You are absolutely my favorite of all the bonsai channels. You are a lot like Bob Ross, but instead of painting happy trees you grow them
"If it looks like a bush, it'll always be a bush"!! Love that. You are truly a Master.
I’ve been watching your videos for two weeks now and I love your teachings. Believe it or not, I have learned so much in two short weeks! You are amazing and the best on you tube. Many thanks and I bow to you in respect and appreciation. Thank you sir. ❤️🌺
I read 1of his books at the age of 4 ad best I could ..I understood the chi zen aspect of miniature liliput worlds housed in a pot to carry into the home in China this is pen.ching or pen Thai and in Japan bonsai in 1984
Beautiful. Thank you. I have learned much from watching your videos. You make it look so easy and have a master eye for scale. My wife gifted me my very first bonsai about 18 months ago. I now have 7 in my collection, some of which I have created myself using techniques from your videos. I find this new hobby very therapeutic and peaceful. Thank you for your encouragement and generosity in sharing knowledge. It’s a wonderful gift. Arohanui from New Zealand.
Peter wields his scissor so quickly, I'm nervous for him :) I I'm in awe of his skill & quick decision making
Update he badly but his finger last month, be careful Peter!
Would love to see this video in its entirety without any thing sped up. I enjoy hearing and seeing the entire process in real time
You can slow it down on speed play
@@LizMcNamara47 it doesn’t work the same in reverse.
I'd like if they didn't feel pressured to speed up during the "boring" parts.
It's meditative watching all the minor details and listening to him think out loud.
Very interesting and enjoyable. I hope you will keep on making these videos for those of us are trying to get the basic ideas of creating our bonsai. Thank you.
Your channel is my go-to channel for all things bonsai. Thank you, kind sir!
Thank you so much for detailed and informative information for us all. 👍👍👍
Finally! Now i know what kind of tree species is standing in my garden... i was afraid to do something to it. This video really helped me.
This channel is like with any series on Netflix, can't wait for next episode to start ;-)
That gives me the confidence to try it by myself.💪😄
Peter is a Bonsai Magus. A National Treasure.
Caution! Genius at work.
Loved your presentation and how you take the mystery out of shaping a Bonsai tree. Thank You
Just recently I have gotten very interested in bonsai and can see I have a lot of research to do
Those aerial roots seem temptingly interesting gives me an 💡 thanks again Peter 👍 inspiring. You are an enigma my eternal gratitude, I salute you again sir!
Just Amazing,Thanks for taking your time to show us,unbelievable craftsmanship and vision,No doubt sir you are the master.
I wish I had your determination and confidence when creating my bonsais. Thanks for these amazing videos.
I enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing your art.
Always love your videos, very quick and too the point which is the best way to learn.
Just planted my first Bonsai seed. A black pine. Your videos are very well done and inspiring.
I can't wait to see an update! It's a great start. Remind me what potting medium you use for cuttings? How often you water?
Beautiful bonsai
Its a future winner!
Nice work Peter.
I am a big fan of this channel and I would love to hear the voice a little better. Perhaps a wireless microphone would do the trick. Keep the videos coming! Thank you
Beautiful tree Peter and a wonderful shape 🙏🏻😀
would love to see a followup vid on this a year down the line :)
If it survives after that root disturbance and upper foliage pruning , in the middle of summer, that tree will take a year to recover ( if at all). But nice job all the same. I enjoyed watching your work.
Snap, please show how this tree gets on!
@@craighunter3273 I think he knows what hes doing :)
We will do our best to show you how this tree looks in the future.
Did you guys ever get a chance to make the follow up video?
Amazing demonstration and knowledge.
Absolutely wonderful, every time I watch one of his videos I learn something.
We are pleased that they are helpful, thank you for subscribing to the channel.
Im buying a bush ASAP & gonna have a crack at this
Really enjoy watching your videos.
I got excited watching this how it comes up🤙🤙🤙
Peter... the videos that you take raw material and create amazing bonsai; are my favorite!!!
Thank you for sharing ❤
I would love to run across a awesome tree like that to work on! Thank you for the lesson.
This dude is bad ass! Love his videos!
Really nice, Very good info. Thank you
I always enjoy your videos! Thank you for sharing your experience and skill with us.
Perhaps most people who dislike the video are not beginners who get impress easy, I personally expected more to be done to the tree especially from a master artist, hope to see a follow up video
These are super informative. Thank you!
With all due respect tho...am i the only one who thinks the plant looked so naturally beautiful before the re shaping?
the plant looked like a bush, the art of bonsai is to create miniature trees, not bushes.
Yes, you might be the only one. 😅
@GoodSamaritaan1972 , did u watch the entire video and listen to what Peter said?
I am waiting for squirrel to jump out.
Wah your hands are really fantastic sir thankyou
Masterful and insightful. Thank you for the lesson.
You are the best!
Great video. Thanks!
Fantastic work!
why some many thumbs down i guess there life sucks lol, anyways positive vibes only much respect Peter :)
Would love a follow-up on this tree and other picea.
This Master of Bonsai seems very aggressive (to this pupil) the way he combs out the roots, handles the tree and cuts away. One day I hope to have the confidence to be able to do so in a like manner.
Just years of getting your hands dirty
I wonder if you still have this one, it’s been a few years past your predicted repot stage. I bet it’s developed into a really expensive quality bonsai by now
i wish to see the progress on this too
Has this been put in its final pot? Would a follow up refinement be possible?
Would love to learn what to do with seedlings. a friend just gave me a Japanese red maple seedling. it has been sprouted for about 4 months. I would like to make it a bonsai tree.
Prune it back hard so that it creates secondary branches low which will encourage thickening. Plant it in the ground in spring and fertilize it hard for 5 years till it is nice and thick. You can do some pruning during this time but mainly let it grow so it can thicken. Then dig it up gently and plant it in a bonsai pot. Allow it to strengthen. In fall when the leaves have fallen off you can wire it.
I love your videos!
Love hat you did just beautiful. I received my first little Bonsai for christmas been wanting for a long time. Can you tell me where I can get the soil for when I need to re pot the bonsai? Also why wire the branches does it hurt the branches. I hope to ind books on them. I also have orchids and would also would love to raise a few more bonsai
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. I’m curious as to what rooting hormone product you recommend.
Any proprietary hormone rooting powder will do. Ours has IBA in it.
how do you get those trees to work on ?
Классно получилось! Лайк ! 403
Great video and nice basic shaping. Does this species of Picea backbud as this will improve over the coming years if so?
I hoped to see the end product, it looks like a hot mess right now. I know you're a master of this art form, please do show the refined piece please🙏
"You must be wondering why I have this ball here."
good work
Great videos , your a serios bonsai O.G . Thank you, is there a video that explains all the different terminology you use ?
Hello Ryan Hjelm, yes we have a video on Bonsai terminology on our youtube channel called Commonly Used Japanese Bonsai Terminology explained.
Sound by Gatwick Studios. ;)
What was that powder he mentioned?
Can i put small Acers into a bonsai pot?
In theory you can put small Acers into a bonsai pot. You will need to consider the size of the rootball - and wait till the spring.
Sir I m from india can u guide me what type of soil mix should i use for my bonsai......also tell me can i use only cocopeat in bonsai tree
don't use coco peat .... In India you can be using a mixture of substrates which are locally available...
I have question for you sir, when you leave this world, what Will you do with your bonsai?
Hello, I would like your opinion, I made a air layering in a pine tree native to my area, it is working, but it has little root. Do you think I should put it in the pot now at the end of that month, or wait for next spring? I am afraid to leave for next spring, and the harsh winter from where I live, will kill the roots because this air layering is in nature.
Pines dont air-layer as a rule. The only pine that can be propagated by air layering is the Five needle Kokoeno Pine. Dont waste your time on any other pine. They will never root.
Well Done .God Bless.
When using that metall root claw, aren't you stripping use ful roots of their bark too much? I'd use chop sticks instead, a tad gentler to the roots in my mind.......

You guys need to stop worrying about what seems like aggressive tactics this man uses.
That rake is made for that very purpose. To free the roots from the soul quickly.
Bonsai is created from stress.
They are bound, wired, put in small pots to restrict root growth and pruned back aggressively to produce smaller leaves.
This man knows what he is doing.
I have never had any problems
You need to add in music when your fast forwarding, other then that great videos!
What is the purpose of tearing branches with those big pliers and to leave them that way?
laziness
its not confidence thats needed for descision it is experience, new cutters dont yet know how the tree will recover
Can you make a Bonsai tree out of a Calamondin Orange tree? If so, how?
Yes but it's not a straightforward process. Start by potting it in a HUGE container, the biggest you can manage to move around by yourself. Then while you wait for it to grow do a lot of research on developing trunk taper, bonsai basics, and (since I'm guessing it's probably grafted) how to take cuttings and do approach grafting (to develop a new nebari and get rid of the rootstock ) don't worry, you'll have tons of time to study before the tree is anywhere near ready to be put in a bonsai pot. Good luck.
why did you take the bark off of two of the branches ?
it gives the illusion of natural formed deadwood that wouldve died like a decade ago
it makes it look way older than it actually is, which is kind of the main concept of bonsai in general
What's the name of the hormone powder you use?
Thanks
You can buy rooting hormone from most horticultural suppliers.
what does this tree look like today?
🏠
I want to buy the hormone rooting powder..help me out
Walmart, Lowes or just use some fresh Aloe
Can we see an update please?
Update?
👍
Lol that tree probably took years to grow . All RESPECT to this guy but he's like a military barbershop
What we would think is like WOW he just cut it all off and make you wait like 10 year more
Can someone type out the name of that plant for me. He said it several times but I don't know how it's spelled
tree
A dwarf Picea or spruce, a variant of Picea glauca var. albertiana
Hmm, bushes are just tiny overgrown trees🤔
Il nome di questo albero? :)
This is a form of Dwarf Alberta Spruce.
Grazie :) @@peterchan3100
I wanna hear the end of the story!
clx
The upper trunk is too straight. It will need a new apex.
This species is seldom made into a S-Shape bonsai. Mostly used for Formal Upright style.
Sorry... can't hear you!!!
Well, how can I put this... it kind of looks like a bush that's had bits haphazardly cut off it. No real design at all.
Bonsia takes decades to look refine, this is only the start, it wont really look like a proper bonsai for five or even ten years
thats what bonsai is
How is she today?
Rule #1. Horrible raw stock = Horrible bonsai. Rule #2 . Always refer to Rule #1. The master in this vid did the best he could, but this raw material will never yield a good bonsai...never! The subject tree will either become firewood or a house plant!
Jah rasta blood claat man, what you is the talk about, dis a good job man
Ok that Bonsai looks like trash.
