I never get tired of Peter flexing on how he gets free material or product and miraculously turns it into gold for his business

I wish this video were three years old, so I could look for the update.

Thank you for saving these trees. Thanks for being such an amazing human. Much love and respect from Bulgaria.

Beautiful trees! The roots would show a lot of character as a bonsai rather than being hidden when used as a hedge.

Not only bonsai wisdom but also life wisdom, love it!

Love your enthusiasm, it's infectious. Great project trees.

I’ve always wanted to get into bonsai. You have inspired me so much that I have purchased a set of bonsai tools, grow lights for the winter when I have to bring my trees indoors, supplies for wiring branches and keeping my bonsai healthy, and I’m so excited I finally started this exciting hobby. All bc of your love and inspiration for these beautiful trees. Thank you for giving me the confidence to do this. I always look forward to your videos.

The joy on Peter's face when he scratched the bark and said 'It's green!' 😊

Hey Peter! I hope all is great. Please do a quick update on these beeches. I think we all would love to see the specimens growing and thank you for saving them. You rock!

Another man’s trash is another man’s treasure indeed.

Glad to see appreciation of the mighty beech tree. I live in an area surrounded by beech and always thought they would make excellent bonsai.

Your excitement is infectious. Nothing ventured nothing gained. Well done.

Amazing idea! These humble trees went from being neglected and disregarded, to some of the most well pampered trees on Earth. Thank you.

Love your drive, Peter and enjoyed your early 70's rubbish dump story, I must get into that myself. Hope all the lovely trees survive into great bonsai. Keep up the great work, and thanks again for another fabulous video.

That's a wonderful shirt for any raining day as it is always sunny above the clouds.

What an amazing find. So nice that these trees past their use as hedges and now they get a new life and purpose. Beautiful!

What incredible luck Peter! Can’t wait to see an update of their progress in the future

What a finding you got there, Master Chan! And you look so happy it's a beauty to watch!!

What is so wonderful about this video, apart from the imparted knowledge and wisdom, is the sheer excitement that Peter feels about getting these trees for free. After all of your years of creating and working with bonsai it is fantastic to see that your enthusiasm and joy for rescuing plants and creating beautiful trees from them has not waned. I imagine that you get as excited now about such a find as you did way back when you first started. I know how I would feel, as a real newbie, at even finding one of these trees let alone 60. It's not even the fact that they are free, although that is a real bonus, but the fact it is raw material for one to use one's creative talents on. My congratulations to you, Peter, and please keep us updated on their progress.

It is truly WONDERFUL that you are giving these beautiful trees another chance to be admired

Really excited to see the future of these trees! Cheers my friend

All those trees thankful little trees are crying, "My Heron! ... I mean, " MY HERO!" 😊

I know it has already been said,but thank you so much for sharing your life's knowledge with all of us!

I love this man so much. So knowledgeable, and wholesome.

Peter you never cease to amaze me, you get so much enjoyment from finding things for free or very cheap .I think it is wonderful and we all should do more to recycle.

You’re so stinking happy I grinned through the whole video. Great job and good deal! Hi from Arkansas!

Ive done the same thing with clients. Ive saved quite a few plants and trees this way. Tell your friends "dont kill them, call me first", you will be surprised at how many people call. I now have a beautiful giant pyracantha bonsai from this! Everything may not survive, but it is worth a try!

Love to see the joy on his face at getting these trees. I recently dug up some thick and interesting hawthorn stumps from a hedgerow that was decimated as part of preparation for road works. They are all alive with little green shoots and all of them are going to make very interesting bonsai, I have no doubt. It is a good feeling to not only saved then from being wasted but also to consider the prospect of making something far more interesting than a simple hedge from them!

Sir, I am very grateful to you for inspiring me... When I look at trees, I see their potential for become a bonsai... You make it look easy. All your videos are very informative and inspirational. Thank you...

Thank you for saving those trees Peter,.can't wait for the next video.

This guy is my guru . ..i even have these videos on to fall asleep...im learning so much. He is up there with Costa from gardening australia and monty don from the UK

Peter, love your Hawaiian shirts, your philosophy on life, and your wealth of information so freely given. You definitely have found your purpose in life. The trees are so happy to have been saved by you to continue living. God bless you and keep you safe.

I planted bushes and trees years ago for future bonsai but the wildlife love them so much I can't bare to chop and dig. Plus the one juniper I dug and potted up last year is dying. You have given me some inspiration though.

Wow peter what a find to get so many beech that have such great trunks and your excitement in getting them shows there potential. good for you :) An update when they put on some growth would be great

What a lucky find! I can only hope you realize how much we enjoy you and your wonderful presentations. Cheers, Dick from Vancouver.

Peter chan changes lives with his wisdom Bonsai is life and life is beautiful I love how u don't conform to conventional ways thank u for being real !!

Amazing find. It pays to pay attention. Thanks for sharing!!

I am so pleased with how many youtube videos you have, i just love watching your work and i learn something new every time. I am very happy that there is so much documented content to learn from, and your teaching style is very good. Thank you again sir!

I think its time for an update on the beech trees. Thank you Mr. Chan for your wealth of knowledge and sharing with us. I have recently bought a berberis from you to take up the hobby. 👍🏻

You are so inspiring and amazing Peter! What a wonderful video I loved every minute of it. You are THE "Tree Whisperer"

What a fantastic idea. I have 4 or 5 red-leaved beeches left over from a project I did six or seven years ago. They are 6-7 feet by now, if I can dig them up I'll use them for bonsai. Thank you so much!

thank you for your knowledge and outlook on life I really enjoy how you view the world not many people are like you and I wish people with the amount of knowledge you have were as humble as you. I learn a lot form your videos on bonsai and life thanks again

Excellent example of getting great material for bonsai.

your joy is contagious. Thank you Master

Awesome!!! I’m new to the channel and have seen the video of you working these trees years later. Cool video to see the origin story

Well done you saved these beautiful trees. They are going to make awesome bonsai. If only everyone could see the potential beauty as you do.

You are a treasure Mr. Chan. Thank you so much for these videos.

Loving the daily videos.

Congrats on the wonderful find. 36 trees for free... that's amazing.

Excellent work Mr Chan.

Peter you are so cool. Dumpster diving for beech trees to rescue! So awesome! Fantastic videos. I have great respect for your love for the trees and the process. Hope you live a hundred years! Thank you! From Susan in Anacortes, Washington, USA

Wow wonderful look forward to the update.

I really enjoy these types of videos on this one specifically I would have liked a little bit more detail on how you recognized the health of the trees and The care after they've been repotted

That's Brilliant! Great find!

Please do a follow up. I hope most of the 36 survive. Beech aren't the best for root disturbance but for free you have nothing to lose. GL

Wow what an amazing Man, thank You for being so generous and sharing your priceless knowledge. I learn so much on every video. I wish I could visit your operation someday. Many blessings from Indiana USA.

Amazing. These kinds if videos are great!!

Does anyone else go around industrial and building site finding plants like these,I have so much fun doing this and the gems you find are unbelievable.

Genuinely can't wait to see the progress of these trees.

What a great find

Amazing recovery of free plant material...so inspiring! :)

You are a legend, an inspiration and a true bonsai master. I'm into rescuing\adopting trees and reclaiming wood. I find such a satisfaction in it. I came to your nursery before, I love it and Tibo is a star. Would love to be able to spend more time there even as an apprentice. (I'm 38 and with a full time job). Anyhow I'll be coming around Herons in a few days and if I see u around I'll say hi. Thanks for your passion and for sharing your knowledge, pls keep it up. 👍💪😀

Always love your videos

Love your videos! and love that shirt!

awesome score! Like they say: “one man's trash is another man's treasure” 💕

That is amazing. You are going to make wonderful things from this material =) Sending you 39 sunny and warm hugs from southern Sweden 🤩

Excellent find Peter! Ray here in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I would give my left arm for trees like those!

What i wouldn't give to find just one of those trees! Wonderful find Peter

This is great, saving those trees from the landfill, commendations to you Peter, nice work my friend.

Surprise to find out you live in the UK as well. Hope one day I can visit your gorgeous garden :)

sir with your wealth of knowledge one could never bore

Fantastic material for bonsai, great for experimenting

That shirt is top notch my friend!

You are a good human thank you for being so kind towards mother nature

I love your honesty J bishop

Wow great job.I usually do because I cant spend.You are saving the lives.

Darn, that's a find and a half, would love to stumble upon a bunch of trees like that.

What a wonderful story, thank you!

Luck you say... I think those trees are lucky to have found you!!!

this video was very informational and fun ,thanks

The introduction to this. The weather. It felt like a beautiful gentle nostalgic children's program. And forgive me, I don't mean that in any reductive way at all. Like Bagpuss for trees. (I went to a Bagpuss exhibition in Cartwright Hall in Bradford with the original puppets for the animation. And I surprised myself and wept).

I think this is where you can shine👍. You seem to feel much more comfortable with this Prebonsai work then with the delicate tasks a tree in a bonsai pot would appreciate. This beeches are a very good starting point. I hope you can find someone who is used to work with beeches after the prebonsai stage so you can create some nice bonsais together. Pls be careful with the wire! Take your time for every step you are taking with this plants. They are worth it.😅

After all you have been able to rescue all of them and keep them alive. lucky day for you and those trees also.....Great coincidence !!!

I love that shirt!

The three will not suffer or die after sutch harsh cut back at this time of the year? Your videos gives great inspiration. Thank you!

That is so Wonderful that you were able to save them

Now I'm waiting for a beech forest creation!

ur an artist mate, God Bless

GOOD for you peter, those are great
