It would be very hard to get such generous knowledge from a much younger man who is still trying to compete with his peers. UA-cam has created an unprecedented opportunity for us to learn from older ladies and gentlemen who are willing to part with their wealth of experience. We are very lucky to have Peter. He could have chosen to hoard his knowledge forever!
Your not like the other bonsai guys that wanna sell you everything and to teaching, that's why your number one in UK.. Your just a great person and that's something you dont find anywhere else!!! Thanks for all you knowledge and for making bonsai a great life time experience!!!
Peter I am forever grateful that you have chosen to share your knowledge with all of us. You are truly a bonsai master and I wouldn't have the level of confidence that I do today if it weren't for your videos. Thank you.
Thank you Mr. Chan. I now realize from this video that you have been practicing bonsai for as long as I have lived. I am 50 years old and have caught the bug. I've watched all of your videos and love them all. Thank you so much for your inspiration! Mark
One of the best feeling you can have is knowing that you have become a vessel of blessing to others. Please dont get tired of sharing to us your knowledge about bonsai. More power to you, Mr. Chan.
What an honour to have learnt of your origin and the steps you took over the years that has lead you to your dream. You are truly a passionate and inspiring mentor. Thank you so much for sharing and i hope to see many many more UA-cam videos...
Please never stop teaching, all of your world wide students would miss listening to your abundant amount of knowledge. I myself have recently purchased one of your older books and always look forward to the next video. I can not thank you enough for all I have learned from you. Thank you again Peter for everything, I truly hope I can come and meet you someday! Bob G
You're so inspirational. Bonsai is something I started for many reasons. To have something grow with me to pass down the generations of my future family. And to grow me as a person, patience and calmness and being zen is a big part of my life now. When I'm with my trees and occupying myself with them its my form of meditation. I love my trees. I need to visit your nursery and hopefully meet you soon
Peter, I consider you a 21st century bonsai equivalent to Bob Ross. Such a well-spoken, calming personality teaching both artistry and life lessons. Like our trees, your UA-cam channel will continue to grow.
It is the first time I'm writing you a comment but I've been watching all of yours videos so many times. I just want to say you a Great Man! There is something magical when you explaining all the tricks and techniques about the bonsai I can watching for hours. Thank you very much for shearing all this with us. We are hungry for more. God bless you! Thank you
You are a real inspiration, Peter. Every video you make is packed full of information, knowledge, tips and history. Your legacy is growing every day and long may it continue to do so. My very best wishes to you sir.
What a wonderful story about your passion. We were privillaged to visit your nursery and you were kind enough to come and talk to us . You even gave two maple seedlings to my brothers grandchildren and they were thrilled. Thank you. Surendra Patel. Maple Ridge, British Columbia
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have a backyard full of trees started from found material thanks to you! Mostly Privet, Azalea, Winged Elm, Red Maple, Eastern Red Cedar, and a few Willow Oaks! We even learned how to make pots and a fountain. Your influence and knowledge is growing here in Arkansas, USA.
Greetings from USA mister Chan, i admire hard work and perseverance, i came across your channel researching bonsai art and methods; i really enjoy watching you work and learning from your vast experience . May you live a long life and thank you for sharing your life's knowledge, your admirer Arturo.
Thank you for understanding that passing this knowledge, helps so many people that are Intrested as beginners. It has helped me so much. Many other people are charging money for what you are teaching all of us beginners, in this art. I never thought I would be so infatuated with bonsai. I do, think all day about my young trees. .
Well said. Everything you said is so true. Good on you. You have lived your dream and achieved your ambition through focus. And by the way you look 20 years younger that your natural age. Keep doing the videos. Cheers again from NZ.
I started my bonsai journey last year. This channel has been a huge help and inspiration for me. I've been thinking for taking up bonsai as a hobby for many years but I had no idea how to do it. I haven't even seen a “real” bonsai in person. This channel has been really helpful. I can't thank you enough.
My name is Tim, I'm from the U.S. I enjoy your videos and they inspire me all the time and I learn a lot. I also greatly appreciate your non ridged style. Thank you!
I began learning the art of Bonsai about 35 years ago when my husband gifted me an olive bonsai that a friend of ours grew. That friend continued to share his knowledge with me through the years until he passed away. Your gift of sharing your knowledge is invaluable to me. You inspire me. I only have 2 bonsai presently but enjoy them so much. I have been able to use your knowledge in other ways in my garden. Please continue teaching and thank you.
Peter, Your videos are excellent and I look forward to watching them. I have learned a lot. I am glad that you get enjoyment from making them. It shows. Thanks.
Yes Sr Mr Chan, you are putting lots of knowledge and ideas on the table for us Bonsai enthusiasts. I can say I am very blessed to learn from you and your videos. I enjoy them more than you can imagine. I would like to tip my hat and thank you very much for your wisdom and knowledge... Thank U! 👏👍
Thx for everything you do on this channel. I've been into bonsai for 6yrs now and I learned so much from you. You're a big inspiration to my craft. Thank You.
Dear Mr. Chan, Thank you for your videos. This year I have gotten into bonsai and have four bonsai trees, one in the mail today, seeds coming, and several cuttings that I have been able to take root. I am really enjoying bonsai and look forward to continue to gain knowledge from your videos. Thank you! :)
Thank you Peter for sharing your work and tips, I like to watch your videos very much and have learned so many useful things about maintaining these trees in the past month! Very nice nursery you got there! Thanks and greetings from Belgium.
I agree... I’m very new to bonsai, niwaki, horticulture, gardening... but it gives me the MOST enjoyment, excitement, gratification, calming/relaxation, etc. out of any hobby I’ve ever done (and continue to still do); and I do many hobbies to an obsessed level. Cooking (30+ years) Cars (on and off for 25 years) Music production/making, music playing, record collecting/listening (20 years) Photography (15 years) Bonsai and plants (only 1.5 years, I just started last year) Bonsai and plants easily has the most enjoyment, excitement, gratification, calming. ✨✨✨
Always great to listen to you Peter, hope we can do the Bristlecones next year, was moving so didn't get to do it this year. I have about 60 trees now so there is always maintenance to do on one of them, I think that is how you get the patience, having only 4 trees would drive me crazy waiting to do something to them. I have 1/2 of them outside my home office window so I get to look at them all day, it's really calming.
Thanks for being you. It’s very obvious that you love bonsai, love sharing your knowledge, and seeing that bonsai is so popular world wide. I for one appreciate your sharing your knowledge with us!!! Thanks Peter
Thank you sir ! I am glad I have found you and your many inspiring and helpful video's! What I value most is we are very much of kindred spirit in this love and passion of bonsai and yes, we really do dream of it and start to see it in our association with plants and trees everyday! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Hi Peter, I have always enjoyed Bonsai but living in a south-facing apartment since 2013 with not balcony has hampered anything bonsai related for me. Your videos are by far the best bonsai videos on UA-cam. You have really opened my eyes to the beauty of the Japanese Maple. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you Adolfo - you can still grow bonsai on. you balcony - that's how I started - if I had not lived in an apartment with a balcony, I may never have got into bonsai. Such is fate!
Thanks - and thanks for mentioning my 'crew'. I wouldn't be able to do these videos without "Bodhi" who is camera operator/ film editor/ office manager and a lot more at Herons!
Watch the comments come now on your legacy to Bonsai, as a pure amateur my journey,love,hobby and passion has been set in place by one true great Gentleman.One of the most humble ,decent and down to earth people to walk this planet who to me comes second to the memory of my late dad.It is my honour to read your books watch your videos and I thank you for helping guide my life.
You are an amazing person, Person. Hearing some of your life story has helped me to answer some of my questions for you. Your videos have helped me to no end and I'm back into bonsai as it always seemed so daunting in the books I found. If I had found your books years ago I could have saved all of my seed grown trees that were over watered while I was away. I have started in again with an Okame cherry blossom tree, Blood Good Japanese Maple and a tiger bark ficus. I have some others growing from seed. Many thanks from Iowa in America.
Hello Peter, I love your energy and enthusiasm, you have great talent and are very generous in sharing your knowledge and skills! Thank you for all you create. I have always gardened and grown from seed and cuttings. I have admired the art of bonsai for many years. At the ripe age of 80 I have decided to learn your art form! Your utube videos are wonderful and give me great confidence and encouragement! I appreciate the way you just get on and tackle, with such fearless gusto the re shaping and potting of all your subjects! Fabulous!! I love your hands on approach and down to earth methods describing how you started and showing basic techniques. I have several plants grown from seed or cuttings but never knew how to create them into bonsai! Hopefully with the help of your channel I feel I should just go for it! Like you say, they will always carry on growing despite the harsh treatment. I couldn’t believe how many plants you made from the honeysuckle!!! I think I am going to try that! I have two young grandsons whom I hope will inherit theBONSAIBUG, Many thanks, regards, Wendy
What a varied and interesting life you have had. Thank you for being here and sharing your knowledge. We surely do appreciate you (and your bonsai knowledge)
Thank you for your personal story. I too dream about bonsai trees! Guess I am hooked. Enjoy your videos very much. I have learned so much from you. I have only been at this for three months, but have always had flower gardens. It was an easy transfer of knowledge. I do know plants and how to keep them happy. My bonsai trees seem to be happy as well. I am 74 and hope to continue my new hobby as long as I can. Thank you for your encouragement.🙋♀️
Peter, in a moments notice, I'd move myself and my wife to the UK to work for you. To listen to your stories would be a dream come true. I hope to one day have my feet in similar shoes. Growing and raising bonsai, kusamono, shitekusa. I won't be content till I've shaken your hand, an formally met you, sir. Very much love from Tennessee, and from the Quigg household
@@peterchan3100 That is fantastic! It is only 9:15am here in Tennessee, but you've made my whole day😊 I'd love to come spend some time with you. You'll be the first to know, when we plan this trip!! I'll talk with you soon. _Quigg
You are a true inspiration Peter , i am loving it every moment with my bonsai. This is everytime a relaxing breakaway from my stressful job. Your calm,caring approach towards plants are applicable for the same reason towards people - im hooked. Thank you for sharing your knowledge all the way to South Africa.
I love this kind of stuff, I have watched a few of your videos and have started to grow some bonsai. I will share how they are coming along. I live in Massachusetts, United States, thank you Heron for sharing this with us much appreciated!
It makes me so sad to hear that you had to leave India for sixty's Indo-Chinese war. But here in India, among bonsai enthusiasts, we have a huge respect and love for you sir. We hope to see you in India again. Lots of love.
Thank you very much for sharing Peter with us your knowledge and experience, from here Argentina, to the other side of the world, I send greetings and congratulations. Your genuine passion transcends borders and distances ... thanks again!
Hi KG - which year were you in RK? Cant remember if. you were there when I was there. My Professors would be turning in their graves if they knew what I do for a living now! Joking only - because I know that dear Prof Sanyal was very proud of me and what I did for living. Whenever I visit Kgp, he used to take me round and tease fellow Professors and students to guess what I did - He used to say that "Peter is in the plant business" to which the others would say " Gas plant? Chemical plant? or Electrical plant?" - to which Prof Sanyal would reply - "No No - plant plant". Do email me when you have time.
I find such peace in the world and life of trees. I have always been fascinated by the deep beauty of these ancient organisms. I have only recently stumbled upon your videos, and I must say, you really open the art of Bonsai to many newcomers like me. The manner in which you explain the process really motivates me. I live in South Africa, and one thing we do have a lot of is trees, beautiful trees. I am grateful to you and the knowledge you share. Kind regards from South Africa.
Thanks Peter, sir I really enjoyed your interview, and I'm a follower of your Utube channel . I have just started my hobby and I am so much into it, I regret being so late, I too could have started earlier, but came to know about bonsai just recently. Your videos really help. God bless.
Nothing is ever too late in life - I learnt to swim when I was 55 and went on to be a swimming teacher. Took up dance at 68 and now very good at that - so its never too late to start anything.
Thank you for generously sharing your knowledge and life philosophy, Peter. I am sure that you have inspired and taught so many! I have learned so much from you in the last 5 days. I am in the NYC area and with the stay-at-home order, I don't want to go to the store to get a plant to make a bonsai....then I saw your forsythia and recycling videos!!! Solutions! I have plenty of forsythia in my backyard and other large trunk plants with so much potential. I also love the air layering video ... I can make more trees from the trees that I love in my backyard! Much love and thank you!!!
I consider every video a masterclass. From you I have gained the confidence to pursue this art when just last year I believed I could only admire others work. I'm a huge fan of miniature and so I think bonsai is here in my life to stay. Your knowledge and wisdom on the practice of bonsai are priceless but you're also an inspiring and motivating person. Interesting life story. I hope I get to 79 with the same vitality or better! haha, Thank you.
The knowledge you have shared has been of much help and is definitely appreciated, I have learned alot more about the art of Bonsai even though I've been interested and involved from a young age. Thank you and once again much appreciated
Many thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. When I watch your videos everything seems much easier and I think even I can get to have a beautiful (many beautiful bonsais!). I wish you all the best. Respectfully,
It would be very hard to get such generous knowledge from a much younger man who is still trying to compete with his peers. UA-cam has created an unprecedented opportunity for us to learn from older ladies and gentlemen who are willing to part with their wealth of experience.
We are very lucky to have Peter. He could have chosen to hoard his knowledge forever!
By giving - you get lots more in return. You get what you sow!
He’s a top guy, haven’t been to his Bonsai nursery 20 sadly,
Peter, you look fantastic at 79. Cheers to your lifetime commitment to bonsai and thank you for passing on your knowledge to the world.
Your passion is contagious. A lot of thanks and respect to you, Peter.
Well said !
Thank you Mr. Chan for your bonsai work, art and learning many people all over the world! Many greetigs from Czech republic.
I can say for certain, you are an icon of the modern day bonsai community, we treasure you.

Chemical plant? or Electrical plant?" - to which Prof Sanyal would reply - "No No - plant plant". Do email me when you have time.
I find such peace in the world and life of trees. I have always been fascinated by the deep beauty of these ancient organisms. I have only recently stumbled upon your videos, and I must say, you really open the art of Bonsai to many newcomers like me. The manner in which you explain the process really motivates me. I live in South Africa, and one thing we do have a lot of is trees, beautiful trees. I am grateful to you and the knowledge you share. Kind regards from South Africa.
Thank you for taking the time to create these videos. Having only started enjoying bonsai recently, they have been a massive help. All the best.
Thanks Peter, sir I really enjoyed your interview, and I'm a follower of your Utube channel . I have just started my hobby and I am so much into it, I regret being so late, I too could have started earlier, but came to know about bonsai just recently. Your videos really help. God bless.
Nothing is ever too late in life - I learnt to swim when I was 55 and went on to be a swimming teacher. Took up dance at 68 and now very good at that - so its never too late to start anything.
@@peterchan3100 Truely. Thanks for the encouragement, sir.
I just love seeing your passion and love for Bonsai
Love all your videos and books,you are a true inspiration to me keep up the great work.
Thank you for generously sharing your knowledge and life philosophy, Peter. I am sure that you have inspired and taught so many! I have learned so much from you in the last 5 days.
I am in the NYC area and with the stay-at-home order, I don't want to go to the store to get a plant to make a bonsai....then I saw your forsythia and recycling videos!!! Solutions! I have plenty of forsythia in my backyard and other large trunk plants with so much potential.
I also love the air layering video ... I can make more trees from the trees that I love in my backyard! Much love and thank you!!!
Keep the knowledge and videos coming! I have 2 of your books and it’s nice to have your videos for reference also. Thank you for all you do!
Keep on keepin' on, Peter! :)
THANK YOU for your wonderful videos Your passion is contagious .I admire and respect you very much. Greetings from Romania
I consider every video a masterclass. From you I have gained the confidence to pursue this art when just last year I believed I could only admire others work. I'm a huge fan of miniature and so I think bonsai is here in my life to stay. Your knowledge and wisdom on the practice of bonsai are priceless but you're also an inspiring and motivating person. Interesting life story. I hope I get to 79 with the same vitality or better! haha, Thank you.
You make me pick up bonsai as a hobby. Very relaxing one as well. Thank you sir.
