The simplicity of just putting some trees in a pot resulting in a beautiful scenery...😀

I love watching you work on the forests Peter. You influenced me to make some of my own last year. I now have larch, beech, hornbeam, dawn redwood, and field maple. I also have lots of small leaf Japanese maple i grew from Herons seeds last year. Im so looking forward to working on them as soon as the weather improves!

Love those forests 🌲🌲 This has inspired me to try birch seedlings to create a white birch forest group. 😀

Good morning Peter. To make a forest in a few minutes and that looks good you can do it, I take days to plan it and hours to do it and of course it does not look so good. With the years of experience you have, you don't make bonsai videos, you make magic! I laughed a lot when the trees fell, the first forest I made to take advantage of some cuttings was on stone, imagine the suffering that happened and the turns that I gave to stay on the stone, with how easy it is to plant it on a tray of seeds and when the roots grow put it where you want, but of course I know that now, thanks to you.

Amazing, you make every bonsai in a few minutes. You are the best!

You getting the cedars in the pot was like watching someone heard cats. Thanks for the good laugh and the wonderful looking end product!

I just Love Love love love your little Forests 💟💟

Peter...very natural looking which of course is the goal!!! I think you could place trees blindfolded and they’d look great!!!

Thanks Pete, loving every video that you so generously share. Best regards from Singapore

Thx for sharing Peter..can't wait for the next one..cheers

Another great video from our friend Peter!!!!

Peter was fired from the local skittle alley as a sticker upper 🤣🤣🤣

Another wonderful job!

The intro footage is a very good view for plein air, cheers! Thank you Sensei Chan!

another great video i learn so much from watching your videos thank you for the time and effort you put into them

I am thinking that there are enough of us who appreciate Mr. Chan's work that we can do a GoFundMe for a new mic?? Thanks again for the content Herons Bonsai! always appreciated.

Looks so nice, I love it 👌

Dear Peter, very interesting forests ! I would appreciate to see the different trees ( individual and forests) you made a couple of months/years later. Could you please once show them on a new video ? Thanks in advance. Best regards Jean-Pierre

Excellent video Peter. Thank you for sharing. Greetings👍😊👌

i love your videos because even i am not speaking English very well ,I understand you very well ,i like the way you speak calm and rare Also i like your work on bonsay trees Congratulations

Absolutely incredible to see these trees so small. Where I live in the Deep South of America these cypress get so large that it’s odd to not see them that wah

Looks so simple to do but in years to come they will look magnificent thank you peter ....oh by the way time to wear your Christmas shirt or Santa suit lol .Merry Christmas 🌲🌲🌲

I live in Florida, ive seen these trees easily get 50- 60 feet. Theyre absolutely gorgeous trees. If you ever travel here, Leu Gardens in Orlando is a gorgeous place with a section with these cypress.

Love your work but i think your mic is somewhat broken, that high pitch buzzing noise i quite irritating but i will push through it, just for the information :P

The birds in my back garden eyes would light up seeing all that moss.

These are so interesting, and seeing you explore the process helps so much! While living in Japan, a very kind man loaned me one of his 70 year old bonsai’s to place in my Japanese garden. I am back in the states and though i know I am not able to attain the level he had, I remember the joy it gave him working with his plants and sharing their beauty, and I hope to get some of that as I try a bonsai plant here in Tennessee. Your videos are so interesting and so helpful with lots of down to earth practical information. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge. Of course, I would love to visit your nursery, but I think I will have to just enjoy the videos and the information and use it to the best of my ability.

I actually like the congestion of the trees!

Sir Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Please teach us how to grow Moss. Thank you.

Nossa e lindo bonsai 😲

My mother had a cypress knee with three branches. She trained trailing plants to curl arround it.

@Peter, good morning! I found this 60s video on youtube, the last part is about Bonsai in London! Hope you like it.

I love watching your videos but ive noticed your audio has ben notoriously bad for years now... I was looking forward to settling in for a good 40mins here but I couldn't do it with that feedback

Peter : 13 trees ...HA ... MORE TREES 🌲 🤣🤣

The deodar cedars are native to the himalayas, specially the foothills and in islamabad. They smell amazing too like a pine or spruce. It makes the hike through the hilly forest even better

How can we realize it's the time to take them apart? (Bald cypress forest) We can't have them in forest style for all the time? And thx for your inspiring videos!

❤️❤️❤️smiles

When the trees kept falling over and Peter says 'You may be laughing' I couldn't even see the video, for the tears of laughter in my eyes. So sorry.

Can you make a Video explaining what to look out for when you want to buy a Bonsai tree

So nice to see how you make starter bonsai from nothing in few minutes! I have also a question: do the taxodium propagate easily from air layer?

Nice video

I love forest groups! I've been watching intensely your forest group series recently. I love them all. But this last one holds a meaning for me, as I live maybe 45 mins from rocky mountain forests. Which I visit often! I am curious though, I wonder what your take is, or maybe a video on doing a forest group with Norfolk island pine. Since it is the Christmas season. They are readily available everywhere I look. And think it could be done. But not sure where to start. Especially with the long branches.

Thanks for mentioning the centimeters

I've always known Taxodium distichum as Bald cypress. It is one of my favorite trees while young with their beautiful cone shape with the buttressed trunk. The reddish cinnamon bark as a backdrop to the lacy green leaves is very striking. I live in the Northern US in plant hardiness zone 6A and see it growing very commonly here as a landscape tree. Their "cones" (more like round balls) have the most wonderful fragrance as well. I never have been able to get any seeds to sprout. I wonder if either the seeds are not hardy here or if they need other trees for pollination since most of the specimens I've found are solitary. I've read that they are somewhat difficult to germinate. How do you propagate yours?

Lovely group. How long before they start to look established? I have 2 Norway Spruce groups I made up in spring 2019.

Hi Peter great video like always! One question, what’s the ratio of pine bark and peat that you used? Do you ever add any other aggregate with it for more drainage? Thanks again for all the great videos. Happy Holidays to you and your staff and family.

We have bald cypress here in florida. Most landscapes use swamp cypress. I think because is doesn't grow as large.

Love these! Question- do you ever do a forest with different kinds of trees together? In nature trees grow together, just wondering why no bonsai forests with multiple kinds of trees, thank you!

i wish i can buy all your plastic pot on amazon usa♥️

Hi , would very much like to make a bonsai forest but for indoor conditions only . Which tree's would you recommend to use? Love the look of a larch forest but would that be achievable indoors? Thank you:)

Peter: When using young (thin) seedlings needing help being straight within a forest group, would you say some light wiring is appropriate to straighten them?

Will bonsai Taxodium distichum still produce aerial roots over time? Or is this dependent on having a more extensive root system?

So much very group tree bonsai very natural geography just as well ho I'm very life already there penalty because natural geography group tree very beautiful and one tree bonsai very baddest yes sri child someone people like tree bonsai tree years before they thank you for good advice kupchak 🙏😍

Have ever considered plate spinning ???

I like to listen to him

Funny. Taxodium distichum is Bald Cypress. I've never paid any attention to one less than 50 feet tall. I grew up near the largest tree east of the Mississippi, a bald cypress in the flatlands of west Tennessee. At least it was the largest until lightening blew it up. After that a Bald Cypress in Florida was the largest tree east of the Mississippi until a meth head set it on fire. Just interesting to see these little giants used as bonsai.

Are there Forest groups that contain multiple species of tree. I know in real forests there are mixes of tree species depending on the region. But, in Bonsai do they use such groupings?

Do you source your trees from within the uk or do have some imported such as the non-natives?

Peter with moss covering everything how do you know when is the right time to water the bonsai?

i have a swamp cypress thats 4 years old and the base is 8cm wide and has always been healthy but this spring we has a really hot start and is burn the bud twice and now is just a stick the trunk is still alive but the branches are dieing. i grow it in water any advice ?

Good

Are trees growing in those tiny plastic pots (for future forest) okay outside in the winter or do they need protection? I have junipers in small plastic pots similar to those, growing for a forest in the future. I'm wondering if they'll be okay outside in the cold?

Dr. Mr.Chan, I was looking for very big (but shallow) trainingpots (of plastic) in your online store because you said that you had some til 90 cm, but I cannot find them. Would like to order some for the Netherlands! I cannot find them anywhere. Please help, I am a forest lover! I love your channel! Merry Christmas!🌲

excellent , i have 10 bare root larch saplings for a forest,they all have quite big tap roots ,should i reduce them or remove completely,most have a very good root system.

Am I the only one hearing this really irritating high buzzing on the last several videos? Or do you here them also?

Do you have an update on this project please

How old are these trees? I'd like to purchase some trees about this size in the US. Do you recommend a grower?

23:48- 24:12 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sir... please help me out to buy your books in India.Is is really difficult to get the copy through any seller...Martin

Hello, what a tree for 14.20?

Very nice but please adjust your mic as it’s high pitch is annoying.

I wanted to reach into the screen and help hold those trees so bad.

Can anyone send me a maple tree ( any species) for shohin bonsai, I have asked in all the nurseries available in my city, haven't found one
