enjoy your video's and it made me pick up Bonsai again last year during lockdown. I now have a small collection of diy trees which still seem to live after the cold last month, thanks to your video's.
Geat video. I love the yews that I have. One tree and a branch that got broken off and then I have about a dozen cuttings of differents sizes and thicknesses.
Newbie to the channel - very much enjoying your style of teaching and demeanour. It's very kind of you to share your experience freely like this. Sorry to hear there about Brexit export issues!
wonderful tutorial Thank you Mr Chan.
Looove your channel, just bougt a lot of things, getting startes, thanks
Another late night for Peter keeping us entertained.
Thanks for the upload.
Stay well
Stay safe
What a wonderful teacher you are, thank you very much.
Thank you, Peter!
It's true, you should've been a teacher! Thanks for this very basic lesson, which really makes the art of bonsai accessible. I'm only sorry I can't support your company because I live in the US, but I definitely will try to find a similar kit here and try it for myself.
I have always been impressed by the art of bonsai. The idea of growing a miniature tree unlike any other is a special kind of art in my opinion and your videos gave me the courage to try this out myself.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! :)
Thank you! I really like your videos. So inspirational!
I have always seen bonsai as something hard och complicated, which it probably is sometimes, but your videos Peter is presenting an accessible and affordable way to start. Thank you for that! Now I want to go hunt for potential bonsai everywhere 🙏🏼
It’s a delight watching your videos! Magical environment, great learning and wonderful you!
I would love to order a kit once you can ship to the Netherlands again, i'll have to be a bit patient until then.
I just started mid December, but in the meantime i've collected a few small Alberta spruce that people put next to the dumpter after Christmas, which are such great practice.
Planning to dig up and pot a rogue butterfly bush this spring, that has gained a nice thick trunk and tree like base over the last 3-4 years. I already dug up and potted a very young butterfly bush, only about 15cm tall, and even though it's not much it looks lovely in its small pot.
Also found some lovely young Buxus like bushes growing rogue on a parking lot, and some other woody little plants on my walks recently. I'm turning everything i can find into Bonsai, or atleast throwing a bunch of different species and cuttings into pots and seeing what sticks. My success rate at the moments is surprisingly high, but i don't expect that to last hahaha.
Good luck - keep it up.
Wonderful video ... now get going! Fun and rewarding hobby. Amaze others with simple talent...learn and grow. He is a master and great at these videos. Great stuff!
Nice late winter view! Thanks for sharing all the times your easy and guides videos! Never change, I enjoy see your videos here in Barcelona!!
Nice to see a ‘back to basics’ video. Can’t wait for the next one Peter 😬
Thanks Peter.
This would food , thank you as always for your wisdom.
Thank you for another lesson! Looking forward for an episode with juniper sprouts! We have a lot of those out in the forest and in the local nursery as well.
We love the yous too
Tão simples, muito bom, se todos os que sabem ensinarem assim, existia muitas mais a aprenderem esta arte tão bonita. Eu tenho aprendido muito com o mestre Pedro Pereira
I love this guy
Nice bonsai
These are a great deal. Although all my space is filled with pots of seedling already !
Marvelous
A complex task made so easy
Please do vedio on slow release pellet fertilizers
beautiful bonsai plant 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻😉😉
I really enjoy your video,
je regarde depuis la france et j'attend avec impatience que les exportations reprennent
j'ai très envie d'un podocarpus fait par "heron bonsai"
I wish you could ship to the US..... your videos has inspired to start my hand with Bonsai
BANZAI Peter
I hope you never leave us.
Thank you from italy
Realy good price. I'm so sorry because of the brexit and that you don't ship outside UK. Not only because of the price, much more in cause of those healthy plants.
I’m trying to start growing my first bonsai trees I bought a reduced price Chinese elm bonsai tree that was dry I tried saving that but I think it’s gone it had black rotted roots but some of the roots still looked healthy so I removed what looked rotten and repotted it in bonsai compost but the leaves are still dry weeks later I have seeds that I haven’t started yet but my healthiest looking trees I have so far have been small saplings that I pulled straight out the ground not expecting them to survive and they are thriving very healthy looking leaves on them and they were free but I don’t have a clue what kind of tree species they are and some of the leaves look pretty big 😅 but they are good to practice on and free
U love this work so so so much
I courage u and ur work 🙏🏼🌱🍀🌾🍁🏯🎋🎍🎑
Thanks! ❤❤❤
Thanks for the video. Would be nice if you spent some time with branches and how to bend them to make tree more aesthetically appealing...
I am fortunate to live where there is lots of new home construction. I have found that electricians dump short pieces of coper wire. I just dumpster dive for the scraps and remove plastic covering and now I have more wire than I can use.
cutting roots, bare root and pedantic rootwork is THE most exciting an best part of bonsai ever in my opinion :D watching people doing rootwork is also sooooo satisfying, it's like bonsai porn :D thats how different people in the same hobby can be :P thats one of the very few things i can't understand about your philosophy of bonsai, how can't you like it :D
I love the spirit of your videos, can you tell me the name of the tree from the first work?
much love
Heron videos are very informative. Does anyone know if a bonsai can be made from a confetti fern
Sir,how long do we need to wire it...coz I have damaged the branch and the stem ..may be because I ve kept it for longer time.
words of wisdom I'll take with me today are:"I can take it up the trunk, let me take it up the trunk"
Eventually do I take the wires off the tree or do they stay on?
Wished that u are in singapore doing this projects.
Peter can you do a project with beech hedging. you can buy 10 year old bare root beech plants for a few euro. So you can start with a tree with a thickish trunc.
Why dont you do it? Start your own UA-cam career and show us your way :D
@@StefanSte because I am a novice and need to learn
ua-cam.com/video/BfYY9YjKxAY/v-deo.html
I have noticed you use inch and feet, where did you learn it? I thoughut the USA was the only country using feet.
I have chamaeciparis lawsoniana (false cypress) for 3 years and it grows too tall for my windowsill ( 51 cm tall). I care for it and love it very much, but it becomes too tall. Can I make it into bonsai to prevent the growth? it does not have a single bark, but 3 separate
My first tree was a Japanese yew!
Peter ...what is the model number of the Falco sequiturs you use with the wire cutting notch?
Gutted you have sold out already! Can you let me know when they are available again please? Thanks!
Sorry.... Just found them.....ordered 8 for my family to do as a "lock down project" Thanks!
Sadly the shipping issue isn't a "small teething problem", the movement of vegetation in soil from a 3rd country has been heavily restricted for many years.
Many European suppliers have withdrawn any shipping to the UK, which has already effected my local nursery.
Good luck with the future with European customers.
I don't think this affects Ireland too much which is the main english speaking EU country.
Honestly, there is little biological issue with this in terms of soil or disease. It's just politics.
Hi
I have tried to order the kit by clicking on the link but I get an error or ported to the "join the newsletter" site, Is there still a possibility to order this kits? and also since I live in Sweden is it possible to chip to Sweden now?
So cute I wish I could get a Bonsai kit but I live in the United States
I'm sure one of the USA bonsai nurseries can help you out. When I travelled to Philadelphia on business regularly, I would buy pots and wire because they were so much cheaper than in the UK.
Just look around - I am sure you can find them in the US
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a place to buy inexpensive plastic bonsai pots? I am in western Canada. Thank you
Man I wish I lived in the UK right now 😪😔
But all is well I'll try go to nearest nursery for trees
Although I like looking over your shoulder, this view is much better! Maybe have the camera at the same level as the tree, not below the level of the tree but that doesn’t matter
Peter uses freedom units!
I wish I could purchase these kits
Where can I find the Alberta Spruce tutorial?
That is a bargain. Too bad you don't deliver to EU anymore. Any update on that?
👌❤
That is a bargain a typical tree or shrub in my local nursery about the same size as you have on the table could be anything between £8 to £15
Im trying to make a bonsai out of my lavender and rosemary but older branches are too brittle and breaks while wireing. Can you tell something about guy wires in the future?
If I can remember to do it - I will.
Is it a bad idea to use iron plant wire for the small branches? Is the rust damaging the tree?
Not at all. Iron wire more difficult to use but OK. In China, most of the small commercial bonsai are wired with iron wire.
I will just add that the thicknesses will be very different
Thank You Peter!
used small wire for small branches, that green garden wire, it’s about 1 mm or perhaps 0.8mm I do see some rust on the branches though. For thicker wire I have 2 mm aluminum.
14:43 I know I'm a juvenile for laughing XD
