Gotta love the way this guy talks, and the phrases he uses!
I could watch this all day!
Aussie Aussie Aussie GDAY MATE from brisbane Australia you are so humbling too sharing your knowledge and tips, to more than half million people for FREE. We the people THANK YOU MR PETER CHANN. Ernie smith from brisbane Australia
Central coast NSW,🍻😊
Melbourne 😊
Good luck today lads 🏉 🇦🇺 🇫🇯
Columbus, Georgia USA, hello Aussie peeps. 🍻
@ianpeck2719 Hello, from perth Western Australia
I allways though making bonsai is a super specific and percise procedure, but after watching this channel for a while now, I realized its all about feeling and trying out
And start another bonsai every couple months, as you learn more! Plus it helps with being impatient & wanting to trim & wire too often!
@@TheRyhollI’ve got about 15 in different stages of growth. All young less than 10/15 years but getting there
Love your comments on the growing process. Wish I would have started my interest long ago, probably won't see my finished products at my age. lol
„Look at that thick trunk“ *slaps twice*
You are absolutely right, patience is the key, and knowing the plant's characteristics. You gave us gentle advice while drastically chopping the yew. Thank you, Mr. Chan!
The bicycle story is excellent! Thanks
Being relatively new to Bonsai Peter is correct. I recently bought a Kingsville Boxwood in a nursery pot. After spending hundreds on a tree that is about 8” tall I immediately trimmed away half of the branches to expose a great trunk. The reaction in my family was “WHAT, ARE YOU CRAZY!”. LOL
Peter, thanks for yet another useful bonsai lesson ! I continue to learn from your insight and it is greatly appreciated. You have a very unique teaching style unlike anyone else on You Tube. Please keep it up, thanks again …
Good morning! Another lovely Sunday in Florida, spending time with you and Peter!🤩😊👏👏👏☕️
"A bit of patience"... I totally agree with you mr. Chan, especially with these yews! However, planted in a big pot or in the soil of your garden, on a shaded spot and left alone, you will get a thick trunk in only a few years. You even might fertilize it a bit but that's not really necessary. Spread digging up over two seasons. I can confirm all that because of my own experience. After cutting back heavily, like mr Chan does, leave it in the soil or pot for another one or two years at least. And indeed, then you can start selecting and wiring branches and making a beatiful and valuable bonsaï.
This is another lesson for yew 😂 love to see chooper chan in his natural habitat. Love it!
Looking forward to seeing how these turn out in a year. Thank you for teaching this!
So many trees, what a fun day it must have been for itchy fingers 😊. Thx for sharing Peter 👍
THICC trunks, we love them, lol
Thank you for sharing...You gave me a good idea...I have several local spruce trees in pots that have grown for a few years , Now 4 ft. tall...I need to either plant or cut back for bonsia.
Love your stile, Peter! :) Your funny introduction about becoming fat was especially delightful. Even my wife likes your jests.
Anyway I started my own bonsai garden because of the your influence which I am thankful for to God.
I just started mimicking whatever I saw you doing, and guess what? It worked! ❤
Thats really nice to know
Thank you Peter for this video, I have a very large trunk yew I bought on discount from the nursery because it wasn't doing well, looks much better now, I need to chop the top and see if I get more lower branching.
I was up there the other day & I almost bought that bigger leaning yew, but chose a thicker trunked yew that I found.
Thank you, Peter, for sharing your knowledge..
Thanks! Love your videos!😊
OMG....those planes. What a racket. I could not live there.
Hahaha but Mr. Chan I'm also after a fat trunk xD
Thanks!
that's the real deal
as i think im starting to "get it" i am formulating so many other questions!!!
Always watch your videos Sir 👍 beautiful
Rumour has it that Peter was on holiday in Northumbria a few weeks ago.
I recently acquired a Kashmir Cypress for bonsai and was unsure about how I wanted to move forward with its development. Thanks to you I am much more certain in the path I must take. Thank you.
Good to see these in there next phase

Hi Peter, thanks for all the knowledge being shared. Currently I am a bit of a bonsai observator at the moment, but have you ever tried to "copy" wild mature trees in bonsai form? There are two trees in particular that I know that are magnificent and would look top notch in miniature.
It s rudimentary to suptle🎉,
Very nice❤
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 thanks Peter, well done
I want to do a similar thing on my tree but not sure it's perfect now just before the winter time as I believed the tree is storing some vitamins in the needles now?
Please wait until early spring
i allways love your vidio. Just wondering how you watering so many plant?
Thanks for sharing this! I always learn so much from your videos.💯
I don't own any bonsai yet, but I hope to someday soon. I leave in central Wisconsin, USA and I'm interested in learning what I should look for in finding a reputable bonsai grower. Do you have any videos addressing this? ❣️
As I dont live in USA, I am not familiar with the grower scene there.
I’ve just struck around 10 yew cuttings. Looks like I have a long journey ahead of me 😂
They’ll be bonsai when your 90
it may take a few years to grow bonsai out of them, but definitly not 90 years to get halfway decent results. In the first 5-10 years they may not look like too much of course, but even then you can work on them over the years and develop them to your liking. Bonsai take time and if someone says "I don't have time for that" he/she is lying. Every one has the time as long as one takes it.
Fantastic, satisfying video Mr Chan! It's great when you get out the chainsaws... What does everyone think of a yew as my first bonsai? I've always thought they're beautiful full-sized in nature with their bright red bark and knotted forms. If they bud back so easily it could be a good choice?
Yews are a very good choice for first bonsai. As Peter said, you can cut them as you like and new shoots come from everywhere, also very old wood. Also you can easily get starter material from every garden center as they are sold as hedging plants (at least in Europe).
only three videos into this channel and i love this guy 😂😂😂👏🏻❤️
Such a big bush and the trunk is nothing 😂
sugar maples can be done this way as well?
❤️
So Peter.. If i bought a small shohin bonsai from a nusery which only has a trunk as thick as an index finger and no taper at all. At this point, is it possible to repot it in larger pot such as the ones shown in this video and let grow for years to get a thicker trunk ? Best regards from scandinavia
Anyone know if this can be done to any tree, and not just the evergreen types in the video? Like deciduous ones. Also, it's almost winter so is this OK to do to deciduous trees at this time of year too?
once you have the trunk, how do you then cut back the roots to a shallow size without killing the tree?
Peter-san, I have a question: On average, how many of these 50 Yew trees will die after such a major cutback?
What about putting a tree in a large pot in the ground? it will be easier to remove later, especially if one does not own the property and must move at some point.
If you leave a pot on the ground the roots will go into the ground anyway. This is what happens to our potted trees. Makes watering easier.
'thick bush, but such a small trunk...' :,(
i thot i was the only one, 🤔
👍👌👌🙂
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
One question, Peter. Do you close the wounds with cut paste?
No they heal themselves
Peter - could you have used the cut pieces to grow more trees?
Yes I could but I will soon run out of space if I did more propagation
Peter, do you hear the planes ?
I dont hear the planes anymore.
The trees don't hear them either
Does this work with maples and cypresses?
Yes
Why are the cuts made so far from the trunk?
In case the customers want to make 'jins' from them.
Sometimes I wonder if you can make a monkey puzzle tree into a bonsai. I know the UK has a lot of them over there. Makes me wonder do you sell monkey puzzle trees at your nursery? If so you should do a video about them.
I love monkey puzzle trees, the doctors surgery in my home village used to have a MASSIVE one right outside the front door. A big storm took it down and the entire village was worse for it. I'd love a monkey puzzle tree of my own in truth. I do see Jacksons Nurseries are selling nursery material. But no idea if it'll make good bonsai material
@@Stettafire i love monkey puzzle trees also they are amazing looking, especially considering that it’s a tree that you definitely don’t see very often in my area. I discovered them a few years ago on a online nursery so I did some research learned about them and bought it and fell in love with it more so. I love evergreen trees I’ve always had a thing for evergreen trees and bushes. I’ve been watching Peter for quite sometime and always wondered if you could make a bonsai out of it or a dwarf version for people who want one but don’t have the room. There is only one way to find out tho it may take some time to discover.
I have never seen a bonsai made from this species. Very difficult.
@@peterchan3100 may take years of experimenting alittle I would say.
Pretty sure monkey puzzle trees grow from the leader so guessing not suitable for bonsai.
^5
What happend?
I bet your water bill isn’t cheap
i hate having a big bush and a small trunk...........ladies always want a thick trunk
2:00 you welcome ladies and gentlemen. every asian guy at a bath house am i right?
how to become fat! isn't it disappointing to have such a big bush but the trunk is nothing
It’s not hard chan.. just dig the fukas out of the ground.. yamadori is the only way you can get a real thick bonsai.. no body wants to wait anymore so you have to move with the times.. slow and long won’t cut it anymore.. you need to speed it up and honestly growing from seed is dead in this society..
Have you visited Herons? We have our own field grow trees which Kevin Willson calls the "Herons field grow Yamadori" - 12 inches and thicker Diameters - they are in pots which weigh half a ton. Yews, Pines, hornbeams etc. They are purchased by those who know how to handle them - not for the faint hearted.
@@peterchan3100hell yeah, Peter! The kids don't know. You've got everything out there. Don't pay attention to disrespectful idiots.
What is wrong with you? That is a deeply rude message, even if you disagree with his message you don't have to be so impolite. And as for Yamadori . . . First of all it depends where you are if digging up wild stock is even an option. In many places it's illegal to go dig up plants in the forest as it should be and second of all there is nothing wrong with long and slow. Not everyone needs instant gratification.
@@samlomb2093 which person are you defending? Peter or the rude dummy who made the original comment?
I am never offended
@@denvernow7294
What happens to all the stumps stuck out of the trunk?
Late summer is a good time to trim down most trees this much?
Probably better to hike up in the high country and look for some yamidori!
Peter you may not know it but I already got the fat part covered…😂🫡
