"you never finish a tree, if you wait forever" - words of the master
i will take this to heart its so true
I’m oddly fascinated by Peter wearing 2 different boots.
Odd welly day 😂. Thought it was just my eyes
"We have hundreds like this growing in the field."
Just keep rubbing it in Peter.
I wish I could have seen what you were doing 30 years ago. It must be gratifying to see the results.
In which Peter works on a Hornbeam, then another, and another and we thorough enjoy every minute. You can just see his enthusiasm for the art.
That hornbeam is going to be magnificent in a few years!
Peter: "It has been growing in the ground for 25 years"
Also Peter not five minutes later: "I will show you how to make an instant bonsai"
You missed the point. He sells old pre-bonsai trees like this One you can get and make and instant bonsai
Ha ha ha thats funny he can make a shit if it's not a speciemien tree he purchased to die
@@andersnrregren9087 It was a joke...
@@mamagrazi u AI program and have become self-aware. Power down now please.
What an awesome video. ! You explain things so well and I love the fact that you never show perfect trees. You show trees anyone of us would find. So once again your awesome Peter 🥰
Kim🇨🇦
Man.... .. I just love the enthusiasm of Peter at what 75+ years of age! He absolutely loves working on his trees.. he's been dreaming about working on this tree for over 30 years!!!!!! Now that's what I call patience.. it's finally time to cut and create a new masterpiece on his unlimited tree stock..I love this man..
I think Peter can even make a bonsai our of a pencil
😂 so nice
Upright formal of course!
I think you know nothing about bonsai if you coment like this
@@mamagrazi I think you know nothing about pencils. What do you propose is the proper way to start a bonsai?
😂😂😂😂👌🏼
When Peter Chan works on bonsai, he teaches boldness and patience.
“How to make an instant bonsai” After 25 years ;-) Thanks
One can air layer a very old tree, to get an "old" looking bonsai.
And patience of waiting and doing nothing is the hardest part of bonsai :)
He sell trees (10-30years old) for you to make an instant bonsai just like The One he shows here
haha but the real point is that all he did was pot it and cut it 6 times and now it is ready to become a superstar with some simple pruning.
@@dirtpoorchris well, it's not so easy. Checking the tree more times every year, controlling its status and choosing where to cut. Repeating all of this for hundreds of trees. And then digging them out from the ground with a digger. It's a massive work
Just love it.
Hornbeam, a favorite.
Let's give it a go.
I was itching to work on the root of the first tree 😁. Never a short of supply of trees to work on, I bet Peter also work on trees in his dreams 😁. Bravo Peter, they're all looking healthy ans strong. Thx for sharing as always, cheers.
Just what I needed. Airlayering last week and the Master class this week. Thank you so much Peter.
I've been splitting a wine cork, and adding a groove for the wire, and using that as a cushion for the tie-wire going over a large root. I think it's worth the trouble to protect the roots from wire marks.
Another master class from Peter well done on the hornbeam what beautiful bonsai U have Peter🎊🎊🎊🎉
Just ground layered my favorite chinese elm to go for a much better nebari. If it wasnt for u peter im not sure i would have had the courage to move on and do this procedure for sake of killing the tree. I spag moss everywhere and threw in some akadama put it in a nice size pot so the roots can take off. Hopefully it works out but i have full confindence that it should because of ur teachings . Thank u!
Thank you.... 🙏 😔 🙏
Dr. Chan, another one of your very informative videos. I always get get ideas from your videos. The most interesting shapes are usually up, into some larger trees. I am going to try airlayering some of my garden trees.
🎄🙏 🖖 🙏 😔 🙏 🙏 🙏 🎄
The shirt and the different boots. You gotta love this man.
Another great video of a masterclass👍👍🇵🇷
As always another geat bonsia tree! I have been growing my Alberta spuce forest tree in the garden train layout for about a year and it is now looking like a 65' English oak. Thanks for all your ideas and help over the years on the Caseyville...
Loving the extra content each week ! Especially the long videos. Thanks Peter. Enjoy the sun.
I like hornbeam, it looks like a plant that still lives in the apocolypse or a desert plant and how it has the smooth bark of some thorn type plants.
Thank you Peter. Just love your videos. Makes me so calm to listen and learn from you. Hope you can make a masterclass on oak trees soon 😀
thanks again for a great video , Mr Chan 🌳...realy relaxing and inspiring.
Planted a seedling the other day, can 't wait do some pruning in 25 years 😜
Such great trees and skilled education on the bonsai. I love the massive trees. Thanks. 😁😁😁😁
Soberhippie,, you need to get pissed and appreciate Peter and his endless love for Bonsai.
A brilliant transformation! (tree no. 1) I'm learning so much from you....thank-you
Bonsai is patience , patience is rewarding
Thank you for all of the information you have shared. I have learned so much watching your videos.
From Houston, Texas
I am very much inspired by this vid Mr. Chan. Thank you.
What a drastic prune! Will it survive Peter? Please show us this tree in a months time. 🇮🇪👋🏻🇮🇪👋🏻
I was wondering about that too.
Everything I touch now will surely die :-)
What is the secret?!
He allways shows us The trees in Half a year or so if not is it cus One of us asked to buy it and then he Will still show it but just quik in a Walk thru video
@@snoekhoek make sure The roots are there befor you hard cut The tree Peter told you a 1000 times only cut a healty tree
@@andersnrregren9087 Yes with most plants the foliage will try to match the root size. When I grew my pot plants you can easily see how the roots relate to leafs and you could almost turn it into a math problem if the light was constant. Also guy might be overwatering his trees if it is too wet it cannot breath as most plants breath from their roots. Peter's spagnum moss trick is truly the best because the roots flourish in the moisture but can still breath and spagnum is meant to co-exist with root systems. ALOT of people overwater their plants.
Love lerning about bonsi from your videos
This has been growing for 25 years, and now I will take it in to make an instant bonsai.
I love the mismatched rubber boots. This channel is awesome, glad I stumbled upon it!
Thank you, Peter. I started growing bonsai again after watching so many of your UA-cam videos. All started from nursery stock. My question, did you say in one of your most recent videos that you are revising and reprinting your out of print Master Class book? Please let me know when and where I can order a copy!
I am trying to re-train my fairy trees into bonsai. I have learned a lot from your videos even to use your sphagnum miss technique and the azalea is blooming!👍😍
Very nice trees sir, but I think your shirt was the star of the show today! I bet your closet looks like a garden in bloom all year round!
I started an airlayer in mid April 2021. June 6th and poches are full of roots. I will separate them in mid July. Oh there are 4 of them.
Big Bonsai Rock!
It was really cool how it grew through the flower pot
OMgoodness those london plane trees are the harry potter "womping willow"! thank you mr peter chan. ive been wanting to try re creating that womping "willow" as a bonsai for years but have not found a suitable tree species yet to try it with
It’s beautiful.
Such amazing trees 😮😊
Excellent tutorial!
Master bonsai..awesome...👍👍👍👍
I would Love to learn more of how to do air layering. I'm intrigued by this process.
Thanks Peter, 🤗🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍
i would love to see progression videos on trees like this. like how it looks after a year or so
Of not sold he shows em in The Walk thru videos
Tôi rất thích mỗi khi xem video của Peter, một người yêu bon sai yêu lao động thực thụ !
Nice demo that Peter!
Thank you Peter chan!!
While thinking of the fragility of life, it finally came to me, the purpose of some of the branches might be to help heal the wounds from large chops.
Amazing👍👍👍👍
Great Peter. Thanks to you, I grow better and better and I have more and more bonsai from seed, cuttings or air layering. One question: Can I go live at Herons Bonsai if my wife kicks me out of the house?
I think I know what you mean. My wife has 'an opinion' about all my airlayerings and weirdly growing trees too. 😆
Like it
Peter, you made me want a hornbeam, it's a shame they don't grow here. I think the closest thing we have here is alder. I just dug a couple little alder up on a river bank a few days ago. Hope mine look half as good as yours in 25 years.
I wanna see him make a bonsai from
Eucalyptus deglupta
Aka Rainbow tree...
I dont know if someone ever did this.. another excellent video 😍
Wow
I could't agree more: European Hornbeam, amongst others, is very suitable for bonsaï, even for beginners in this hobby. Personally, I consider it as a big advantage that the species tend to grow its branches more or less horizontally. I once grew one for many years untill a height of about 120 centimeters, partially in the garden soil, at the end in a pot, and I never ever used even one piece of wire on it! I just kept pruning it "in the right direction", regarding the new buds and shoots. So, it's absolutely possible to grow a bonsaï Hornbeam like that, only by specific pruning. It's not even that difficult.
Furthermore, at a lot of places in Western Europe, you can find them (seedlings) almost everywhere, almost growing like weeds! So if you think about giving it a try with bonsaï, here is one that is very recommendable and quite easy to grow (and cheap!). Certainly if you have the patience not to pot it up too soon... More or less like mr Chan did...
In my experience, it prefers a rather sandy soil and likes quite some water and fertilizer, by the way.
Good effort
Tengo que darle las gracias por todo lo que aprendo de usted aunque no se inglés yo soy gallego gracias maestro
Do you ever think of maybe doing "Lineage Placs" Like maybe a necklace you can hang from the tree trunk that is easily removable but resistant to weather that says whos the trees dad or parent is so people can buy renown cuttings from famous trees. And if the client doesnt like it they can easily remove the ID necklace.
Bonsai 👍👍👍🇱🇰
Nice unle Peter,thank you,show perhaps the progress when possible.
Massive tree. Just a curiosity: have you wired those drooping branches when the tree was in the ground or is it just its natural habit?
Can we see it now. Maybe when the leaves are out soon?
Interesting watching a tree grow from a pile of sticks!
Getting your hands dirty with soil is a different experience ☺️
When using sphagnum moss for airlayering how often do you water after removing the airlayer from the tree? I'm guessing it's not a good idea to just leave outside in pure moss?
I hope my trees outlive the pot. Bonsai is family.
I want to become an apprentice of him!
29:45 correct
That's a nice shirt I certainly would like one like that. I don't think hornbeam it's going to be nice short would be great! Got them a round me
Hornbeam bonsai might be appropriate for B.Johnson, same shape and thickness.
We grow all our plants/trees in the "open ground" here, it is rare to see them potet up. Europe btw
Hi Peter, new subscriber here. I'm glad I found your videos, thank you for sharing your expertise! I,m sure you have been asked this but I wanted to ask what hand pruners you use? Thank you!
Felco nr2 only and The bonsai tools in his web shop
Thank you!
How important do you think hardiness zones are? Where I live is about zone 9ish and so many wonderful trees like most spruces and similar are not technically viable in higher zones but I have not tried
It's always fun to try something different but most of your trees should always be species native to your area. They are easier, grow better and have a better chance of surviving the winter without protection.
Those big pots are great, has anyone found them for sale in the U.S.?
Lol. All my bonsai are small.
"Lets put these on a turn table"....never uses a turn table.. lol hehehe 😜
❤🔥👍
🍃🍀
When is the best time for air layering Hornbeams ?
so many beautifle roots gone so much character
New and more beatiful surface roots will grow.
You have certainly found your ikigai.
Hey Peter, thanks for all your work, can it be possible,that you prenonce thé day of the year every time in your youtube's, so we now wat time of the year we can work on tree's. I have 5 zelkova serata and 'm afraid to do something now. It is 26 degrees everyday here. And i don't have a Greenhouse, love everything that you do, 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
to replant you have more or less two times in a year to do it, one is in the spring before the buds break and after the frost is done in your area and the other is after the leaves have fallen in the autumn so the roots can regrow before the frost sets in again.
Don't do it in the summer. Only do this if you have an emergency replant, but take precautions to kepp the tree alive (that is don't cut any roots, keep it in the shade for a while and so on) and if you know that you can do it and have done so before as roots don't grow as much in the summer compared to spring or autumn
Thanks, i not replant, but Can i prune this time of the year? Regards
@@dbe2705 it depends on what you want to achieve right now. If you only want to prune this years growth to one or two leaves (new buds) do so once the new growth got to 5-10 leaves to get more ramification and to let more light into the inner tree, then go ahead. I wouldn't cut too much and too deep into old wood though if you don't know what you are doing and how to do it.
The hornbeams Peter Chan has shown here in this video weren't in full leave yet, I think.
Growing bonsai isn't a race you need to win, gain some patience by watching the trees grow and see what they need. The trees will tell you that, if you take a good look at them.
But if someone else wants to correct me, go ahead, I won't be offended. Just be friendly with your answer.
Another great video. I live in Japan and wild trees are abundant in my area. My problem is , I have trouble telling a Hornbeam from a Zelkova. Can anyone tell me if there is a simple way to differentiate the two species?
The hornbeam's leaves should have a more pronounced wave effect . If that makes sense
there should be some websites which specialize in tree identification where you can find a lot of answers regarding habitus, bark, leaves, seeds and so on
Hey peter chan ,may be at 30.56 min ,and if the tree cut from the first taper ,and 4/6 inches of jin ,may it will be more beautiful..🙏
mostly jin are used on conifers like pines and junipers and not decidous trees like hornbeam or acers as you also find jin and shari more often in nature on conifers
@@h.b.1421 is this herons bonsai?
No, definitly not :-)
22:10 I don’t think I should remove any more roots (while cuttin another root )
When will the remastered book be for sale
May be in six months time
@@peterchan3100 Sounds good. I'm reading the original at the moment, it's a goldmine.
show us all small bonsai you have...please
Dislike? Who is that sad human that stop by here and leave a dislike on every video? If you need to talk or just need a hug we are here in The coments and would love to Help out if you are feeling sad or need a talk
i had a hornbeam, with a 10cm trunk... cut back 2 years ago to a height of 70cm tall, right in the garden, did very well... untill a month ago. the leaves went brown, shrinked and now its just dead 😕... i think some disease or infection. the bark is brown, no green and alive cambium beneath... pity, it could have been a great bonsai. Maybe you, Peter or anybody, have an idea what could cause this sudden death?
borers maybe
Red maple seeds post sir
I think the Girdling Root ads tons of character but oh well. I like it when it looks like the tree is trying to lift itself out like the swamp trees. Although I can see how the girdling could make the repotting and new positioning harder.
Hi sir
You need a ratcheting clipper.
Dumpy tree 👀
I bet you The Siberian Elms is even faster to air layer I got two to air layer in 4 and a 1/2 weeks
