I’m ever so grateful for these tours in the greenhouse, giving us tips on how to improve our trees. Thank you, Peter!
I don't think Josh gets enough props, nice work josh!
“So all our projects survived” I wish I could say that ;-) Thanks
That remains to be seen for me.....
Thank you for showing the tree closer up, cameraman :)
Keep up the great work Peter, I have really learnt so much from you.
Today I made a "convincing" little tree from some old cotoneaster. Once I pruned, wired and mossed it, I wanted to run and show the teacher. (Peter!) I am a middle aged woman...my children think I've lost my mind! Genuinely grateful for all you do Peter. Thanks from Scotland.
So I’ve added 2 inches to this tree! 🤣 cuts 9 inches off! We love you Peter!
14.52 and as a beekeeper, I am pleased to hear (though not surprised) that you care for the bees!
So many maples 😘, what a sight to sore quarantined eyes. Can't wait to see some update of your past projects. Thx for sharing Peter 👍..cheers
I find that my constant handling of my maples is counter to Peter's methods of letting maples grow out for a year or more.
As a life lesson, today I resolve to be more patient.
I learn more every time I watch.
Sunday Breakfast with Peter.
Well worth the 2 hr wait for the video to be uploaded, As I’ve said before I love all your videos but especially your Maple ones.
How often do you look at a tree and think I simply can’t sell that one.
It's so amazing to watch all of those video, got a lot of idea and a lot of advice, I live now in Nederland, and i just start with bonsai ,i do not have a lot, but all of my life i always loved Bonsai, because it's such a beautiful Art. And now watching all your video's making me really want to go further with it. i just need to look for the right types of trees who can grows in Nederland like Bonsai. So amazing, Thank you very much.
Netherlands is not far from the south of England. The climate surely is similar, perhaps somewhat colder in winter. All the trees Peter grows can be grown in the Netherlands as well.
@@pansepot1490 Thank you for this encouragement.
What a treat to have a tour of the greenhouse and watch you working on the Japanese Maples.
My saplings grown from Herons seeds are growing strong and healthy. I am looking forward to seeing what colours and leaf shapes i get!
Nice to see some of the older projects. Looking forward to a dedicated video on that.
I remember people commenting that the cleaver tree and others would not survive. Maybe some of them will not be too stubborn and actually learn that it is possible. 😊🌱
Such a lovely way to spend Sunday morning. A tour and tutorial from Peter. 🙏🏻
I use windex on my trees. I spray it on and let it set for just a min then rinse off with warm water. Ive been doing it this way for just over a year now and its worked wonderful. Windex is cheap is why I like it.
In Victoria, Australia I am impatiently waiting for winter to even start, let alone spring, so that I can do the next steps on my JM air layer! Looking at a tress of at least 60+ cm tall, with good taper - fingers crossed!
Thank you for the upload, always love seeing you work on your trees especially the maples.
When I watch your videos in spring, my only thought is, "For f's sake, when the hell is the snow going to melt. I want to start doing THAT."
My favorite peaceful Bonsai Master. If I had the land to play....
Thank you so much for all your videos. You don't have to do this but you do! :)
Love the maple I'm learning from the master 😊🙏
Thanks a ton peter
I initiated peter moss treatment to my two projects
I feel so elated to have learnt from ur vedios.
U r so right that nothing is permanent
Please upload a vedio for treating fungus and pests.
U mentioned to be alert while using pruning saw.
Today i received a deep cut while i was training roots of ficus on a cinder block.
I remember always patience n passion key for Bonsai hobbyist.
Thanks again
Thank you very much Peter Chan !!! I really enjoyed watching your videos! every time I look and I am glad that at least through the Internet I can learn from you!
Enjoyed the numerus maple case studies.
So many wonderful trees. Love watching your work Peter.
Thank you again master Chan for another very informal video. Great stuff 🌳👊
Thanks Peter. Some good tips in there.
So very satisfied with this process for the future's I hope to have in my lifetime ❤
Herons=the Fort Knox of bonsai trees.
Waw! great , thankyou Sir Chan !🙏🐲
Nice presentation and very informative 🙏
Nice sharing videos
Thank you
Great info.
Thanks for showing the one you split down the middle I've been wondering how it's doing. 🙂
Probably dead
Not dead yet. It's feeling better.
@@shropshireladoutdoors743 he just showed it . It was alive
One half wheres the other
@@shropshireladoutdoors743 he showed it before the top died back but it's still alive
🤩love the little tanuki🤩
Ive been wondering how it was doing.
Field grown stuff seems to always be the nicest looking bonsai.
Something about a natural grow period seems to give the trees a different character over trees manicured from seedlings
Very nice trunks on the trees.
Brilliant
sneezing at bonsai gives it new direction
I use lipstick instead of cut paste. Lipstick is a natural wax and seals the wood until it can heel over. If your wife has old lipstick, try it out. Works for me.
Ohh, interesting! Any particular color? ;) I will try this when my maple gets big enough.
@@Julie-sw8xv Any color will do. Just use the cheap tube lipstick. Red roses, red lipstick. If the branch on the maple is a light green, green lipstick. They even have black and brown lipstick. Your choice. I have used it for many years.
@@farmert9679 Thank you! Speaking of roses, do you know the best way to keep bugs off?
It was cool to literally be wiring my Japanese maples and see this drop on UA-cam 😂
Thank you for another informative lesson. And kudos to your camera person.
Neem Oil works very well for insects.
I love the maple videos, awesome again Peter! Are you going to do bonsai fest this year? I was looking forward to it last year!
Nice I was looking at mine in sadness but now I see what to do
Very nice Peter. Beautiful little maples. Love your experience and know how. Please keep these videos coming to us. If you only knew how comforting this is. Thanks. You are a dear soul. Karl
Ps: Peter I used Lindseed oil as cut paste on a Silver Maple last year. So far so good. Have you any knowledge of it being used before?
Fruit tree growers use a mix of bees wax and linseed oil as a cut paste when the prune and graft trees! They mix it to a paste consistency and carry it with them as they prune the orchard.
Mix a couple tablespoons of blue dawn dish soap, a bit of some oil, olive/ vetable, etc, and then a bit of some sort of alcohol, isopropyl or vodka.
Mixed all with like a liter of water.
It works great. I used it a lot of my junipers.
Merci ;)
Dogwood also wares smooth, so it's been used for making loom shuttles
Hi! I wanted to ask why you don't have ads on your video because I think it isn't a shame when you put one or two ads on such great videos. It won't hurt anybody ;)
I am not a good businessman so it doesnt occur to me. Besides this channel is to teach and to give my knowledge free. Money doesn't come into it. I have already had three or four companies offer me big bucks (really big bucks) to do a course of say 10 bonsai lessons which they will market on their own channels - but I have refused. So be it. I am happy as I am.
@@peterchan3100 your a very humble man. The best way to be, life takes care of you, for being good.
@@peterchan3100 oh that‘s nice. Thanks for those wise words
@@peterchan3100 You're an amazing person...
@@peterchan3100 I really admire your ethic.
I use soapy water with two drops of lighter fuel per one liter. It works wonders against mealybugs if applied twice a day for 4-7 days.
What's the lighter fuel for. That kind? Like zippo fluid.
@@jameswalker3416 It destroys the greasy shell of the insects and let the soap close their breathing holes so that they die. Without the lighter fluid the soap can not suffocate them.
Twice a day for a week it’s a lot of work. Late winter/early spring is the right time to apply mineral oil, aka horticultural oil. One application is enough. It’s not exactly an insecticide, but it works by choking eggs and larvae of overwintering insects like scales, red spider mites, mealybugs, etc. I buy from my local farm supply store because I am a professional but I think it’s also available in garden centers.
Gahzuntite!
I’ve enjoyed your video’s for a long time, Your easy manner is enjoyable to learn from a master bonsai instructor. May I ask about the end of each of the video’s piano’s background music playing, what is the name or title of this most enjoyable most enjoyable listening music? Thank you.
As soon as I finish this cuppa coffee I'm going to go pick a tree to be my dumpy tree.
Peter have you tried Neem oil? it is natural and works very well against pests and as fungicide. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us : )
Sphagnum moss ! A new bonsai enthusiast’s lesson heard. To clarify, if understood correctly, you mean
💕🍁
The arakawa deadwood reminds me the wound made by the vine's esca, an illness provoked by a mix of bacteria and fungi that can infect vine during pruning steps and slowly kill what was the most vigorous branches. In France, scientists fighting against this wood ilness promote some soft pruning techniques.
Goedemorgen,
Hi Peter, Can you air layered maples when they are coming out of dormancy or would you wait until the leaves have grown let's say a month or two after it comes out of dormancy?
Nice video ,In Switzerland they use liquid black soap as a fungicide and to kill aphids
Do you have any recommendations for any species of trees for bonsai that do well outdoors but with only about 4 hours of sun light per day? Summer temperatures reach 100F and about 55F at night, winter temperatures are 45-75F and down to 32F at night. My yard is shady most of the day.
I did always wonder what to do about the nasty buggy boos. Now I wont worry, so long as I keep all things in moderation, then some spray from the garden center will work fine.
Tree at 31:50 has a face and arms... o.O
Goood
I think some insects got to my ilex crenata. Will have to look into a pesticide.
At 29:45 could you use a Fordom Carving tool with a bit to carve down the dead area.
how to handle red maple after pruning & root cutting? does it have to be covered?
Peter great Maples. Q: can you trim Beech mid March or is it too late?
I hope you will sing my book next week peter chan in the nederlands
Hi Peter. What's the earliest that you can safely prune garden Japanese Maples (10-20ft tall) in Spring? I think you've said April?
Evening night cap for me
Good morning fellow bonsai enthusiasts.
against the bugs u maybe can try own mixture: 10pcs of cigarette stub per 1 Liter clear water. let it 24h soak and rhen you spray this against the bugs. leave on 24h ... all bugs gone. this is because of the light concentration of the neurotoxin nikotine. then rinse afterwards.
Hey:)
I have a question for you because i cant find any information in the internet for it.
Which plants can grow together and which not?
Im quite new to bonsai and i grew 3 jacaranda mimosafolia for about 2 years now.
Now i want them to repot together in one pot to get one big plant. Is that even possible? Are there specific rules for it?
It would ne really really nice of someone can help me :)
Greetings from Germany and stay healthy:)
That maple at 44:43. Was that one in a bonsai book some years ago?
Sphagnum used is dried whole moss and not “peat” moss ?
❤🔥👌👍
Can y’all do a video of his history?
In the Winter i plant some oak seeds. Now they are start to grow. How often should i water them? Every day?
Put them in the ground and let them thicken up.
50-50 Listerine and water, great for powdery Mildew.
question, anyone ? , i have some young maples, that have developed split trunks, can i just remove any of the 2 without damaging the other ? there is no clear leader between the 2. or do i wait untill it is older and thicker before removing one ? or just keep both ? any advise is welcome !
So is it OK to cut trees in the growing season?
I was worried they may bleed too much?
I prune my maples in mid-late Feb and no bleeding, but make sure you use cut paste. Depends on the weather where you are I guess (I'm in the SE of UK).
Bom dia, Flor do dia!
How do I encourage shoots lower down a long (60cm) trunk to later shorten a maple?
If you shorten deciduous trees new shoots will come, don't worry.
How about using a dremel tool? Seems it would be more precision , with greater ease.
I have a young 6 foot tall Japanese maple 🍁 with a 1.5 inch trunk, can I cut it close to the roots to start the process of creating a Bonsi tree? Any advice from viewers welcome.
In theory I would say it's possible but you'd have to consider die-back and have a specific style to go with that. (In)formal upright would be a no go for instance, imo.
Maybe airlayer the tree first so you have a back up when the thing goes sideways.
@@renew5751 Thank you 😊🙏
Peter! encourage stink bugs they eat most pests, unfortunately they also go for the good guys. Swings and roundabouts
Does the cut paste have hormones that would encourage callusing?
Can I ask (and if anyone else has input please feel free) what would be a species that can handle very hot Australian summers? I'm not very experienced and even my normal plants suffer during hot days so I dont trust myself at the moment with bonsai
Watch "Aussie Bonsai Bloke". He has learnt a lot from Peter, and adapted for SA desert. He loves natives, olives and has great success with maples and a number of exotics.
I live in Las Vegas very hot also. Chinese elm does great here. Fruiting fig, mulberrry, siberian elm. I have started experimenting with african sumac(rhus lancea) because seedlings popup in my yard all the time.
Is it possible the absence of a tap root kills the crown?
They should produce mini saws…
What about the other half of the split tree? 46:00

Does anyone know what price you’d pay for one of these maples or similar ?
There may be some for sale on the web site. The larger specimens may not be priced. As they say: 'If you have to ask you can't afford it.' 😉
Is dried moss worse than green?
This is a factory...
"in just one year" -Bonsai man
UK people - do you know where can I buy live moss that's not simply picked up from a random forest?
Why do you want to buy it? Moss is everywhere, especially in the uk I am sure you can find moss growing on every surface that is not fully exposed to the sun. I collected plenty from the pavement right in front of my house.
@@pansepot1490 because I don’t want moss that’s full of pathogens and funghi. It’s quite normal to buy various species of moss in trays that’s been purpose-grown, not sure why the surprise.
What happens if you only grow bonsai in Moss?
I think it becomes water logged because moss holds water even better than most soils doesn't it? For some species it would be a blessing, but most prefer moderate moist I think.
@@renew5751 that could be the right answer...
how much does an average maple bonsai cost 🤔
Define average.
