Japanese Maple Shaping Decisions Part 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 січ 2019
- How do you decide on the shape of a Maple Bonsai? In this video I show you the process of deciding the shape of the tree. I use many examples as the more options I show you the more confident you will become when making that choice yourself.
Every tree has a different styling option. It is important to decide what works, whether a broom style tree or a twin trunk or any other shape and style Bonsai. Bear in mind that usually the base of the tree will determine to a large extent what the front of the Bonsai will be.
Top Tip: When you cut the trunk leave about an inch or so as a stub and don’t cut flush to the trunk as it will die back to the next point. Once cut you can use a wound sealant.
Don’t forget making bonsai takes patience.

"Life is about choices". Love how Peter occasionally talks about life while teaching about Bonsai.
This is the way.
I just love watching and learning. I'm new to bonsai and I feel like I learn something from every video. Thank you.
Watching you work Peter is so relaxing
Wow, I had no idea that some bonsai were made from tall trees! Just amazing! So eager to learn more!
This is what real bonsai passion looks like! What a terrific nursery!!!
The learning never ends. Thank you Peter
I love these hands-on illustrations on how to prune and analyze for future growths. Soo very helpful and informative. Thank you for these videos!
Thank you so much for this video. You've just saved the little mapel I bought. As a complete novice I was going to start chopping branches and cutting roots to fit it into a bonsai pot. I've now put it into a bigger pot to let it get strong and hopefully a nice thick trunk. Looking forward to watching your other videos.
Interesting insight into your method for growing maples for bonsai. Also very good point about allowing for die back and compartmentalisation of cut wounds.
I can tell you really have a special relationship with your bonsai's - very cool to see, definitely see the passion.
Amazing as always.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I love watching your videos! Aloha.
I cannot thank you enough, I've been trying to find information on how to bonsai larger trees (I have a 7ft oak and 6ft acer), but not knowing where to start, and scared of killing them. You are a wonderful tutor, concise, understandable, informative, and enjoyable. Thankyou!
Same! I came trying to find out how to train some a.j. coral bark we let grow from seedlings in our garden (from the full-grown mama) and I didn't know what to do to rein in but also kind of honor the crazy growth patterns they'd gotten themselves into. Thank you!
beautiful trees, to many choices, great job Peter
"...but there are no hard and fast rules to doing it"... Thank you Peter. And may God continue to bless you and your family. And of course your awesome videos on bonsai and life.
Thank you very much for all of your videos. I have been learning about Bonsai Maple trees and other trees from these videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Thank you for these great informative videos... looking forward to more!
I don’t know how anyone would choose a tree...so many wonderful ones. Enjoyed the video
This is serious bonsai! I love it!
Always good information. Also good examples and explanations. Thank you.
Maple bonsai are also my favourite. Very interesting to see your method from taller trees ❤🇨🇦
Very informative and well made video. I enjoy learning when the info given is so precise. Thank you
Excellent video, thanks for the upload. Japanese maples are my favorite
Yesss.. life is a choice.. ty for giving us another great choice Peter!!!
I am new to bonsai and making them but so far your video's have helped me a lot and in time I hope to be a good scolpsher of bonsai trees thank you so much for taking time to make video's
Wonderful video, thank you for teaching us so much.
Wish I had Peter's 'eye' for what the finished tree will look like and also another life so I could come back and work with him! Excellent presentation as usual.
I always enjoy your videos. Very helpful.
I absolutely love watching you teach! Especially about Japanese Maples! Your such an inspiration and give the courage for me to achieve things I don’t think I would otherwise have achieved! Thank you
Thanks Chris, look out for Part 2, many more maples.
Oh I will. I’ve been following for a while now. I love all the videos as they are very informative
Ich bin so begeistert. Ein grosser Meister seines Faches
Immer gut gelaunt und tiefenentspannt, passend zu dieser Arbeit🤗🤗 eine grosse Bereicherung auch für Anfänger.
Vielen Dank🙏
Great teaching. I love bonsai trees.
Thousands of maples? Wow! My wildest dreams. I can't even get maples to grow from cuttings. Another amazing video, sir.
Channel was suggested to me, turned out to be perfect, now i have some idea what to do with my 3 feet tall but 32 year old maple tree, Thanks !
just bought 3 mountain maples from you, very exciting thank you !
I enjoy watching your video. I’ve learn something new today. Thank you😊
Great video, i love deciduous basicly maples, this will help me futurely.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. You are a constant inspiration sir.
i bought a very nice blood good last month, maples are my new favorite
It was very informative, Master. May you be healthy so that we can learn more from you. Thank you very much
A wealth of information. Thankyou for teaching.
Thank you for the inspiration.
Very interesting, excellent teaching.
those videos are the best thing ive seen for a long time
Thank you for sharing very informative and I wish I lived near you or in your country. Thanks, Phil Boston, USA
Thank you.... 🙏 😔 🙏
Dr. Chan, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. It is now one of my references videos. The video has so much tequnique in it, you show how you make decisions, there is so much here that you could not tell someone. They just have to watch you, as you "Cut Boldly®".
🎄🙏 🖖 🙏 😔 🙏 🙏 🙏 🎄
You inspire me! Thx for sharing.
Utterly fascinating!
I always enjoy the videos.
Yes you definitely have me some confidence. I have only one tree. I have to get it right.
Look at his trees, that's how you know it's solid advice!
Fascinating, such a pleasure to watch.
This was a very good tutorial, thank you!
Enjoying 😉 this guys art and accent 😍 👌 ❤ 😊 thanks 😊
You really can be patient, when you have so much trees to work on. Good video!
Excelent video!
I really enjoyd this one
Thank you for sharing.
This is so amazing to watch! Thank you sensei
Master Chan recognizes and respects the Soul of each Tree.
This is very interesting, can you start telling us how old each tree is in the future? One of my guys is about the same trunk size and it’s about 9 years old, they grow very very slow but I like that about them. Thank you so much Sir. I wish I could visit your 7 acres someday I will get there from California ❤️
I just did my first Acer "Kiyohime" it was $45 so a little scary but I did remove a lot of stuff, it was just a bush, had many broken branches, looks beautiful now as an informal upright. I may buy one of the expensive 6' tall trees and air layer it to get a thicker trunk, it would be nice to hear how old each tree might be when you are talking about them, gives an idea how many years of training it has had. Great video as they all are.
Thank you for another fine video.
Thank you, watch out for Part 2!
I loved that last multi trunk. I think I'm being drawn back into working on my trees. I've had my tools and books packed away in boxes about 3 years now. I planted my trees and what survived are looking good. Even wired a Japanese black pine for movement. Ya, I think it's in my blood. Thank you
thank you and many greetings from Germany.
The amount of inventory that you have is staggering!!!
Fantástico! Maravilloso! Genial!
Very nice teaching
Thanks for this video. I got a maple seedling from my neighbors about 35 cm height. It has a bare trunk for the bottom 30 cm. I am not sure what to do ... I think that it is too tall so I might just have to chop it shorter and see if some side branches will grow. So easy to watch you doing all the cuttings ... :)
Thank you... Very interesting!
Your videos are the best
my goodness I just stumbled on to this site.. FANTASTIC! I have always been interested in bonsai trees but was always busy with life.. But the kids are grow now the working is over and I have all the time in the world until I end.. you set the spark back a light in me my friend.. and I have a japanese maple in my front yard!... one question though.. don't the trees freeze in the pots over the winter? We do not have a bad winter here in vancouver washington very often.. But once and awhile it can be.. I guess my wife gets her green house this year!
Hello tinkmarshino, it's a good questions please check out our video on Overwintering Bonsai ua-cam.com/video/x8JwO1n9-hg/v-deo.html - if you haven't already please do subscribe to our channel.
I think I'm going to give it a go ..... so inspiring .... and you can be so brutal .... I would have expected the poor thing to die with such severe cutting ... gives me hope that I can do this too.
Grande maestro Sensei del Bonsái.
I think im falling in love with maple's
Could you make a video about bonsai pots, please? particularly large sizes.
Good evening sir. I just subscribed to your channel. So much for me to watch here. This year I would like to start a couple of outdoor bonsai. I am thinking of a Japanese red maple and a pyracanthia. Do you have any videos of the Japanese red maple?
I am going to have many educational and enjoyable hours watching your videos.
Thanks a lot for the video
i have grow osakazuki from seed they are 2 feet tall, can i cut the growing point so my tree grows new side shoots many thanks you have lots of lovely mapels you are a master of the mapel tree
Very nice
Very nice Videos... helping a lot. I wished i had more space than my balkony....
Preciosos arces. un saludo desde España
Great video Mr. Chan. I have learned a lot from this video. Just a question what is the the type of paste are you using to seal the cutting? What brand? Cheers
verry informative!! thank you!
The Felco will do it works for me!
Poland says big Thanks for lerning us!
Very helpful
As usual, most nicely done, thank you. If you would please explain what you are using to seal the cuts ?
every video you make is very nice to see !!! we are learning a lot with you !!! I will have a question on the soil, what substrate do you use to grow maples in containers, and what proportion please ???
Thank You.
If you get the opportunity, Definitely worth a visit, I've always wanted to collect a natural seedling from under the beautiful deshojo he's got.
YOU CUT THAT TREE STEVE!!!
Very interesting
I’ve been trying to be a bonsai grower for years now and I sometimes get good and sometimes I don’t...I just love bonsais and I have seven that I’ve dug up in the forest.. I have a couple still in the forest that I’ve been training now for 8 years and I’ll dig them up this fall and bring them home,,,
Great video, can I ask as I've planted maple Katsura on a ply in the ground. 1/2inch thick trunk. How long left alone will it take to thicken up to a 2inch trunk.
Wow, wee, this is a fantastic tutorial, so informative. I absolutely love my Japanese Maples but am often scared to make cuts in fear of them dying or something. Would love to know if there are specific Maples or Acers that suit being a bonsai better than others? Are there some that you could not do this too at all? Thank you so much for going to such effort of making this video 🧡🧡. Greetings from Ireland
Good morning, your work is great. I have a question for you ... When I prune a branch of maple palmatum, remove much wise and dry more than 10 cm on the pruned branch, I want to ask if you can answer me. What would be the time of year to cut branches without the plant removing so wise in the cut? Thank you
Thank you
One of my Maple look like one of them that you made. I thought I did it wrong. ☺☺☺
