Peter’s Hawaiian shirt collection perhaps as finely curated as his Bonsai nursery.

“The shoots of this Summer will bear the flowers for next Spring”. Beautiful.

I love how picking a demonstration tree is just like choosing a card from the deck of the magician. No matter what you choose you will be amazed.

These videos are always so peaceful and beautiful and they’re wonderful for feeling calm when I’m anxious or upset

Peter, thank you for making these videos. Your personal approach and openness is always appreciated. Be well, Mats H

Do you realize how much you instruct just with your motions? The explanations make it invaluable.

Imagine just doing bonsai for a living... That'd be the dream.

Gotta love Peter's enthusiasm 😂, it's contagious. I kinda wish i can have a go at such trees but don't have one, yet 😍. Bravo Peter.. until the next one, stay safe to all and cheers.

Fuji Cherry / prunus incisa kojo-no-mai is a fabulous tree for bonsai, particularly for relative newbies like myself. It has a very forgiving nature and tolerates hard pruning and severe root pruning. They look spectacular on flower in April/May. It also has a very predictable contorted twiggy growth habit that makes it suitable for clip and grow pruning, and also styling in an attractive windswept style. They appear to have become very much more accessible from garden centres for a reasonable price.

I think you're doing an amazing job with the self-video! Glad that it allows for more personal content

with these videos you've helped me become a person who grows and shapes bonsai. I am very grateful. Thankyou.

The last tree is a stunner in the making, I would love to see it in a few years time. I like that you have given something of a progression of "starter to mature" tree. Could you do one of your signature twin trunk maples? I find it hard to see from the very start of a simple struck cutting, to an established tree. A series of one year, 2 years, 5 years etc would be great to see! (From an antipodean fan!)

I have been playing this video over and over since yesterday morning. I love it! It also gave me some ideas for my Okame cherry blossom tree that i'l growing large

I just love hearing you speak. Thank you very much for your calming demeanor, wisdom and its so fun to see what they become. :) I've started with a few baby american maples ranging from last year to 3 or 4 years old growing in my front garden hidden in the bushes that we keep chopping back. Now we have fun starters for free.

... I can't stop watching, thank you Peter for your wonderful videos.

I love your videos and the way you walk through each step. I was interested in starting a bonsai and your videos have done so much to encourage and inform me 💙 thank you so much for these

Thank you for continually making videos for us. I'm learning so much.

Nicely done Peter. Thanks for sharing your beautiful trees. Stay safe and as always, I’m looking forward to your next video. Take care.

I’m glad you are staying well and isolating. I like your self filmed video! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I asked for a fuji cherry video about a month ago, when you showed one blooming on a nursery walk around and here it is finally :)

I always enjoy watching you improving trees. This video was exceptional.

That was really nice video! Peter, you started to be really good at making these self videos. I really enjoyed it. Thank you.

your self videoing was excellent Peter. Thanks as always buddy!

Lovely video as always, but the added bonus is the sounds of birdsongs in the background instead of aircraft noise. Enjoyed every moment of this great instructional video. Thank you Peter for filming this.

Peter, the quality of your videos is always superb. Hypnotic. Thank you.

Hello Peter, really enjoyed ur video, always something new to learn in ur very down to earth way, the time just flies away even if it is long video...

The Fuji cherry looks quite beautiful when in bloom.I will look for one in the garden centres in Trinidad. Peter, you are the best bonsai tutor.👍

I love the way you work. It' s so natural! 👏💕👏💕👏💕

Nice to actually hear those birds singing. Usually hear them at the beginning of the intro.

thanks for this video, Peter. That put the Fuji Cherry on my wish list for next year. Great inspiration.

Beautiful! It's great to watch and listen to a person who is a true expert in his field. Passion shines through. Experience leads to confidence and honesty. An out-of-hand tree is brought into shape in 3 minutes. Thanks for sharing!

You are very brave with your cuts. Again, great trees. 🌲🌱🌿☘️🍀🌴🌞🌞

Beautiful trees Wonderful videos Thanks Peter!!

This is great! I have a couple of Fuji Cherry plants! I'll definitely give this a go!

Nicely done! I wish you could visit the USA someday, it would be an honor to take a class from you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have three new indoor trees to repot and trim. I couldn't sleep tonight thinking how excited I am to get started tomorrow on them. This video has helped me a lot. Wishing you and your wife good health, and please be safe with this virus.

Really needed this video today. Worked on my Cherry last night. Need to go even further. Thank you

I just love it thank you Peter 🌱

Thank you Peter, great video very informative and necessary.

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you!

love your art... always inspiring...

Wonderful!

Mr Chan I've learned so much from you and really enjoy your channel

That last tree, the "partially trained" one I thought didnt look like much at all. However 10 seconds of swift, skilled pruning absolutely transformed it.

Another great video, learn so much from these, thank you Peter Chan, your videos are an inspiration. p.s digging the shirt man 😎✌🏻

I always thought to get one of the various cypress varieties they've got around here at the garden center, but now this is making me want to do a fruit tree of some type.

Luv these types of video. A couple of weeks ago I dug up a Japanese maple and chopped it it is getting some new growth, but mostly the bottom half. I’ll just let it grow and see what happens.

Thank you mr Peter for this information and this video is best ... I benefited from this information.

Please continue, Master Chan, to know that we wish to follow your thoughts as you work.

Thank you again Peter ❤️

I literally can not thank you enough for your videos....so thanks I guess :)

Made three lovely cherry bonsai today. They will be nice next year

Can’t wait for the chaenomeles video! 👏 There’s not many on YT. Nanking cherry video would be nice too. Idk what to do with mine anymore... because it’s super basally-dominant and leggy! (even after pruning down to a single trunk line, it keeps reverting back into a leggy shrub!)

cutting out our 30 year old forsithia th past few weeks. goning to dig a big trunk up to pot. this bush is huge 40 foot wide as tall as can be. brambles over a 1/4th of the yard. im taking my lawn back this year tho haha. thank you mr peter chan as always. also your stock looks amazing. we need a herons bonsai in the US! maybe plane fair will be affordable as soon as this mess is over too

Thank you Peter

Your self videos are great.

Hi Peter, I found this video extremely interesting and informative. Currently, I have a prebonsai of the Fujii Cherry Kojo no mai, and I have decided to cultivate it in a large pot for at least a couple of years so that it can grow properly before deciding what to do next. At the same time, I have already given it some movement by slightly tilting it. I hope to see more of your videos related to this species.

I would love Peter Chan Inspirational T-Shirts. "Don't be greedy" "It's a lovely little tree" "Bite the Bullet" There are many others. PLZ reply your favorites.

The weekly humpday Herons video, its Wednesday in the states!!

Great video! I would love to see how you take the cuttings and turn them into new trees

Thanks Peter ,

nice video! .... excelent teacher !

Keep safe peter nice work again ..

I bought a Kojo-no mai earlier this year when the supermarkets had them going for a bargain, it was loaded with flowers and now is growing very well indeed. I'm not keen to trim it yet though, want to be sure it's going to survive beyond a few months like most supermarket plants.

Great information as always Peter. I wish we could get you to work on some of our tricky NZ native trees like the Pohutakawa, they are stunning full size but VERY tricky to bonsai!

There seem to be many "famous Peter Chan" sayings and Bonsai techniques according to PC, cheerfully I take it as a bit tongue in cheek(hopefully haha)..... I love the vids, being in lockdown in a room in a small village in India for well over 2 months, these vids have really inspired me, much love.

No plane’s noise today. Just birds. It changes ! Thanks for your videos

Just what I was after thank you.

7:26 Nice. This looks similar to my saffron habanero chili bonsai. I'll have to keep an eye out for your pointers on this style of tree.

I rarely subscribe, even if the video is helpful. I subscribed in less than 2 minutes. This video is great!

The video was fine!

Great job doing the camera work !

Nice video. Regards from Alicante (Spain)

Very good sir ,, thank you for inspiring me ... 🙏🙏

Thank you for this video. I recently purchased a Fuji cherry tree I don't think survived since they were ordered online but I guess live and learn.

Thank you

nice

Peter, you are the Bob Ross of bonsai.

Good

Dear Mr Chan, Great videos and please do show us the results of your work by doing a part-two a month or two after your first video.

"Don't cut more than that." --keeps cutting "Don't get carried away. If you keep cutting, you'll end up with nothing." --keeps cutting :-P

You can tell that the quarantine has cut down on the flights out of Heathrow that are usually in the background of your videos Peter!

I managed to find one today at the local nursery reduced from £16 to £5 because its summer. Hope I have pruned it OK, although having watched this video I shall prune it some more. I do have three cuttings from the branches that I hope will grow into trees.

Most enjoyable. I wish Fuji Cherry grew well here in southern California but I think it’s too hot.

Thank you very much Peter for all your videos, really nice trees, I saw you did pruning on the tip of branches after they grow leaves , if you want to remove one of the big branches can you do it or is it better to avoid it? If you can, when is it the best time ?

If another life exists i would like to be a bonsai master...GREAT JOB SIR.

Hey Peter. Awesome to see you doing other types of trees. Do you do other fruit trees such as Apple, Orange, etc... as bonsai? Are the care guide different for pruning/maintenance?

I sure wish I lived in the UK so I could buy his pretrained trees!

An update on these cheryy's would be good please, I have 2 in large plant pots that I am thickening the trunk. My plan is to Bonsai them next spring after flowering Richard.

Hello Mr Peter thankyou for all your incredible videos and library of knowledge on your channel.do you or any of your team do split trunk bonsais or is that not your thing.(ie double root base to a single top trunk not the splitting a trunk for bending style?)

Thank you Peter. Michaela

Peter, can I ask you to upload a video regarding dealing with pests on your trees? It’s my first year owning Maple Bonsai and they are covered in Aphids. Thanks.

First time here and by your voice I thought you were Indian with the accent 😀

Very informative and useful for me, as I started training two of these little Fuji Cherry for the first time this March. I already managed to kill one, just pruning after flowering and repotting. The other one though is thriving, I did just pruning and a bit of wiring, but left it in the same pot, hopefully next Spring repotting won't harm it. I'm looking forward to pruning new shoots which are already more than 10 cm long. Do you think I should wait a bit more, or prune them to 2-3 buds now? Thank you Mr Chan

I bought a sapling this summer and it took to wiring nicely and it is so robust. I hard pruned it 3 times and it even produced one flower. I re-potted it into a ceramic bonsai pot and as winter approached here in Colorado I put it out in the greenhouse for safe keeping. Raccoons got my last batch of trees but the temp fluctuates so much in the greenhouse that it could go from 6 degrees to 112 in a single day, much to my surprise. The branches are still flexible and to be perfectly frank, if it lives I will be elated. My question is how long of a dormancy do you think my tree needs in order to thrive

Thank you for another informative, entertaining video. On a side note, who downvotes these videos? Gotta be a pretty big troll I guess.

I have a bunch of deciduous trees (and some tropical). But they're all one year or younger, so I cannot really prune anything yet. :P But I have plans!!! If they survive their first winter. lol.

Could you do a video on how to treat deceases and pests? Sadly my Fuji cherry got sick from a fungus issue. I had to take off all the leaves yesterday. I treated it with an anti fungal spray and I hope it doesn't die on me, and instead makes new leafs.

🔥👍❤

Great brother! Do we keep stock trees cut low and pruned to groom for bonsai? I cannot pretend to know your operation but I beleive no matter how long we work and how many customers we deal with, we touch a tree with care and is always reassuring. The Spring rush!

Hi Peter, thank you for the video tutorial. I have one in my garden, not in a pot. The main trunk has been growing to 5 inch diameter. I pruned to keep the height level with me, in a dome shape. I was feeling guilty when no flower appear in the next spring. Is the dome shape the best for this tree? Please advice. Thank you.
