Peter, if every video was just you walking around the nursery sharing your joy in growing things, watching them would be time well spent. I love the way you speak to us - not as a master artist, but as a regular person sharing insights into your passion. Each specimen on your nursery has a story - a history - and you know them all intimately. You speak of each with a love and joy that is evident in every word.
Peter you said it all when you said “the love of bonsai is better than the love of money “. I am more at peace when working with my trees than at any other time. Every worry melts into the distance within seconds once I’m among the bonsais
We sure are with you in spirit, and feel the same with you in return, Mr Chan. A love of plants is a very unifying thing, being excited over buds breaking on the maples...we get that. That amazing volcano maple...wow! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, making your wonderful work so accessible and encouraging us in our sometimes very lowly endeavours. Discovering your channel has been such a bonus during this covid crisis, after the summer of fires in Australia, I had lost interest almost totally in my poor, drought and fire damaged garden. Your enthusiasm has helped reignite my passion for plants. I have even discovered I can germinate seeds successfully, now just where to put them in my little plot? I hope to donate a lot to other gardeners who lost the lot during our drought and fires. Because plants are worth more than money to me, too, Mr Chan.
I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your videos. I have spent hours watching them. I really don’t know much about bonsai but it’s so nice to watch you and observe your expertise and all the beauty that you create. thank you!
Wow I just love going on a walk with Peter throw and around the Nursery. For me it’s amazing seeing all the different size and kinds of trees the you have there. Simply amazing.
PETER, what a beautiful nursery you have, i could have spent the rest of the day there talking and looking at your trees, be strong, be safe, and be blessed
Thank you for the beautiful and informed walk. Watched, then watched again with frequent pauses of the video. 80 year old Azalea! Potting tables of cinderblock and board, no metal. Scars or no scars on trunks. Etc. Your labors are done all alone now, my goodness! Double thanks.
Amazing Peter. I check your channel on a daily basis and hope there is a new video uploaded. I can’t wait to see your nursery in person. All the best and stay safe! Greetings from Ireland
I am late today so now I took a nice little virtual walk in the evening. ☺️🌿🍁 The beauty of your nursery didn't change. 😁 I guess if I ever were to visit I would be consumed by the choices! 😅🤔😊
My dream come true would be to live in a greenhouse surrounded with thousands of trees. Just a couch, hotplate and bed... seriously love nature that much...
Thank you for sharing this with us and being so generous with your expertise. I really enjoyed and appreciated your niwaki video, where you pruned your four pines. Your book, 'Creating a Japanese Garden' is invaluable, because it is written by a British person with an acute understanding of oriental gardens and plants.
I absolutely love watching your videos, you give me lots of inspiration to want to make my own bonsai trees of different varieties. I'm definitely a fan of your work.❤
I look forward to your videos so much, like an advent calendar in a difficult time. Thank you for another inspiring walk about your nursery, which looks like a little slice of tree heaven! I also always enjoy the little provenance stories you give for some of the trees.
Hi Mr Chan, Thank you for taking us on a walk with you. I love the maples especially the Trident's. I have a couple that I am growing and can only hope they will eventually have thick trunks like yours. Many many years yet. Take care.
Hi Peter. I tried that idea you had in a video, where you planted trees wrapped around dead trees. For weeks I waited for a dead ficus to re.spout before throwing it in the compost heap. Weeks after that when, I tried your technique after retrieving it from the heap, I noticed a ting green sprout. Potted it up, and it’s really thriving now. So thank you. I
All healthy n strong beautiful bonsai trees, bravo Peter.. sorry to know about theft thing, yet i don't understand how anyone with conscious can enjoy stolen living Art such as bonsai which is pure and beautiful.. can't get enough of the video, until next one and stay safe to all..cheers
I loved seeing all the older bonsai including the Hedgehog. The shapes, textures and varieties fascinate and astound me. Paisano's Roost Southern New Mexico
I love the craziest ones.. they have a history and a story behind them. I felt sad that I heard from you that some people steal. Shame on them.. And thank you for this video.. today's my birthday. Thank you!
It's great to see the nursery thank you. It's along way from Australia and these videos allow me to explore your nursery. Hopefully I will get to see it in person one-day.
the first tree is amazing! I'd love to see it in leaf later on, I bet it's spectacular. Looking forward to (hopefully) see the lemon tree made into bonsai, as well as the landscape decorating video! Loved the maples too, they look so good!
As always, seeing the trees is just such a pleasure and a haven of peace in my youtube feed. But even moreso your thoughts, even though you are most of the times just casually talking, are always teaching and heartwarming. Not just as a bonsai master but as a person you are a great inspiration Peter, thank you :)
Can you please be sure to in September, upon the 2 year mark for having planted the juniper raft forest, make a video of cutting off the root ball and reporting into a proper pot!? Love your channel so much!!
Amo ver seus bonsai o Brasil ama todos os bonsaista do mundo , sem dúvida você é o maior bonsaista do mundo ,Brasil ama a natureza, e os bonsaista um abraço de todos brasileiros 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I think this video is not in chronological order and he already posted this video. I think this is the video you are looking for. ua-cam.com/video/vgwvCtPeYVg/v-deo.html
to hear what you said about loving the plant or the bonsai more than money that says a lot because men worship money. I admire your love and respect for God's creation sir you are an inspiration Jesus loves you I hope you have a blessed day and thank you for sharing!
Bahothe shukria Peter Sahib, aap ka dukaan aur peehar itni sundhar he. I have absolutely loved your bonsai videos Peter. I just started to take an interest in bonsai last October but was unable to find much material until now. Unfortunately with this pandemic all the nurseries are closed here and you can only order them online with curbside pickup. It’s a little too much to ask the poor nursery men to look out for good bonsai material for me! However I did pickup a picea. How fortunate for me that you just posted a video and I wired my first tree yesterday. It’s not finished yet. It’s May 6 and we are forecasted to have snow this weekend! It’s a difficult place to do bonsai but we all try our best. You truly are an inspiration! I’m a second generation Indian from South Africa and I felt so sad that you had to leave India in such a disgraceful way yet you seem to harbor no resentment and you speak of India and your Indian friends with so much fondness! If I survive this pandemic visiting the RCGshow is in my bucket list and now Herons is on it too! So I hope to see you one day soon. Thank you.
peter chan I’m married to a Canadian of French and English ancestry. My first husband(divorced!) was an Indian from Hyderabad. Have visited India a few times and was able to practice my Hindi with rickshawallas and tuk tuk drivers with no embarrassment but still shy to speak to Indians from India. I watched the video where you cut your finger on your secateurs. Please take care, there’s no need to rush as I can assure you that all your viewers are like me and treasure every moment we have with you! I was worried about you. Did you have to get stitches? Take care and no doubt you will see comments from me again. I have watched so many videos in the last seven months that I feel I know you.
I have some issues with maples. Due to our mild winter, some started to break bud quite early. But then they stopped half open and are not moving since then.
Hello peter. i like your videos very much. i am learning many things from you. Do you have liguidamber bonsai. If you have maybe you can show it one day even prune it in video. Healthy days.
“Even though you are not here in person, you are here with me in spirit”. We most certainly are, thank you Peter, keep up the good work!
Peter, if every video was just you walking around the nursery sharing your joy in growing things, watching them would be time well spent.

Please keep making vids. Just walk about, rambling on...it's great viewing for bonsai enthusiasts. You are helping us through lockdown! Respect :)
I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your videos. I have spent hours watching them. I really don’t know much about bonsai but it’s so nice to watch you and observe your expertise and all the beauty that you create. thank you!
Wow I just love going on a walk with Peter throw and around the Nursery. For me it’s amazing seeing all the different size and kinds of trees the you have there. Simply amazing.
That was wonderful! It must smell so nice in the greenhouses when the trees are all budding and leafing. Amazing trees you have!
I always like the relaxing tweety birds at the start, then the background noise, wind or large machinery,
Then Peter
Thank you, for so many Beautiful, Amazing, Fascinating, Artistic Living Sculptures!!! IMHO: Each one, is a World of it's own!!.... Incredible!!!!!!
I'd love to watch making bonsai from lemon tree ❤️
You are so awesome peter thank you for everything
It's a pleasure to watch your trees in every season. Beautiful tour
PETER, what a beautiful nursery you have, i could have spent the rest of the day there talking and looking at your trees, be strong, be safe, and be blessed
Love it when you just walk through your gardens 😋
Peter,
These videos are all so lovely. They bring much needed peace in a troubled time. Stay safe and healthy.
Thank you Peter always a pleasure to see you'r bonsai

It always good to watch your work. Thank you Peter.
I always love a tour and walk around your grounds! Thank you Peter!
Heaven on earth. Thanks Peter
Wonderful! Looking forward to the artistic landscape video :)
I find that first maple to be an amazingly evocative shape, very reminiscent of a fantasy setting
Enjoyable walk around, THANKS Peter.
beautiful trees as always, im interested to see how the elephant's foot/volcano tree will look when it has foliage
I love that maple! It's so unique!
Looking forward to the landscaping video!
They dont seem to be popular as videos, so I have not done any although I do a lot of landscaping jobs
Thankyou Peter, enjoyed the walk.👍😁
The new format in the credits is great

Peter, Just beautiful, thanks for the tour.
Fantastic! Stealing bonsai- who would've thunk it? "Peter Chan Twin Trunk Style"- sounds trademarked! Thank you for the tour!
Hello Mr. Chan, and thank you so much for these tours. I wish I could find a place like this in the USA.
Theres so much to see in your walks around the nursery. Yes we are with you in spirit Peter. Keep safe.

Thank you Jyothi - what is the origin of your surname may I ask? Your Hindi is good I must say.

@@jyothilavigne2263 - Do keep in touch and its nice to have friends like you via my UA-cam videos. I have grown to know so many just in the past year.
How much would you charge for a beauty like the one in the beginning of the video. I love stump bonsai ❤
I would pay money just to walk through and look at all the trees.
A lot of bonsai trees.
i love the tour. i want to create a nursery. nut i would get so confused as to when thing need to be done..
OH THAT'S AN ALARM! I thought that was your phone going off every five seconds with customers with trees in need of emergency pruning :D
I believe you have some good people working for you sir
All our staff have a passion for their work - we are a great team. Mind you - we have had some bad apples before.
Atleast those apples didnt ruin the bushel.
@@matthewpicklesimer293 - They rot and fall off the Tree - that is nature's way!
All this time I've thought it was the phone ringing 🙂
You do some amazing work and I have been wondering if you have any videos on how to work with a Punus incisa 'Kojo-No-Mai'
There is a video on precisely that topic
Mantab
Fantastic Peter, so interesting. May I ask, when is the best time to take juniper cuttings is? All of my attempts have died
Any time is fine but Spring is usually better.
Can you please do a video on dawn/coast redwoods?
i would love to know how you put your benches together.
I would plant another maple inside the hollowing
I have some issues with maples. Due to our mild winter, some started to break bud quite early. But then they stopped half open and are not moving since then.
Would love to visit there and get some advice and see all them bonsai unfortunately it’s a long travel
Hello peter. i like your videos very much. i am learning many things from you. Do you have liguidamber bonsai. If you have maybe you can show it one day even prune it in video. Healthy days.
I had several but have only one left. Nothing special about them except that they are not as prolific and easy as the Japanese maples to grow.
Again i learned something thank you :)
1:23 it looks like Cthulhu a monster from the deep
I see a dragon, with two horns, two eyes, two claws and a snout. Hahaha.
please film the proces of turning that lemon tree into a bonsai
I guess this is from February, plz show us latest update
🥰
Elephant's foot or hippopotamus lol
