I stumbled across your videos and just love your philosophy and approach to your work. I’ve been a professional artist/painter for 25 years and have a similar philosophy about my painting. What resonates with me the most about your approach is not having a clear plan and let the tree sort of speak to you, as it were. I’m in the infancy of bonsai exploration and your videos are a great inspiration.

Peter... it’s a beautifully styled Pine!! Thanks for sharing!!!

What an amazing cameraman! Thanks for sharing the thought process of styling this pine, Mr Chan

just repotted my first ever bonsai tree (white pine). I have never cared for or owned bonsai prior but in my research i read that they would travel to nature and find tree for bonsai so i was inspired to go out and find mine. Wish me luck, i think im here to stay. 19 years old btw

I was looking for white pine tea budding time, and got captivated here. The more time I spend watching KZfaq tutorials the more I learn people don’t get as annoyed as I do with jets flying over all day and night. Beautiful tree. Thank you.

Was itching to change the pot of that pine..lol. Beautiful tree and well done Peter, informative and easy to digest while entertaining at the same time. Can't wait for the next one and stay safe to all..cheers

Thank you for sharing Peter, it's always the highlight of my day to see that you've posted another video!

I love your comment when pruning back a branch to leave green to pull the sap out. It is a great way to think about how much to take or leave. Love your videos, now time to get out and begin to work on my trees

Wow from a pot plant to a beautiful bonsai, another perfect job. I will have to do the same to a 30 year old monterey/radiata pine of mine. Thank you Mr Chan for the inspiration, stay safe.

Peter Chan.. You da man! I really enjoy these tutorials. Thank you!

Thanks Peter I’m just about to undertake two white pines, daunting but you’ve given me courage!

Peter you have done it again my friend, excellent job !

I find pines to be intimidating, so thank you for the approachable instruction with rationales. Appreciation for the camera operator, as well, with corresponding close-ups!

Excellent work!!! Thanks for all the entertaining clips!!!

Thank you. You are amazing. Your tutorial monologue is very honest and exposes your thinking to newbies like me. The Japanese five needle pine is a beautiful tree that seems very suitable for bonsai. Our north eastern American five needle white pine has very long needles and I don’t think it would make a good bonsai. I would love to see you style one.

Absolute fan of youre video’s ! Thank you so much!

Hi Mr. Chan, The tree came out beautiful as usual. You have a great talent. Your cameraman did an excellent job also. Thank you for sharing.

I don't even have a bonsai nor can I, living in an apartment, but I'm deeply fascinated by your detailed explanation. Definitely will consider getting into bonsai when I'm older.

A great demonstration of how to give the bonsai a new look by simply cutting it.

i'm just about to bonsai my pine, very helpful! thank you peter.

"Keep my options open." Please keep all your fingers too. Learning a lot from your video. Thank you.

I started yesterday already.. should have had some patience! 👍🏻 thanks Peter

Peter, every second or third video you are "hacking" off part of your finger. Remember, you only get 10 of them, for life! Please be careful. we can't have our Bonsai master with only half his digits

at the end it seems 3 times higher. Very instructive video. Thanks Peter !

VERY NICELY DONE PETER. ENJOYED WATCHING A MASTER AT WORK. THANKS

Nice way to breath a bit of of sole and character into the old pine, Peter. It now holds the status and prestige it deserves 🧐

Wonderful result 👍 I have become more confident by watch Peter working like this 😄

Beautifully and thoughtfully styled great video, from Cape Town South Africa

I like what you did to this tree Peter. i hope to see its progress.

Always glad to see you work!! Always so peaceful and full of wisdom thanks again Peter!!!! Stay safe and be well friend!! :::=^)

Thanks for giving us lots of knowledge about bonsai..I am learning from you n doing my best..thank you sir

I want to have a garden full of pines i just love them..

Pines are really difficult subject thank you Peter I enjoyed like always 🌲

I most certainly enjoyed this video.

Another great video by Master Peter Chan. Wow what a different 👍👍🇵🇷

another great video. thank you Peter.

I learned alot about pruning. Thx.

I always enjoy all your master classes. Thank you. You have inspired me to give the art of bonsai a try. Wondering what sort of plant material would work well in Florida, USA (Zone 9)

your accent is absolutely gorgeous sir!

Thanks again Peter. Lots more info for us. I did think there was a Dalek hiding behind your white background when the camera panned up for a moment.

Hallo Peter - no doubt, You are really great. Thank You

Im glad to watch your vedios .i ve master the basic of cutting and shaping. I want to improve my skill in gardening.

Peter super travail....merci

Nice One. I have a White Pine, unattended, I'm just letting it grow. Mine needs a bigger trunk also.

I'm just getting into bonsai, and your videos are amazing! A local health food store had a lot of common fig trees for sale, so I'm going to try my hand at an indoor grow on one of those. Also I plan to get a small black pine so I can really put a lot of shape into it and develop it from its earliest stages.

It turned out amazing

Hello and thank you for your excellent videos! What do you use as fertiliser please ?

terima kasih atas imfo dan tips2 nya bapak ,bapak semangat sekali ber karya semoga tuhan memberi umur yg panjang

Pete your a legend

Amazing transformation.

Top work!

🌲🌳hello. this video gave me inspiration for my Ines keep well . Keith Australia

Love it.

I like the restyling videos.

The senior members of my bonsai club have told me many times since I joined that I should only do major pruning work in late winter or during the dormant period in middle summer. You are doing this in May. Is there a risk of harm to the tree from doing this work at this time? I ask, because I have a Japanese White Pine that needs some significant pruning, but I missed the late winter period my club recommends this year, so I was planning to wait until late July/early August. Can I do it now safely? I live in Southern Ontario which is Zone 5b. Thanks for the great video!

"I'm cutting very gingerly" "is that a technique to use?" ... "No I cut my finger the other day" 😅 Great video and really helpful. I did a first prune of my white pine and it looks so much better!

awesome tree!!

Thank you Mr. Chan.

Very nice!

Thank you for sharing, this inspired me to do the same. Is there a chance to get consultation?

Thanks from italy

Another nice bush to bonsai transformation. ☺️ So satisfying to watch! If it hadn't been too extreme for the customer would you have considered shortening the tree? Was thinking that at the beginning but in the end I thought maybe the branches would look too thick then. 🌿

just teasing love your videos

Nice trees .. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤❤❤

Can something be done to thicken the trunk?

Amazing , what a difference and improvemenyt

Peter, should pads be flat on the top or flat on the bottom, or does it depend on the species?

have you worked with the white pines we have in america? this tree you just done turned out beautiful, be strong, be safe, and be blessed

My pine was looking sorry on one side so I brought it in a few months back to trim and turn into a bonsai...so it looked like a miniature oak tree. It coped really well and new growth began. Then I put it outside into the mild weather and it's gone completely brown. Does this mean it's died or will it come back later in the year?

Do Lobolly Pine/Pinus taeda make nice bonsai? There is a massive old one in my families yard Ive been thinking about air layering

Peter, would you consider creating jin with some of those dead branches you removed, or is it better to create jin when initially styling the tree?

It turned to another tree amazing

Hey Peter, what’s the price range one can expect to spend for the exact work you did on this JWP? Absolutely beautiful work I must say!

2:58 "I don't want to chop too much off." 25 minutes later..."I recon I took out 2/3rds of the branches and foliage."

Peter, could you use the waste as cuttings or is this not possible with pines?

Do you apply cut paste after this pruning?

Is not recommenced wait the autumn to do this kind of prunning ?

Nice specimen but I think if those 2 lower branches were removed it would look more like a mature tree and less like a topiary. Thanks

How to make pine saplings from cutting

Wooow

Are not the two lowest branchs too low?

All about the Felcos!

With a lanky tree like that, why not remove the thicker branches and leave thinner ones? Especially at the top.

In the world of the blind, the man with one eye is king……

In France, we say :" you have gold in hands..." I don't know if you understand that ... :)

That turned into a beautiful tree.

Peter. When is the best time of year to dig up field material?

Any ideas for a pine or anything really that would suit sub tropical climate(Queensland, aus) and be able to handle salty wind as i live on the coast. Good job on the pine:) i luv reading the gurus in the comments who tell you where u screwed up, bonsai wankers haha

Hope your finger is ok

I’d have jin’d that middle branch that was removed

I watch a lot of Herons Bonsai video and I don't know the time when filming the videos but this guy seems to repoting every trees he works on at any time in the year... I don't understand, maybe I'm missing something../

i cringe when the trees get topped cause it puts so much stress on a tree

Surely those low branches gotta go!?

First comment!.........Damn.

THE SECATEURS ARE INTIMIDATING

The temporary route electronmicroscopically tour because handball ontogenically shop underneath a necessary saudi arabia. better, boundless screen

Can't believe it: chap chose totally the wrong front- ignoring the v attractive lean. No win situation.

The usual rambling jumble. I wouldn't let you near my trees. I had to stop watching after 5 minutes.

He is a butcher!

The pruning you did at 11.53 has irreparably damaged the integrity of the tree...
