I wonder if anyone else here enjoys Peter's once in a while peeking into the camera lens to see if he can be seen properly on the screen while he is self-videoing... I find it very endearing and funny at the same time.

Week 49 of Sunday breakfast with Peter. What a great video to start the day.

Not boring at all! Watching a master is the best way to learn. Thank you for all of your content!

Watching bonsai work is an escape from the drama. It's a good thing.

Never boring or tedious - always informative and entertaining. You have become not only our mentor but a dear friend we look forward to spending time with. You have become the “most interesting man in the world”!! Warm wishes from your Florida fan!🐊🌴

I love your channel, even the parts you consider boring. To me they are calming and reassuring and are a much need respite from the chaos of everything else in life

Sphagnum moss + on gravel as Peter's always share. Sure can't wait to see the update and see them on their former glory again. Thx for sharing Peter👍👍👍.

First!!!! Good morning bonsai family. To all at Herons, and anyone viewing: I wish you all a safe and restful Christmas, and hope you have health, happiness, good fortune and short internodes in 2021. May Santa bring you everything you hope for, and deserve. And may your trees live long and thrive 😀

Thanks for your patience in explain it to us, Peter Chan !!!

I'm not worried about drama or bordem on you channel. I come here to learn and relax. Everything is interesting to me. Thanks for the close up shots, it is amazing to get a closer look at the details :) I was extremely lucky to find this book online at a used book store for about $15 with shipping. I hope someday it can be republished as I usually see them for sale close to $300 here in the states

Oh and about tedious/not tedious: The quiet moments in bonsai work is very soothing to me. I like it - and those who don't are allowed to skip it :)

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us your life’s work is stunning.

Nice trees Peter, can't wait for the finished outcome, they will look great.

i've designed book covers, and that is an excellent photo. the dynamic, colorful, lushness, and shape of the tree grabs your attention and immediately directs the eye to the title and subtitle. the cover is perfect, in my opinion.

That's why we watch you I watch every single branches wire or try to nothing boring I call it a Learning lesson

I don't get bored watching you wire or transplant or any aspect of working on trees I find it very meditative and would even enjoy longer videos of the like Keep on keeping on ❤

Wow these are beautiful

love the stores about the trees . this is awesome you have nothing to be ashamed of they are all so wonderful in their own way! im just learning but this is fascinating! thank you

There are three things that one could watch forever: fire, water and other people working

Just watching him inspires me to think about my stuff more, and by the way I have started planting, repotting plants and trees and so on.

Thank you sir for the inputs.

I'm thinking of doing the sphagnum moss treatment to some of my trees in the spring so I'm glad to have seen it done. Really as easy as just putting it in moss!

So good to see such famous , popular bonsai trees , thanks for sharing this vedio sir

Hello Mr Chan! I have a suggestion for you: let your colleagues Tibor, Padmapriya do their own videos for this channel. We would very much like to watch them creating something interesting. This will also contribute to the channel as well.

Npt boring! Something very soothing in watching you work and hearing you teach.

I was able to find a copy of Bonsai Master Class at a Bonsai yard sale in August! It is so interesting to see these trees now. I do not find your process of working on the trees at all “boring” as everything you do has a reason. It will be interested in further progress on these 2 trees!

Just Beautiful. It is never boring watching a Master at Work.☺☺☺☺

Happy Sunday, my friend. How great to sit down with a few slices of toast with figs and a hot mug of Earl Grey while discovering you've posted another entertaining and educational presentation. And, by the way, I HAVE that book! ;) Keep up the good work! Cheers, Dick from Vancouver!

Perfect for my sunday coffee (trees already watered...)

Always the best👍👍👍👍

Props to the cameraman! Thank you for getting those good close shots

Thank you master hiroshi

One quick point... almost every other bonsai artist will rant about wire marking on the trees. You hardly give a thought to it much less expounding on the sin of it. I agree that I have seen many trees with scarring from wirework that look amazing. Looking forward to sharing another of your great presentations with you. Cheers, Dick from Vancouver.

watching from belgium

As a new comer to these videos I can not see why anyone could consider learning from you boring...

Wow some real bonsai history there ! Shame the John naka composition has been so neglected. Your bonsai master class book for me personally has been the most influential bonsai book I have ever read with lots of down to earth advice that was not in books at the time, and I have bought every book I can get on the subject over the last 30 years ! Really loved your honesty and really enjoyed listening to you talk about those trees, thanks Peter 👍🏻👍🏻

Another great video. Also just taken delivery of my smorgasbord of Herons Bonsai Xmas gifts ! Larch and Yew starter kits and Redwood forest ... turntable and gift vouchers. Everything arrived in tip top condition ... ( I just hope Santa sends me more vouchers so I can get a tool kit !)

Wow they really look like an actual miniature of a pine tree

Very interesting, thanks again! It might be wise indeed to give the forest group some recovery time: I think that patience is or should be, one the most valuable issues in bonsaï, don't you think? By the way: I think I understand the history of that pine a bit but how do you evaluate the actual combination of tree and pot in your video? And how does the age of a branche, in your experience, influence its capability of backbudding? Looking forward to your thoughts...

Thankyou Peter. Those are some very beautiful bonsai. Looking forward to the next updates.

Hi mr. Peter This is Jesse one of your loyal Watchers I would I asked you a question the trees cannot be shipped from country out of country dieringer dormancy time that was a question that I really wanted to ask and if I can forward to get to plane to get over there so you can buy a tree from you I would do so I think you are one of the best tree Growers Bonsai that I've ever seen I love the work you do and I love how you explain what you're doing you just don't do a bunch of willy-nilly things and then she'll it to its least you're trying to explain to us you are the madness behind the purpose and that means a lot to us that watch your shows I would do about anything that there is to do to get a forest from you as you do I've spoken to you over the Internet many times on a forest I really wouldn't care what kind of forest as long as it was just a forest from you I have never seen one man come up with the things that you do and they just look so beautiful they are leading you to do that one time when you split that tree in half and that was just so amazing that you could do that and it not die but we live so far away and like I said once before I'm glad I don't live next to you because you would be chasing me away with a rake because I would want to be there all the time donating any time I could just to be around you and watching you do you the amazing things that you do with trees and wire I've never hope to see your show go away even during the corona you always manage to give us something but during the dormancy of the trees they still cannot be shipped from England to the United States I take it so I'm still figuring how am I racking my brain I asked all of my friends all of my anybody are you anybody going to England because if they are can you please get me a tree and try to bring it back you know somehow and I know nobody that's going to England yeah so I really am just sad because you're the ultimate in bonsai keep making your movies I'll keep watching thank you very much for your time and your patience with me I don't mean to be a menace I'm just very into what you do and I always figured if you want the best watch the best but that one time when you split that tree down the middle it didn't die I was like oh my God I was so amazed if I would have tried that poor thing would have died and yellow you never really think much about your bonsais or anything but when one of them dies it actually hurts your feelings that you do you let the tree down you let yourself down and I just wished I had half the talent that you have so you have a great day please stay safe tell all your toys I said hello from the states and if there is anything that you can come up with an idea please feel free to text me at any given time I wouldn't care if it was 2 in the morning text me let me know please you have a great day and keep making those beautiful trees that you do your bonsais rather and I'll keep watching you stay safe buddy

Great....

Super sir

Hey Peter, are you planning to make your older books such as the Master Class available on digital form? They are almost impossible to find these days... Maybe Kindle or PDF format to be available on Amazon

I love how random the road that former cascade's took to fame was! By the way, Peter, I haven't sent an email about the beautiful tree yet, but that's frankly just because I'm stuck where I went on Christmas holiday due to corona restrictions. Do you mind taking care of it for a bit longer?

By the late John Narker, who is one of the greatest living..

good👍👍👍

Hi, got a question about ficus and hope someone can help me : I got a ficus thats about 15 years old and i live in Germany, which means our environement is not humid enough to create aerial roots. It got a rather long downward growing side branch on a main branch and i kept it for thickening purposes. However recently i looked at it and thought to myself if i could repurpose it as a quasi aerial root (defoliate and stick it in the ground). Anybody got an idea if that works?

🌱🍃👍🏻

what kind of pine is it?

When is the best time to start a forest. I have a few young trees and i want to create my first forest

I wish you would open up a satellite location in the US!

The cover tree of the Masterclass book seems a bit overwhelmed by the pot (container).

What pine is that? Black pines or white pines or another kind of pines? But anyway that's a cool bonsai really master bonsai style 👍

My first and now dead tree was wired with scrap copper wire out of a wash machine. so when there is a will there's a way lol

The Naka forest does not look only neglected. It looks aweful, weak and like the owner does not know anything about Bonsai. Top heavy, the lower branches die off. There is no shape in the apex. I am so sorry cause the dried up lower branches won't recover.

#أفرجوا_عن_أحمد_سبيع

I would like to cry when owners of almost million dollar forest groups don't take care of their bonsai. Thinking of all the people that would come in once a month for almost free and take care of it for them.

Hi Peter, I have a honest question. And I don't mean this disrespectful in any way. You seem to style your trees much 'looser' than other bonsai professionals I follow on the internet. Most of them would detail wire a pine like this and place all branches so precise that you could hold a ruler to them. Is there a reason you do it this way? I'm not saying your way is better or less than others. I'm just curious. I really enjoy your videos and especially the knowledge you share about air layering an developing bonsai in the ground is really valuable to me.

Крым-Россия! Севастополь-город русской славы!

Fiiiiirst

It's nice you can sell very expensive trees to rich people who can't be bothered to care for them. Kepp getting paid for something you sold decades ago!
