The ramification on that tree is just gorgeous! Very educational video about roots that can choke the trunk. Thank you Peter! ❤
Peter I’m glad you said it’s a slow growing tree, because I noticed that with my shishi. It’s also difficult to wire so I have been clipping only. That tree looks beautiful. 👩🏻🌾🌲
Watching you work is always a pleasure. Lifelong learning at its best. I wish you and your team as well as all subscribers a happy Easter. 🐰🌷🐇💚
Big healthy maple 🍁, need a bit more pruning but it's just me 😂. One happy client there 👍. Thx for sharing Peter... Cheers

Always wanted to look into adding a shishi to my collection ! Thanks Peter
Shoka bonsai in Ireland have a big Shishi for sale if you are interested I would buy it my self but just too big for me, I think the price has been reduced to. If you live in the U.K. they will deliver it free of charge.
@@joegarland4885 sorry mate I’m all the way in Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 😁 we have very few here that I’ve seen in nursery’s / private
Collections they all need to be air layered/propagated to start the movement from scratch
@@dannymarroquin3495 Ah a bit far to have a tree delivered Danny.
I just bought a shishi at Walmart! It’s ~5ft tall for 70$ USD. Never know where you’ll find one
@@iTeachMyToast just bought one here in Melbourne in late autumn , I feel very fulfilled now that I’ve got one :)
Hello Peter. Very interesting video, as we just had a tree trimming company come out in the fall, and do the same removal to a full grown Crimson King maple tree, and crossing fingers, will know in a month or so, if it worked. Thing is, I realized it was doing that after becoming involved in bonsai, and I hope it isn't too late. Its a beautiful tree.
I hope to be visiting the nursery on Sunday morning. I need to keep an eye open for Peter with an axe… 😊
Great hearing a south african accent there.
Brilliant job. Thank you for this great lesson. The tree is going to be magnificent and a joy to behold. You are truly in tune with everything you touch and I love your perseverance and critical eye. Blessings to you always. 🇺🇸🙏
A Master Bonsai Artist at His Best!👍🏻
Hope you are being sarcastic.😏

Great job, nice to be aware of this before you ever encounter it, thanks Peter
Lol Those times when only a hatchet and bow saw will do!
Good thing the bow saw blades are cheap!
I replanted my already quite big conker bonsai today. It's only one year and 2 months old. But wow, they grow fast (already my thickest trunked tree, and among the tallest). I cut the biggest root, it was already a cm thick, though it hadn't really circled the tree in any way yet, I don't intend to let it. :P
Whew! Major surgery. I was exhausted after..... Beautiful tree.
Looks great 😊 just acquired one of these trees. The homeowner was renovating the garden. We managed to dig it out and I’m going to plant it in my garden this morning. It must be about 20 - 25 years old. I hope it survives as we had to go at the roots to get it out of the soil. Maybe using a hammer with the axe might take away the need to swing the axe in such a confined space.
No jiggery pokery here Peter, straight to chopping, as we've come to expect! 🪴🍁
So beautiful
Thanks for the lesson!
Wow mantap sahabat 🙏🙏👍👍

I am about to do mine this was perfect for me thank you!
i love this....looks so good
Brilliant Mr Peter Chann reparations reparations reparations we love all your utube video's .👍👍👍.Ernie smith from brisbane Australia
I was wondering how long it would be before Peter picked up the hatchett? A note for the future, perhaps a grinding tool to quicken time cutting roots?
Looks much better 👌
As for root work, I can imagine a more radical measure being some kind of explosive.
😂
Morning breakfast clubbers Happy Easter
Its a scary process when u had it that long.
Adorei a tradução do que está
muito rápido não dá tempo de fazer a leitura
I'd love to see that tree in leaf!
The psyco tree killer. Lol
野曠山有色
You take ur plant to the plant guy and he takes a hatchet to it 😂
Are the roots only going round and round in (round) flower pots and not in bonsai pots? Is this, because bonsai pots are rectangular? What about round bonsai pots?
Mr Chan said as bonsai people we know what's good , so we know not to leave it to its own devices
In a bonsai pot the roots growing round are removed each time the tree is repotted and hopefully the original root spread has been developed towards a radial design in the early stages of development. That said many trees are not dealt with properly and decent looking soil covers many root issues.
Superb 👌👌👌
Peter, Due to the late spring drought and heat wave in my are, my Shishigashira lost all of its leaves, thinking i had lost the tree. After heavy watering new leaves starting returning, but they were very tiny, no bigger than a lintel. An air layered offshoot that was formed from two year prior did not have the same result, its leaves remained normal size. Now into September 2023, the leaves are still the same minuscule size. I am still keeping it watered along with all of my other trees, but I don't know what to do to increase the leaf size. I am hoping that next year in the spring, the leaves will return to the regular size. Any hints will be appreciated.
👍🏼👍🏼🌳
Have a electric reciprocating saw? Harbor Freight $50. Good luck.
👍👌👌🙂🙂
Did you smear the cut with paste or something else?
(used google translate)
For big cuts of over 10mm did - use cut paste.
@@HeronsBonsaiUK I meant root cut. thanks for the answer
Hi Peter, thanks again for the nice video! Can you tell me what is your favorite maple for bonsai? More is also good 😊 happy Easter,Ashwin
The ordinary Acer palmatum or Mountain maple is best - Easy to train, strong, not fussy and good Autumn colour.
Thank you for your reaction.
Wow, it's amazing what you really can do with a root structure! There's certainly no pussy footing around with Peter.
Any advise for the best cultivation/propagation issues for this unique kind of maple? Thanks
Nothing special - they like full sun
@@HeronsBonsaiUK best way to propagate?
💕👍
Is the owner a South African?
You can tell by his accent.
I swear you're like a tree savant. I can THINK about one of my tree's roots, and it'll keel over...

🇻🇳hello
My respect for mr Chan is big following him for a lot of years now. But working with big axes on maple roots is in my eyes not sensible. Lots of powertools available to do the work much better quicker. Better for the plant.
Yes this was just bad work.
A good example is the way corin tomlinson does major pruning. Look at some video's of him. Never too old to learn. He respect the bonsai he is working with
The tree is thinking, what’s going on?
The tree is thinking Yep this proves Peter Chan is no bonsai master.
@@dunker982 what, and you are?!
@@nickjohnson710 Do I need to be?
@@dunker982 clearly you are
@@nickjohnson710 listen. Peter Chan's website is a place to enjoy his adventures and chill out for a bit. This is not a place for silly spats like small children. Behave yourself and remember that people are entitled to their opinions regardless whether you agree with them or not.
Hacked and butchered.
Those root chops are a great way for disease to get in and the pruning left too many thick cuts where some taper could have been utilised instead. The thick cuts where necessary could have been taken back further towards where the tree will eventually be trimmed to but they were left long and unsightly. Some crossing branches were left distracting the design and spread of the tree. A little more time spent and attention to detail would have produced a better tree.
Wanna borrow my sawzall?
guy sounds south african
I don´t think this rootbase looks good...
To all people that are new to Bonsai. Don't do this!
Do the repot when bud brakes. That's the best time and safest
Dont use and axe on the roots. Power tools is available. Cleaner cuts heal faster and less chance for infections.
I would use a garden hose. And get all that nasty mud out off the roots . In the end that will rot the roots in the base. And you keep in water to keep the outside of the roots in the bonsai mix moist.
And be careful not to scare up the base of the tree when you do repot. 😅
This was just terrible.
Sorry Mr chan. You have doing this for 40 years. But when I see so terrible work I have to comment.
I completely concur. I’m afraid this is far from best practice.
Repot was too early, roots were hacked and left with horrible cuts and damage, trunk was scarred. Even the top pruning was lacking any attention to detail. Whilst this tree will probably survive I wouldn’t treat such a wonderful specimen like this. It’s commercial nursery mentality - if it looks ok we can sell it.
What are considered the best bonsai in the world? Ones that were made a couple of hundred of years ago, right? I am pretty sure that they didn't have powertools back then - only rudimentary hand tools like blades and axes like the ones Peter used.
In bonsai, all roads lead to Rome - meaning that the same objective can be achieved through many ways and not just one. And, you don't have to do everything at once.
Peter has already demonstrated in previous videos that his methods work (the pickaxe maple he mentioned). There are other bonsai people on youtube who have also demonstrated the rough and ready pruning methods to achieve a more natural, less contrived look to their trees.
If you try hard (or very, very hard), you will always find things that can be pointed out as gross violations of the rules.
jajaj lol sorry master
Hy friends, cek my bio 🙏🏻
Thanks,
used a saws to cut make easy?
We only use old saws to cut roots because cutting roots will blunt the saws as the soil damages the blades.
