This man understands Ikigai, he lives it. He understands that ten years is just time. Perhaps the bigger picture here is not the bonsais but rather what we can learn….. patience, understanding that Mother Nature runs on her clock not ours. I really appreciate his enthusiasm & energy.
Thank you Peter for the years of fascinating and informative videos. Be interesting to know the story of how you found your huge site and started your business.
I have three vining honeysuckle bonsai that I dug up when clearing overgrown brush from my daughter’s property. Two are large cuttings styled as literati, the third is the wide stump that the cuttings came from. The are considered an invasive weed in North Carolina and this particular one had grown on a telephone pole. It completely enveloped the pole and had grown into the wires. Bonsai from weeds!
I used to have a massive Wisteria Vine that was gorgeous with a huge trunk. I used to live on a piece of wooded property and would dig up all types of little trees and tried to make them into Bonsia's with some decent luck. I lived close to a huge Commercial Bonsai nursery and would go and buy a few things and just enjoying looking. They had some ancient stuff as well that was gorgeous and extremely expensive. I moved and stopped my lil hobby but now that I am retired I am going to take as some classes and get up to speed. I really enjoyed it and loved experimenting with ideas. Watch this is so relaxing and joyful. I am ready to buy the supplies and tools and do it until I die. My plants will go to friends and family. Love this stuff. It's magical.
Hi Peter I have a number of honeysuckle trees some from my mother plant in the border,as you say there are a number of different cultivars of these plants. Cuttings I have placed in water and they root readily, I have rooted trunks up to over an inch in diameter in water and they have taken ok, take a bit longer but they will root, as you say they do have a tendency to rot if this happens I use super glue to harden the soft areas and they are fine. One reason I like working them is they almost grow overnight, if I am feeling down I know I can lose my self in pruning one or other so lifting my spirits. They are great trees for beginners to use being very hardy and growing so vigorously. Thank you for the video on a species that tends to be sniffed at by a lot of bonsai collectors.
Love the video. Thank you Mr. Chan. Very much enjoyed your videos from Tiawan. Found a small native honeysuckle growing in my woods. It is a lovely mamei that has a human form with it's arms thrown up in joy. So fun and whimsical.
I hate to be critical about any of Peters beautiful work but I wish the camera wouldn't drift off what is being described so brilliantly. It's a technical thing I know, I just want to get a proper eyeful.
Never in all of my years, 70 today as a matter of fact, have I ever seen such robust, energetic, not nambi pambi bonsai creation!! :) Who knew how much aerobic exercise was involved. Great video. Informative.
Your videos have inspired me so much. I've found a small hazel in my collection of forgotten pots and it's now been pruned down with the cuttings put in a new pot. This time next year I hope to have several tiny bonsais.
Peter, I love your channel. Would you please do a video on digging up the privet or honeysuckle like the ones you’re working on in this video. I’ve tried several times to dig them up but they all die. I would like to see your process of digging them up. 😊
Japanese honeysuckle is considered an invasive species in some US states. It chokes the native bushes and trees. Itlife should be indeed limited to a bonsai tree, in a strictly controlled environment. Wonderful video, thank you and Happy New Year!
My entire property is covered with honeysuckle!!! Well.... looks like I need 200 more pots lol. Great video! I learned so much from this. I was just going to cut them all down.
You have a massive amount of some cool Honeysuckle. I wonder with that cool dead stump, could you use it in a forest setting of Honeysuckle in the background? Just a thought.
I have some honeysuckle and native privy that I'm getting ready to move into pots. They make nice little bonsai and not a huge amount of work to them. No limits to what can become a beautiful bonsai.
Wow! What fascinating and inspiring video @Heron’s Bonsai Peter Chan. I have a fairly big example in my garden that started life as a cutting some 30 years ago. It’s now 4 feet tall (trimmed in a dome top most of its life) the trunk base is about 6” and looks to be a multi trunk. When would be a good time to cut down in preparation for digging up in the spring?
_🙏 😔 🙏 THANK YOU 🙏 😔 🙏 _ Dr. Chan, any video that you do, there is much to be "gotten" from it. You have _lived_ Bonsai while others, like myself, only play. Your knowledge and courage are vast. You are willing to _start over,_ something I have "re-learned" from you, and is a lesson well applied to _life._ Something amazing, to me anyway, as I am watching the video this morning, it is "blowing" here on the Gulf Coast. For a monent I did not know where I was hearing the wind from. We are still dry, as I said it is "blowing", not much rain at all. Coincidence? 😊 I know, I know, you just took us to Taiwan, but a suggestion / question, when can we go to Japan, again? 🙏😔🙏 _🙏😔 🙏 A HAPPY, SAFE AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR TO ALL ❗ ❗ ❗ 🙏😔🙏_ 🌲🙏🖖 🙏😔🙏🌲
@@dalespringerwilson4233 it's like trying to practice the fine art of calligraphy with a stone, like trying to slice a cucumber with your finger nails. It's totally inaccurate, damaging and as you can see the hammer didn't achieve anything here. Trees need respect with steady and careful handling 🙏
I would love to see your bonsai farm. I'd be unable to even sleep just thinking about all the bonsai stuff that could be worked. Would you consider adopting me? Think about it please. ,🙏🫶🏻😁

I promise to do a video about this in the coming year.

I just have started to do the same! I'm in the Atlanta area
I'm growing a hedge honeysuckle that I cut back last fall. Great video, Peter.

Sir Peter being Sir Peter!
Awesome!!!
And it's hard not to giggle with Josh. Lol
So happy everytime I see a post from heron's! Dreaming of such a nursery one day😮 Love the vibe of these videos so much❤
Honeysuckle has been a great plant for me to propagate and sell cheers

I am sure others will be encouraged by what you have shared. They really are easy to propagate and they grow fast.
Ah, what a nice start to the year. I like that your videos are coming more sooner to the recording, just a week after in this case ❤❤❤
Wow! Peter went full on savage with the last ones! 😂👍
Love the video. Thank you Mr. Chan. Very much enjoyed your videos from Tiawan. Found a small native honeysuckle growing in my woods. It is a lovely mamei that has a human form with it's arms thrown up in joy. So fun and whimsical.

Wahnsinn, bin begeistert. So eine Ausbeute von nur einem Topf. Versuche ich auch
I have a HUGE honeysuckle I dug from my back yard that I have turned into bonsai. They are highly invasive here and nearly impossible to get rid of.
Never in all of my years, 70 today as a matter of fact, have I ever seen such robust, energetic, not nambi pambi bonsai creation!! :) Who knew how much aerobic exercise was involved. Great video. Informative.
Thx for sharing Peter 👍

Very enjoyable video😊
Happy new year Peter!
Hey Guys ; Luvtha way y'all went "John Wick" on that poor little honey suckel..!!! LMAO 🤣😂😂😂 Awesome episode much Luv from Jacksonville FLORIDA ✌️🖖
I love to watch you making trees
I've one of these which was stated from a pencil thick hedge cutting rooted in a glass of water on the kitchen windowsill.
I have some honeysuckle and native privy that I'm getting ready to move into pots. They make nice little bonsai and not a huge amount of work to them. No limits to what can become a beautiful bonsai.
Let's take a moment to apreciate that wonderfull blouse mr Chan is wearing in 2024 !

Senang sekali melihat prores pembuatan bonsai langsung... Ikut belajar..... Semoga sehat & sukses selalu pak....
Nice vídeo 👍
Carnage in Kent...lol... Enjoyed watching.
when would it be best to uproot a lonercia bush and put in large training pot without greenhouse
So now you're using the cut-and-grow technique of Milton Chan. Interesting.
Cut and grow method doesn't belong to anyone - its an age old practice.
Most entertaining Peter. It's good to see experts struggling, sorry!

Please dont use hammers on trees 🙏
Why not ?

This has nothing to do with bonsai.
How do you figure?
I would love to see your bonsai farm. I'd be unable to even sleep just thinking about all the bonsai stuff that could be worked. Would you consider adopting me? Think about it please. ,🙏🫶🏻😁
Ha Ha !
@@peterchan3100 Well that didn't take long for an adoption decision. 😂
He might still be in luck - you never know.

Mr. Chan, thank you for sharing your love, dedication and knowledge. I’m 75, just starting my bonsai experience and learning so much from you.
Nikdy neni pozde. Preji hodne zabavy s timto hobby. Prinese vam jiste mnoho stastnych chvil
