That shirt, that hood, that hat... can we all take a minute and appreciate Peter's sense of fashion! OG
If you dress like that in the U.S. they hand you 5 bucks and thank you for your service.
"Ramification, to put it simply, it's just a question of pruning the long shoots and forcing side shoots to grow."
Excellent advice for everyone! Thanks Peter.
Your wisdom and kind narrative are appreciated sir, hats off to you
Quite Litterally, take off the hat, you can still sell it with the tag on there. 😉
Peter is so enthusiastic that he even works on Chinese New Year ! What a blessing for him, and his viewers !
I got my first bonsi today and I’m so excited that I’m watching all your videos,, I love the way you talk to us and explain so well ,, I love plants so much , so my kids bought me a bonsi today for my Birthday,, thank you so much for your advices .. now I know who to looking for in case I have any problems..
Smashing Peter! Very engaging. Your down to earth naturalness is very plesantly refreshing 🙏
One awesome gentleman, thanks Peter
Glove on the left hand for protection. You taught us that.
Those pines in the first part of the video are stunning!
Totally agree.
I always learn something from your videos, but I appreciate most of all your efforts to demystify the practical aspects of bonsai, making the active participation in this art form more accessible and affordable for people. Thanks so much! ❤
Enjoyed this with my tea and biscuits
It is Zero today... while l await spring in joyful hope, l will prepare in a week or two. Of course my garden is much much smaller than yours.
Happy New Year
Very reasonably priced beanie hat, Peter, as the tag tells us lol
Good morning Folks 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Always an absolute pleasure to spend time with you rambling around the nursery and giving us a guided tour. We are near Lingfield on 16th April for my partner David’s birthday, again after visiting Wisley the day before. Hope we get an opportunity to drop by before our overnight stay at Hever Castle.
We would love to see you and David again.
@@peterchan3100 I’m sure I can make this happen. We might be at the nursery perhaps about 11am, on 16th April. If you are around it would be great to say hello.
Thank you sir, you videos have enlightened and inspired so many people myself included
Thank you Master Chan I recently just finally got your book 📖 last month I ordered it since August and it was well Well worth the wait!! Thank you sir for your knowledge and wisdom from Houston, Tx USA 🇺🇸
Sorry for the delay my friend - glad you like the book.
@@peterchan3100 it was signed by you and the crew I love it yes sir thank you again for everything🥹
Looking forward to another year of wonderful videos and creating projects and following through on old ones.
Beautiful and inspiring channel full of wisdom and beauty.
I wish I could follow you around with a basket to bad there’s a big pond between us cheers 😊
This is so wonderful and informative. Trust the process. Love it.
Thank you as always. You rock.
You had me at the hat tag Peter. So cute. Always looking forward to your videos.
Thank you for more inspiration. Looking forward to another year of deepening my Bonsai skills and enjoying my favourite hobby.
Freezn'... I like that southern accent Peter.
You have been such a joy to watch. Always very relaxing and interesting.
Thank you again for a lovely video! It was full of great knowledge and information as usual! I think I have to wait a few more months here in Finland before I can dig out my trees from the snow. Cheers! Mika
Great video my friend! 👍
I learn something new & interesting every video. Thanks for sharing your time & knowledge for free!
I'm so glad you spoke about your air layered magnolia. I've a few more to start this year. Hopefully I can sell the 7 I already have.
As always a delight watching your vids, thank you so much Mr.Chan.
Lovely to see kitchen tools for bonsai 👍🏻 now I won’t hanker after expensive imported ones
Clever move to leave the tag on your hat. Put it back out for sale. 🤪 Must get back to Herons again. 👍🏼
We missed you, Peter. Happy Chinese New Year. I can't believe how similar your weather is to ours here in western Oregon--typically mild but we also had a similar cold spell recently. Kudos to your camera person for showing us up close photos of the conifers. They're so gorgeous! Thank you for the tip on pruning the maples. I need to get busy with mine. So much to do!
Outfit looking fresh!
I'm so excited for spring! Thanks so much for the tips and reminders. Also great apparel you have there! 👕🥳
Thank you for your awesome ideas, don't need to buy expensive tools.
Have a great day. 🙂
Nice video Peter, I have a bunch of rebar, I need to make some tools.
Just love this man. :)
Thx for sharing Peter 👍
Always amazing!
Happy New Year Master, I put on my Hawaiian shirts to watch your videos with my Bonsai tree nearby. :)
Thank you for more inspiration
Your preparation is amazing! Thanks for the reminder👍🏻 Hope you had a great start into 2023🍀
His inventory is overwhelming ! I wonder if any of the bonsai pots crack when the soil in them freezes
Thank you, Peter!
The blacksmith from India also make branch cutters and more from rebars.
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 thanks Peter
I have also the habits to fertilize with solid fertilizer in genuary and february. But much less that in spring ! You can add later... not do it all at once as i saw in your video.
Always ‘the felco’ sits on my belt ready for action. I’ve had a pair for 20 years.
9:45 Giving away the cuttings for free is smart. It means one more happy customer and one pot sold in the future.
I think you should think about relocation done somewhere a little bit more warmer here in Devon or Dorset away from all that noise it would do your health much better too because the air down here is so much better than up there
Happy new year Peter!!
The 22nd was my bday!!!!
Love Sunday morning videos. Perfect x
Well technically morning for me (hello from 1:43 am :) )
European yews can get brown also. But I only saw it once
So good😀
It’s the tag on the hat for me 😂
New Peter Chan hat £20. Used Peter Chan hat £75 😊
I will sell that £75 one to you.
@@peterchan3100 .. haha. Thanks Peter. It would be an honor to wear it. I’ll be on the next plane from New York 😀
@@mattbrennan647 If you take the trouble to visit Herons - I will gift that Beanie hat to you.
@@peterchan3100 ,,, believe me Peter there’s no place I’d rather visit. It’s on the very top of my bucket list.
Have you left the price ticket on your hat?
Can i buy That cotton beanie ? when you come to holland on the 11 of march 😂 greetings and big thanks for everything ..
I will bring some with me when I come to Holland.
Hi Peter great to see your well, question, if I am going to airlayer a maple (acer) this spring should I prune now or leave it alone.
kind regards
John
Hey john
I know you were asking Peter but in my experience it's better to leave as much green as possible for airlayer to be successful and then prune after you separate from the parent tree. Best of luck.
Leave it alone as the more leaves you have, the stronger the air layer will be.
Mr. Chan,,
What if any Advice on the
Wollemi pine tree would you be able to give oneself,, it would be greatly appreciated kind sir
I have seen that pine but it would be very difficult to make a bonsai from that species
On a video from several months ago about re-potting, you mentioned a sandy/loam, alpine soil you called "jonneness 2 or 3" . Probably spelled wrong, but I wonder if anyone knows what this is.
John Innes No.1 No.2 and No.3. These are standard composts which were used a lot in the UK in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. Some compost makers still produce it.
the pines in 3:05 look so realictic, the pads are as rough and uneven as in nature. The japanese guys would probably call this like "not established tree" but I like rather this.
Nice video peter good info. I have a question a live in the US and its winter here but this week its almost going up to 60 degrees f. I want to do an approach graft to my japanese black pine , should i wait till it gets colder again or do u think i will run into sap problems because of a week of warm weather?
Hi how much is awakawa maple ??? Thanks
Peter, one of my chores this spring is getting ready for air layering a few trees. One species in particular that I want to layer is Taxus baccata. What is your experience air layering yews and what is the best time? Various internet sites seem to vary a lot in their recommendations so I beg your wisdom on this. I already have my NZ spagnum moss, plastics film, hormone, and wire so just need any tips you can offer.
Also my J. larch have started to bud out already since we have had a warm January. How sensitive to freezes are the young buds on larch?
Yew is fairly easy to air layer
What a G. Gang gang 🌳
What do you use to fertilize your trees? It looks like some sort of pelletized organic product.
A cocktail of rape seed-&chicken manure
Dear Editor, please please buy a microphone for Peter!
🎙
Namaste Peter
U were in India
U posted shorts
I wish I cud have met u in person
May be next time
has anyone done an air layering on a cherry blossom tree?
Cherry blossom is difficult to air layer - they dont root easily. But do give it a go.
👍👌👌🙂
‘Now where did I put that name tag?’
I think that you should move down to Devon Dorset and get away from all that noise and pollution up there. Your trees would be happier down here. I think I know you certainly would. You deserve some peace and quiet and relaxation for a change all that background noise can’t be doing anyone any good.
Regrettably not as action packed as usual but you can't always get what you want.
Wow I didnt know Indian people scrape their tongue with stainless steel!
Happy New Year
