What trees! I am totally fascinated and love the way Peter talks about these beauties as if they were the most normal thing in the world... every bonsai enthusiast dreams of having only one such maple in his collection! Thank you, Peter, for this inspiration just to be patient!
I wish I was fifty years younger. I would move to the UK and beg Mr Chan to be an apprentice at his nursery. To learn to see with his eyes, to understand how each tree is different and to be zen enough to totally focus while under the flight path of constant planes....what a man! I could watch these videos all day, there are benefits to being in the middle of a pandemic. Not many mind you. Stay well, Peter, doing what you love. Best wishes from Kaye in Australia.
do you know how often I have thought the exact same thing! I picture showing up at his nursery begging to work for free just to see all his trees!
Fascinating to see Peters decades old trees 👍😀
Each tree having had a personality developed by Peter over those many years.
Im so happy you've made so many videos. Sometimes it doesn't matter how many times I watch a video I learn something new every time. Thank you so much.
Thank you and the team for sharing all these videos!
Got to love Peters dry sense of humour. Amazing maples and invaluable insight. Thank you.
Thank you Peter, for posting so many videos in these days! Happy Easter to everyone!
Your philosophy on the art/hobby is very inspiring. Thanks
I've been taking notes and it's been paying off! My trees are starting to look much better. Thank you teacher Chan!
Bonsai Illigan. Unfortunately he has passed. But his videos are still up. Enjoy your journey. Hopefully you shed less tears than I did for ol' Illigan.
@@TheShifftii no he's making bad jokes
@@TheShifftii I'm talking about Bonsai Illigan. A completely Different Content Creator. Not Peter. Definitely check out Bonsai Illigan Channel, Please. Keep his memory going even if he's gone. Thank you.

I want to thank you for being the most inspirational authentic and original bonsai artist and master! I love your experimentation and artistic perspective on bonsai! You have completely inspired me with your genius!!! I’ve created 2 small bonsai from your videos and they turned out to be beautiful! Thank you so much Peter! I have never been interested in bonsai until I came upon your channel and now I’ve found a new artistic and creative passion!
Nice to know that you have now found a new passion in bonsai
I really like these videos on how you use these techniques on specific species, they are great to watch!
Thanks Peter for sharing your knowledge, stay save and healthy!
Thank you, Peter for another great video..I am always amazed that with the many trees and plants you have that you can pick out individual ones and remember the history of each!
Peter... everyone has said how amazing this video has been.. and I agree completely!!! Thanks for sharing what you love with us!!! Be safe my friend!
I have watched probably 100 of your videos over the years, and this is my favorite ever! Thank you for sharing your experimental gems with us! Your young helpers are learning a world from you. Very jealous!
Dont be jealous - just enjoy !
I want them all..😁😇 couldn't really decide which one as my favorite..all potentially beautiful and healthy.. Thx for sharing Peter, stay safe to all and can't wait for the next one.. cheers
Not only a bonsai master but also a life coach. You always give inspiration... more power Sir Peter.
I have both learned new things with this video AND been tested on what I've absorbed about where cuts might be made to achieve a variety of effects (focus on those clippers ) ...excellent instruction, thank-you so much!!
These are amazing trees. 🌱🌲🌿🌴🌵
Such a wise and calm tree whisperer
Happy Easter guys thank you 🙏🏾
Always a pleasure to hear from you...
Thanks Peter! Love your work! Please, take care of yourself these days!
Insaaaaaane! I’d give my left arm for any one of those trident maples. Wow!
Hi Peter. I have just started my own bonsai collection and have learnt a lot from your videos.
I purchased some pots online from you.
I had planed to visit Herons as you are about 40 miles from me, but for obvious reasons its on hold.
Thank you for the videos and the knowledge you have imparted I have learnt a lot.
Bonsai Illigan. Check out his channel. Unfortunately he'll not post more. Absorb as much information as you can like I did. I'm extremely appreciative that his family still keeps up the videos. Enjoy learning.
@@joseluismontes8380 stop spreading lies Wtf is wrong with you
Wow. Brilliant. Just amazing!
Thanks very much for this video. Just solves many questions about your beautiful nursery... please keep doing this ones!
Beautiful trees. A true labor of love over a very long time.
"This one is broken. That branch is broken..." **stomps on tree** classic 😂
we like to see everyday new videos thanks sir
I completely agree with you. Theres a lot of fun to be had experimenting.
Another beautiful Sunday morning with Peter.....Happy Easter to all...
Beautiful trident maples and field maple. Would love to have one of these in my collection one day. Thank you Peter for sharing.
iam always finding myself relax and joyful just watching your videos. im love planting especially bonsai, its very relaxing and good meditation finding your self very close to nature.
A feast for the eyes. Rows of trident maples displaying so much character. I wasn't expecting such a treat on Easter morning. Greetings from Paisano's Roost in Southern New Mexico.
Amazing job! See those trees are fascinating and inspiring. Wow. Happy Easter, stay safe!
I love every video ( lesson) he make for us. All the secrets he share with us, even some he shouldn't as this is he's business as well. I really appreciate everything you doing! I just don't understand how there could be people that give you thumb down or criticize you 🤬! Please keep doing the good things you are doing and God bless you! Happy Easter!
Thank you Peter
Trident is my favorite
The trees in this video are amazing
Beautiful video, tank"s so much
Hi Peter, The trident maples are my favorite here in PA. I have gotten rooting from semi-hardwood cuttings. Made me very very happy. My tridents have a long way to go to get to that size. Love the video. Thanks
Peter Chan is like the Jackie Chan of bonsai. Snip snap, tree pruned, snip snap bonsai ready. Great content like always ;)
Didn't you know he is my brother?
@@peterchan3100 You definitely know your bonsai kung fu.
Self knowledge is ultimate knowledge 💯
such a genius. truly amazing
Think it’s part 14 of breakfast with Peter.
Happy Easter
Stay safe
Stay well
Why Number 14 because I have produced so many Videos now? I am intrigued.
This is the 14th video you have posted on a Sunday morning just in time for me to enjoy breakfast with you since Christmas.
I’ve watched and enjoyed every video you’ve posted but the Sunday morning ones are great I actually sit waiting for them to be uploaded.
Stay well
Stay safe
Thanks for the vid
It was so informative and inviting
Makes you want to go outside and
Work on some trees.
Thanks Mr Chan
he said: 'Long labour of love' ... this man is an example.
We love you here in Augusta Georgia Peter.
Don't listen to them haters.
I'm not a huge fan of Trident maples but I'll definitely apply the principles you've shared to other trees I'm growing.
Absolutely fascinating. Please could we see them in leaf. ?
All are magnificent works of art.
Thank you. Please show these trees as the leaves develop throughout the year. And of course the fall colors!!
Thanks again Peter.
Lovely and so helpful!
I've decided to try something like this with one of the native maples, Acer rubrum I think, like you do with the English Field Maple. I cut back a thirty foot tree (8-9" diameter) that was growing up into a Pine tree, (and being out competed by it) and started digging it up. After several hours of digging a trench around it and cutting back the large radial roots I had to give up until the next day. Unfortunately it rained over night and the trench filled with water. Now I've been waiting about three weeks for the water to recede (it keeps raining every few days) so I can finish digging it up. Hopefully there are enough roots in the dirtball under the tree that the exposed tips of the radial roots will not hurt the tree. I'm considering backfilling the trench and waiting until next Spring to dig it up but I hate to waste all the labor that went into digging it. I've never done anything with a tree this big before. Thanks for the inspiration to try doing something with a tree of this size Peter!
Have been doing bonsai for a year thanks to peter whom makes the subject so very interesting ,norman b
Many beautiful trees, I always love these hollow features. Hope one day I will have a hollow bonsai myself. ☺️
I can imagine that it's hard to sell something that did not only grow in it's pot - but also in your heart (sorry for beeing so cheesy 😁😁).
Nice to be cheesy - shows that you feel with your heart.
Delightful! I can't help but wonder about the felled trees in the background!
They were the trees that fell down in the 3 bad storms we had in February
29:00 About "Inarching": I've been watching some videos on fruit tree "maintenance" and care, and one of the things I saw there was grafting quite big branches to anywhere on a tree. What they do is they take a relatively thick branch, about half an inch thick, strip it of the bark to about 1 inch from the bottom of the branch, and then drill a 1/2 inch hole in the trunk where they want that branch to be. They chamfer the whole a bit, and they make the edge of the bark on the branch to be at a 45° angle as well. Then they just stick the branch in. Also, the graft should not bee too long. I was looking forward to trying this myself. Damn the epidemic!
We used to call it a thread graft, fir obvious reasons, can also be used to repair a bad nebari.
13:30 is my fav 👌🏼
Hi Peter, beautiful trees as always.
A friend of mine has a 2,5m trident maple in his garden and it's growing too close to a wall of his house and said I can have it.
When would be the best season in which to remove it, and also best time to trunk chop it so I can force buds on it?
Thank you 😀
Hello to everyone. I'm still don't understand, how you can get tree like this to the smaller pot. When tree like this are in big containers, they have too many strong and big roots. And bonsai pots are so small. You cut every strong roots and put that to bonsai pot in one grow season, or in two, three or more? Thank you for the opportunity to learn new things and new ways of thinking about trees. Greetings from Czech Republic.
That root to rock story had me @ wow!-on how He can manage to make the Nabari with whole separate tree (crafting I suppose)& totally pull it off.
Hello Peter
It is always nice to see you in action pruning and repotting. I just wonder if you can do a video about diseases on maples. Have you ever had problem with diseases on the trees? Pseudomonas syringae or Verticillium wilt? I struggle to keep red and yellow barks alive. The turn black in a patchy way and eventually dies. I live in south of Sweden (EU hardiness zone 7)
One more thing, Can you air layer Tsuga canadensis and Chamaecyparis lawsoniana "Wissel's Saguaro" ?
Thank you for posting videos to keep us happy during this hard time! Be safe.
Difficult one as I am not a plant virologist. Some Japanese Maples do die from verticillium wilt but I dont understand what causes this.
How do ever keep track of so many trees?! But u do😊. Hope you continue to learn more from those 50 imports and to show us their progress❤️
Please do not listen to jerks who make NEGATIVE comments about you or your strategy. There seems to be a method to your madness. Thank You for making these videos and teaching us something every single time. At least I really appreciate the effort.
Hello Master Chan and friends. I am 72 years old and just starting my bonsai journey. Hoping I will learn patience ! But would still like to see some development in my little trees
Its never too late to start doing bonsai. Its about enjoyment - so long as you enjoy it -do it now.
Any thoughts about what kind of trees to choose? I am practicing on some box, juniper and azalea from the garden store, and some juniper “mallsai “
Thank you for another great video!
It's strange that people comment on other people's pruning (without being asked).
Ps. Would it still be possible to see the repotting of the field maple? I would be really interesting to see what kind of roots it has.
Peter, have you seen the underside of that former root-over-rock tree to see how much of the rock you can see from that point of view?
Very difficult to discover what is underneath.
Peter.. my virtual bestie

I wish I had the money for one of those tridents!
Is that just 1 tree or a trunk fusion
Could you please explain the long term effect of in arching, I haven’t heard of it until a few of your videos so am interested in the long term resulting look
Thanks
Rob
I hope to show you this technique in Summer on a Trident maple
peter
Thankyou, I really enjoy your videos and I really hope that you don’t loose your joy of Bonsai.
Take care
Rob
Happy Easter Peter!
Peter do you have pictures of the original batch of trident stumps? It would be nice to see evolution over the years.
Do you ever bother with Trident maple cultivars?
I may have them as 35mm slides but hard to find pics from 1990
❤️❤️❤️
Consider seriously to use a lavalier wireless system because in some points of the videos we can't hear anything.
For example Rode wireless go with the lavalier go
Do you start the big ones in the ground???
I been watching your show and I never get tired watching it! I particularly love your deshojo maples! I was wondering do you ship to California?
Sadly - NO. Shipping to USA is very very difficult.
Ciao, quanto costa un acero di quelli che ho visto nel video?
I wanna know how old some of these trees are! He says "this is a very old tree" but how old? I cant believe the age of some of them and its awesome how long some of them have been training to be bonsai. Tell me please :)
Hi Peter, I would love to hear you talk about Dawn Redwoods.
Same! Just bought a small forest of them.
Amazon video 😍🙏
I recently found 2 trident maples at our local nursery in San Juan, PR... anyone know if these will thrive here or am i doomed to fail without winter dormancy?
depends on tree and species, but hardwood cuttings ROUGHLY work about 50-70% of the time, given the correct circumstances such as weather/watering habits/sun exposure bla bla
I have had success with a few Florida maples (acer barbatum). In February I collected an 8' tree with a 2" trunk which I chopped down to 8". I then cut up the "cutting" into 2 and stuck them into some spagnum moss. It's now mid April and to my surprise, both hardwood cuttings have small roots.
They grow very rapidly. This one is 30 years old. Lol. It's all relative!
Tradução Pará o português do Brasil GRATIDÃO 🙏👏💓
Peters next book: Peter Chan's Big Book of Experiments!
Hi ! Great video. Is it the right time to begin air layer or not ?
Best time is now,.
I think I’m gonna bonsai a palm tree since I live in Florida.
What would a trident like these cost?
Do you never seal the cuts with some kind of sealant on such big trees? Maybe it's not needed this time of the year or for this species of tree? (Also: Is petroleum jelly an okay wound sealant for trees?)
I seal all wounds larger than 1/2 inch. Petroleum jelly is ok, although doesn't last long in the rain, try wood glue, or a 'proper' wood sealant for best results.
If the tree is growing strongly I dont seal. Sealing helps to callous quicker though.
In you book The Bonsai Bible you mention Totara, do you have any of those on the nursery?
"Totara" where did I mention this? What page on that book?
@@peterchan3100 I don't recall the page number, the book is at the local Library. It was a section describing Podocarpus species, Totara is P. nivalis
How much are one of those maple cost in US dollar?
How can I get bonsai material, can I find plants online
Snowing in Denver.
I wish I could be experienced enough to cut what looks to be at random and end up with good results.
how much would one of the thicker trunks sell for pls
Greeting from me beginners of hoby bonsai
Hi Mr Chan, I am from Portugal and I would like to know if it is possible to have a seedling of maple for beginners, maple beni chidori, thank you and beautiful videos.
All our Benichidoris are old ones We do from air layering.
@@peterchan3100 Thank you very much
Thank #You Very Much
