We are so lucky that you are willing to share your experience.
He reminds me very much of my neighbour, growing up. Except he was Portuguese and his deal was grafting. Granny, Mac, Delicious apple tree in one corner, and a peach, plum in another. Grape vines everywhere.. Wasted nothing. His fence posts and gate were recycled pipes. Showed me how to make wine over the course of my 10th year. His vegetable gardens were a work of art. Dude always had a kind word and would explain anything he was working on in excellent detail.
Thank you, Mr.Chen for all your teaching, I am just starting my journey into Bonsai and haven't much money so I appreciate all your money-saving tips. I like how you use less than perfect trees in your lessons for those are the trees I can afford. Again Thank You, Mr.Chen you are appreciated.
In the fall there can be great deals on the Charlie Brown trees nobody wants, you can also as your nursery or Home Depot type store if they have any damaged trees, most times they put them in a separate area till they heal but they sell them pretty discounted so visit often and be their friend so they tell you about the new stuff.
Jpc 11 same!
How’s it going with your bonsai journey?
Beautiful video! Your conversational style is perfect! You make the viewer feel like you are talking just to them. The common sense you teach is not only good for bonsai. Thank-you for the wonderful videos!
Thank you for your feedback - it helps me to gauge what my viewers like or dislike.
" It's not a bad - little tree- it just needs some love" Charlie Brown!
I have been fascinated with Bonsai all my life but never explored it due to believing it was too expensive to achieve any masterpieces .. thank you for showing us how to make treasures for any garden.. these videos i just discovered of your work make my heart jump .. wonderful work and excellent knowledge
Thank you for giving me something to watch besides virus hysteria.
Much needed.
Many people online who are stuck at home ask for suggestions for things to do and watch.
I point them to your videos and say
"If you can't go outside where you live look at Peter Chan's gardens."
I have so many trees I clipped wires on, they were starting to cut in early spring, now I have a LOT of wiring to do so I fill my time pretty well between Bonsai and my Sailboat.
@@steveanacorteswa3979 Thanks to much cutting in the fall I have a great deal of material this spring.
Better too much material than to little. Good times.
People always give funny looks when I say I re-use wire. I’ve had the same two rolls of 2 & 3mm wires for almost 10 years
I assume this is only possible with copper wire, as my aluminium wire breaks when bent to much. I read somewhere that copper-wire will harden up when bent. Is that not a challenge when reusing wire?
@@syltis1994 you can re-anneal it with heat. after annealing, you can also twist it with a hand drill and a good anchor point and you can straighten if you need a really straight and hardened piece, for some reason. the trick with the hand drill can become dangerous if you don't have a good anchor and/or the wire has hardened to much (as it can spring back and do serious havoc). I always make sure that the wire is soft. Some insane people do it with soft steel wire and, for some reason, the wire didn't exploded. I consider that risky.
the hardening process is what makes the wire durable, as reduces plastic deformation, but also increases the risk of brittle fracture. I have no experience with aluminium wire, but maybe it's because it hardens to much, or it could happen because the wire loss to much material in some place. if it happens because hardening, annealing should solve it. if not, well, it scrap then.
And all this time I've wasted mine. But there are certain moments when a trees branches are just too delicate to unwind for me.
@@giuseppebonatici7169 great idea, thanks.
@@matthewmuller7429 Yes, if it's a large branch I unwind, on my maples and small branches no way, I cut it off, I have a huge pile, don't know if it can be recycled but it looks cool, maybe cast it in resin as art.
My motto is fix what's broken and buy less often...the planet would be a way better place for all life forms...I learn so much from this guy.
Thank you - nice to know that you share my philosophy or less waste.
"every tree has potential"
...another pearl of wisdom in another masterclass
learnt so much once again
Every single peace of your speak is helpful. So much love from Serbia ❤️
Beautiful! Thank you Sir.
For anyone criticizing this gentleman's work, you are wasting your time. His genius and the decisions made are like the moves of a professional chess player, at least five to ten years ahead of your perception.
Thanks to your videos. I now have 2 bonsai. A Japanese Maple and a Chir Pine. 😊
I don't know who's criticizing your magic. I find it very relaxing and enjoy seeing the process. I'd like to do it myself this spring.
Ok that wire trick has made my day. Thank you
Watching your video is like diving into sea of knowledge !!! Lots of love from india 😊
I wish I could come over and straighten all of your wires in exchange for your knowledge!
I’ll be honest I started bonsai about 1 year ago now at 17 years old and I didn’t really take too much notice of my trees the one I forgot about completely and unfortunately didn’t survive but I now have a seed grown ash and maple tree and my Chinese elm survived my lack of care, after finding this Channel and seeing the passion that this man has for these trees has helped me to find my love and passion for them also, over these past coming months I’ve discovered the true art and possibilities of bonsai and have found my trees very therapeutic to work on, if you were to meet me you’d think I’d want nothing to do with the hobby because of my crowd/appearance with the judgmental attitudes that most in Britain have today but this has made me realise that people are so wrong no matter who your are what your crowds like rough or wealthy this hobby is for anyone so I’d like to thank not just peter who explains everything but to everyone you see in these videos for helping me find my passion for bonsai and encouraging others like me to take it up I’m now 18 And hope to carry this on til 88 thank you all once again
Thank you Arron - if you could visit our Nursery after the lockdown - I would love to meet you. Nice to meet a young person who has a passion for bonsai.
I am amazed at what you are able to create from trees that I initially see so little potential from. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
I collected seeds from local Scots pines in my area and to my surprise almost all germinated and are now into their 3rd year. I've put (re-used) wire on most of them this year and it looks like I will have several trees to work on in the coming years. I have given several away as gifts due to having so many. If you like pines then give it a go if you have any growing near you. I just put the seeds in seedling compost in the autumn and left them outside.
A fine Future pine bonsai indeed, Thx for sharing Peter and can't wait for the next one.. stay safe to all..cheers😇
I'm impressed to see you reuse the wire. I've been doing it too rather hesitantly.
You can even straighten thicker wire by annealing it gently over a flame and straighten it
Hot cross buns in the toaster, coffee in the cafetiere, Peter on the telly!
I have doing bonsai for so long....I must say, I still love the natural beauty of an untrained white pine, and acer palmatums. So naturally beautiful with zero pruning. All good but that thick bushy white pine to me is a thing of absolute beauty.
Mr. Chan, I love to see all that you do at your nursery. You have great energy.
Oh man the bottle brush reference 😂 now I cannot forget it!!
The little Pine tree came out so VERY VERY Beautiful
I am going into the woods tomorrow and dig out a pine to make a bonsai myself ☺️❤️
did you do it? im going tomorrow :D
Peter ,brilliant way to straighten wire , you are a genius.
I enjoyed the pine video very much. It is nice to be ”talked” to rather than to be ”talked” at. Thank you!
Best part about Master Chans videos, he doesn't stop working to talk, there is no wasted time, Peter is never "Greedy" with our time, why I always enjoy them.
Just started with bonsai. Haven’t bought anything thus far, using the things I have laying around. copper wire mostly. When stripped copper looks nice I think. I love working with pine!
Wonderful, I'm going to make bonsai from all my local Scottish trees, birch, pine Rowan.
Hello. Thank you for this video from Turkey!
"I never really liked pines" I didn't either, until I saw a Japanese 5 needle on one of your videos on its own roots. That made me like pines
Thank you for all your amazing and valuable tips that you give us for free!
(Just started doing Bonsai as of spring 2021) I just found a bunch of baby pines around the yard and out front. Didn't even think of it tell I saw one then realized they were everywhere. I probably have 20 plus baby pines. Hopefully they survive. Plus thank you for that wire trick I got a box for all the wire I'll probably one day have!
Você é o melhor professor de bonsai que vi até hoje muito bem explicado parabéns 🇧🇷
The people say this is not a masterpice should know that for create a "masterpice" you must start from a very joung plat work on it for at last 50 years and if you are a bonsai master you obtain a "masterpice". I'm a simple man that enjoy have some nice plants and work on it, for me your tutorials are amazin and help me to devolop new skils.
Sorry for my bad english.
Thank you for your comment - your English is very good. I would not be able to communicate in your language
He is so cute, this video was so relaxing to watch :') I just got my first 2 bonsais from seeds, they're still germinating so still a long process to go... but I hope they survive and grow so I can follow your advice and videos!
how is it now
Happy to be the first to thank you for your amazing work Peter!!
Brother you are an inspiration to me and many more people
I want to plant/ having a bonsai then I saw this vid its very helpful and easy to understand thabk you ❤
Thank you that was most informative and I gladly appreciate you sharing your knowledge and wisdom
You are truly a master. Your videos are beautiful gifts. Thank you & All the Best.... Steve in NM/USA
Thanks much for the lesson
I like the idea of buying a bonsai from you but also having its creation video on youtube to watch. Adds a bit of story to the trees life.
Yes we do sell the trees I make on my videos. Many in fact have been sold. Tell me which one? Is it this one ? Email our office
peter chan - Someday Peter! Currently in college so money a bit stretched at the moment.
thank you om.. for the inspiration on how to tidy up bonsai so that it becomes character..
I appreciate you showing us this technique!
Peter you are a gem!!!
3:51 I saw that there is a big rock on the right of your desk for putting several bonsais on it. Could you make a video to show us how ? 😃
Thanks for reminding me. I will do that in the next couple of weeks.
peter chan Thanks ! :)
That be awesome to see if not buy something with so much character.
Another wonderful video! Thank you, Sir!! I will add small pines to my nursery visits! Really appreciate you showing each step, as well. It helps so much when we actually try to make our own!
He makes this look easy!
what a legend!
I love that I can hear you now in your videos and I thank you and appreciate you for sharing all your knowledge for free
This little pine I dug up from my sister's walking path grows so fast and vigorous. It has tripled in size in one year. All the back budding is amazing. Thank you for all your instructions.
Thank you for all your wonderful work and educational videos 🙏✂️🌳♥️
17 weeks now of Sunday breakfast with Peter.
As an electrician I always straighten and reuse wire.
Old electrical cable get stripped by hand and annealed on the bbq saves me £££££££££’s
Stay safe stay well all.
My son just started Friday as an electrician. As an apprentice I think. I see a great future for my trees. And my son of course.🙂
Like! others, I just want to say - thank you! Your video's are a meditative moment for me. We are truly blessed to not only learn some amazing skills but also, witness the Wisdom Of Your Experience and the Beauty of your talent. Thank you!
Beautiful tree love it
Really! Thumbs down for free tuition from humble greatness? Some people huh!!! I am hooked!
..just have a film crew follow you around constantly, and we'll be happy :D
another way to straighten wire is use pliers both ends of the wire and pull as hard and fast as you can..works even better if you lay it in the sun for a few min to warm it up
Amazing tips! Thank you so much.
It"s great that you re-use wire there is too much waste in this world,looking forward to visiting your nursery when the lockdown ends.
Look forward to seeing your old Larch budding on old wood 👍
There is a Larch video coming soon. I made it over a month ago. Too many videos in the pipeline
@@peterchan3100 no such thing as too many videos from you!
I really like your videos and your wunderful work. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from germany😊
So sweet of you Peter!
Thanks Mr Chan for a very useful video!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Really good. Lots of tips. Thank you
Love the wire straightener trick!😂
Subscribed, I love your videos and I’ve started to become a bonsai apprentice and watch all your videos. I sell them now and make quite a bit of money here in Japan. Thank you !
Great video as always.
l can see three branches half way up that are at one junction on the trunk.
l believe the 3 branches should be reduced to 2 to reduce trunk swelling and chance of inverse taper.
Otherwise will be great in the future.
Bonsai is so peaceful and Zen. Step one: stab it in the heart and slice it down the spine!
such a generous teacher! thank you for another great video and glimpse into the artist's workshop!
I absolutely love these videos... Always learn new techniques and respect for the materiais, both living and tools!
Perfect video. I have been growing a U.S. coastal redwood, and this video helps a lot
those wire tips! great stuff
I would love to see a video about when and how to remove wire. And also rewiring. Thanks for the wonderful videos. You are a great teacher.
"Pull it. on a piece of metal-wood and there you are - you have a piece of wire absolutely straight" Kudos to the bonsai master who always has wood on his mind. :)
In the beginning I couldn't really envision this as a bonsai but of course I knew I would be shown otherwise. 😁 Even if the tree still has to grow into its full potential it already looks really nice. ☺️ So this was very helpful. 👍
Peter, I straighten wire by chucking one end in a drill, and putting the other end into a vice. When you turn the drill, it straightens the wire right up!
Ive never tried that.
Thank you for telling to reuse wire! Other bonsai teachers should do that too! To me reused wire works as well as new wire!!!
Thanks for the video Peter, I love my pines and picea, my picea are growing their 2nd season needles and it's hard not to be amazed at what I cut up and looked like an ugly tree now look amazing, pads are filling in, over 100 trees now and 100 babies I grew from seed with another 50 in the grow light, don't know where I will put them all but it's fun for now, really had some great luck using dollar store plastic colanders, my seedlings really seem to get a nice boost and more fine roots instead of just a tap root, mixed bonsai soil and sphagnum, they REALLY like the moss and had to pull the fine roots from it, I may try wrapping the first nebari level of roots just for that reason to see how it works. Was hoping to do the Bristlecones this year but California isn't going to open anytime soon, maybe we can do a "Peter in the Pines" Bonsai class there, the fish hatchery in Bishop (base camp) is just beautiful, large ponds and giant trout.
I always like to hear what you are unto with your trees.
@@peterchan3100 I just dug up 16 baby maples from under a tree, now you have me hooked on maples
imma go out to the forest tomorrow and get myself a bonsai pine lol
Thank you Mr. Chan. May you, your family and staff, stay well.
Cool wire straightening trick.
Thanks for the bonsai lesson
Great wire straightening technique
Greetings from Brazil. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, it has been very useful. You are a true Sensei.
Hello Mr. Chen, Could I please become your apprentice? I have always loved and grown plants but I have recently grown an deep fascination for Bonsai and I can tell you are a great teacher and have a lot to teach. I am a great student and fast learner!
Very nice video. Thx you !
Great stuff, it looks brilliant.
Happy trees
I love your work
Love your work. You are amazing
Hi Peter great demo. Can you pls show us some demos how to create shohin bonsai? In today's increasingly more dense accommodation living in cities, most young people only have balconies to grow small bonsais. Appreciate if you can share some info on shohin growing tips. Thanks.
OMG! It's a Charlie Brown Christmas tree!
Terimakasih sudah berbagi teori soal bonsai pak.
Wow. Thanks for the trick with the chair!
How long do you usually leave the wires in place at a time? Nice video, thanks.
