"Don't blame yourself. Blame the tree." I love it!

What I love more than anything else about your videos is that the stress on individual options of the cultivator. There is an endless variety of techniques and options. Love the fact that there is no dogmatic options. Thank you master Peter.

He teaches such humbleness in his ways.

I'm inspired! Not only by his skill but also by his kindness and thoughtfulness.

Every time i'm amazed about the huge amount of trees Peter has surrounded himself with. And the sad part is that all of them are better than the plants (i dare not to call them bonsai) on my balcony.

Week 50 of Sunday breakfast with Peter Another stunning upload on the trees that first drew me to follow you and started my journey. Thanks again Hope your having a well deserved rest Stay safe Stay well From Derbyshire

I love your videos. My house is filling with Bonsai! You are a wonderful teacher, very witty. You have given me the confidence to make air layers from my 30 year old Japanese Maple in the garden. Much love and respect from Ventnor NJ, USA!

Thank you again for another amazing video!!!! You’re a treasure, I am so grateful the internet has brought your work to so many people. Much love from Chicago, USA.

I'm all the way over the Atlantic in the US but I feel like I'm right there in a wonderful teacher's classroom being filled with knowledge! I've employed a number of tips and tricks over the last year or so with my own plants and like the trees continue to grow I know I will grow along with them. Thank you so much!

'gnarled old tree' are probably my favorite words on bonsai.

Idea for the space between the tree. How about 2 or 3 mudmen just sitting on the stump. They have them sitting in a semi circle talking. Might look nice. Just a thought.

Subscribe time. His energy and attitude are infectious. Not to mention these videos are relaxing and very informative.

I could not take my eyes off that red maple in the background the whole time, and then he showed in the end.

Hello from Birmingham AL, USA Peter. I love your videos; I just wish you would get a microphone so that when your back is turned we wouldn't have to keep changing the volume. I have learned many things from your teaching and at 69 years old, I am about to start trying my hand at Bonsai. I love gardening and hearing the snip snip of scissors and pruners.

Good afternoon Mr Chan. I live in Québec, Canada. I watch you videos with great interest. I'd like to make a suggestion for future videos. Could you always mention the month when you are demonstrating some technique? The climate in England is certainly much milder that here and wetter - Springtime seems to start in late February there, whereas it doesn't start til late April here. If you mentioned the month, all us «foreigners» could easily adjust our practices accordingly. Thank you!

So many beautiful trees. I love the large maples 🍁

Nature also does not waste anything,so why shouldn't we act accordingly,loved this wise lesson.

“I got rid the dead branch it. Tink**” what a savage. Well played mr peter

I just finished watching the first video in this series. This is my first visit to your community and I am subscribed and captivated. Your pruning skills are wonderful and a joy to watch. You handle your Felcos as a Samurai wields his sword. It is most impressive to see. It is also quite obvious that you love the trees and you are passionate about horticulture. While I was taking the Master Gardener certification course at Oregon State University Extention, I opted to take extra classes in pruning. The instructors were knowledgeable but I would have loved to be under YOUR tutelage. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and skills. You are a breath of fresh air. I will watch all of your videos and tell any gardener that I meet about you. Domo arigato. Greg

Transformation! Lovely

Oh wow, what a beautiful trees 😍 amazing job 👏

Gorgeous and Beautiful Maple

What a sight for sore eyes they are... beautiful maples👍. Thx for sharing Peter can't wait for the next one.. Happy Holidays to all.

"I have too many Maples" what a problem to have!

I love this guy's passion

so inspiring... thnks for your great work and the lovely films. i learn rned so much every time. Greets from Germany.

Its a stunning garden

Using that bamboo stick is a very usable advice, especially for larger pads on rather larger bonsaï. I sometimes even use the bottom of the pot to anchor guide wires because it's only for a while. Thanks for the tip with that little stick!

Cool. You tell it like it is. Very good tutorial.

that was wonderful

We are redesigning our yard in Utah to accept flood irrigation and to create a permaculture with hugelkultur and biochar. in the process we listed our Fire Bushes (Euonymus alatus) Boxwoods (Buxus sempervirens) and Mugo pines (Pinus mugs) locally as Free if they dig them up and cart them off. the last one, a huge Mugo pine about 12'X6'X5' was going to be taken by a fellow that wanted to convert it into a Bonsai. I was flabbergasted, and intrigued!!! I started watching Bonsai videos and have really enjoyed your videos. But this this first tree differently- and I love that you allow everyone their opinion. I think the back with the extra branch makes a better front because it disguised that awkward crotch where you took out that dead branch. having it straight across like that from the 2 remaining large trunks seems really ugly to me. I would have cut a "V" shape into it rather than leave it flat, or use the back as the front. So much better.

Very nice to see , thank you so much !

I got rid of that ,just throw it away , made me laugh , Nice one Peter .

I’ve placed a twig on branches of lemon sapling, to weigh it down. good that you’ve made use of sticks official dear master Ji 😄

You are the best.

Inspiratif master, thank you for sharing 🙏

Your shirt is dope!

I watch all your video

A round pot would be looking nice with this marvellous maple (where you cut the middle trunk). I love these transformations.

Thank you 😊🍃

Love bonsai

Beautiful Nabari -it’s look bigger after you cut the trunk off.❤️

Peter, I like the bamboo pad tie down you used, although I have another suggestion as opposed to tying down with wire. I purchased a cedar recently that was wrapped with a cheap set of Christmas tree light strip and a weighted ornament was used to weight down the top of the tree to give the tree an overall drooping appearance. I just wanted to share a different way of tying down branches/pads as you used the bamboo. My point being that attaching a lighter weighted material to the bamboo would also save a bit of wiring considering that you suggest that the maples do not take well to being wired. Perhaps fishing weights or something similar tied to the bamboo would save wiring to a lower location. Suggesting the weight(s) would hang straight down as opposed to coming down at an angle. Having the wire in the base was useful in your application, yet, if the wire didn't happen to be there the weight(s) hanging from the bamboo may have become another way of holding the branch down. Hopefully this idea makes some sort of sense as I have written here.

Love & respect from India sir... Love to watch your videos.. #staysafe #respect #Hugefan

Thank YOU 👍👍

Shakal badal gayaa! 🥰

53:50 Haha, I'm always salivating at the healthy trimmings in your vids that I'd love to propagate but alas, I'm on the other side of the world.

nice shirt!

All the maples 🍁

Thanks for the video ! A nice relaxing way to spend a Sunday morning. I am going to rewatch your bonsai tools video later to try decide whether to spend my herons vouchers on a tool kit , or to build up a kit slowly and spend them on a couple of better quality tools 😁

I would use a fungicide armada by Bayer is excellent borad spectrum might be good for you Peter . I use it works well

Actually, the electrical poles in the Netherlands have pretty good Nebari 🇳🇱😂😂

Maple is a very nice😍😍🤤🤤🤤

At 42:00 I'd be tempted to try and bend that green new leader at the top towards the right, especially the right side of the fork. There is a bit of open space there, that new shoot is a bit straight and the top is a bit bunched together (all judging from a 2D video representation ...)

Your camera view was perfect

9:35 😂 I love it! “Many people use foreign terms to bamboozle people. To show that oh they know a few Japanese terms and because they know a few Japanese terms they are great bonsai people. Nothing could be further than the truth. They usually use that as a mask to hide their ignorance”.

I would love to see a video showing how to care for Japanese Maples. I have one and I am not so sure I am doing a great job keeping it alive.

just love to get any tree that you Grew I wish you Could Ship to the state so bad

i like maple

I would love to see a video on wiring and shaping shishigashira maples, they do t have the potential for high volume foliage but are still beautiful.

"Shakal Badal Hogiya" ❤️ An Indian viewer✋

40 kilo's on your own... You got alot of strength left😁💪 i ques if u keep moving your whole life, there is no real age connected, to your strengths

He can lift 40 kg that's 88 lbs by himself at his age ... That alone impresses me..

The branch you cut off looks to have spalting in it; its any fungi that causes a colouration change in the wood of a branch or trunk, wood workers look for it to add character although i think it mostly occurs in dead or fallen wood

Mr Peter. Could you make a video on how to stratify and grow maples from seed ? Thank you!

17:00 Savage 🤣

Mr. Peter can you make a video of maple works during this time of the year? Thanks in advance.

Before the coronavirus shutdown, you hear nothing but airlines in the background, now you hear street bikes or cars racing in the background haha

sir you are something 😊😅 fm Bangladesh

Oh golly July 9th, is my birthday. :)

Dear Peter, can you link the fertilizer that you use? thank you.

"Drastic maple decisions." The hardest kind.

Does anyone know if you can graft a branch onto the main trunk of a fully grown Acer please to create another branch on the bare side? As I have a lopsided tree due to lack of light from another tree next to it which I have know reduces.

👍👍👍

Can i keep a maple inside? I find these the most beutiful aside juniper

Can your please tell me how to propagate maple tree? Thanks 😊

Could you treat the cut branch wound (first tree) with fungicide before sealing? Thanks for the video.

I recently bought an acre palma. “koto No Ito” or Harp String Jap. Maple. It is about 3’ tall with a pencil think trunk of about 8”. The graft is at about 1.5”. At the 8” level it divides into two equal branches. Lots of side branching. It is in a 1gal. Pot. I am not sure what to do with the tree. Should I leave it to grow for a couple of years, or should I cut the top two branches down and wire it, or should I cut off one of the top two branches. I don’t want too mess this tree up. It is so unusual. Please help me make a good choice. Another possibility is to repot it into SA gums moss and let it be fo a couple of years. HELP

On the second maple you discussed, the removal of the the middle trunk created a real eye sore with the wide, flat, unnatural space between the two remaining trunks. I'd have rounded the flat area, sealed it, then used a guy wire to pull the remaining trunks a little closer

What is the name of the sealant you use? Where do I acquire it? Thank you.

what cut paste are you using?

Peter:Thank you so much for all your thoughtful comments. However, it would be so much more useful to see what you're doing instead of looking at your back! I wanted to see how you were wiring that first branch but was effectively screened by your back to the camera. No matter how much I admired your shirt, I would rather have seen what you were actually doing! Not the first time, so please try to be more aware. Thanks. Don C.

How long would you leave that bamboo holding the pad down? Weeks, months, years?

how often r the bonsai trees given fertiliser

Good morninf Mr Chan, is it possible to have the camera on your left side so we can enjoy and see your work. for now most of the time we only see your back. Sorry i hope i'm not too rude.... Thanks

55:30 is a great possible front.

If only you can tells us the years of this Maple or other next video

So cute sir ,you speak Hindi language ,shakal badal gaya.

Hi Peter, can you grow the Maple indoors as a Bonsai in the UK?

Sorry I did not get the name of the product you use to seal the wounds. Would you please reply with the name, Peter? Thank you very much, Sir! Also, is it OK to use paint to seal the cut wounds?

Where is the first one? I don't see it.

30:31 and the banana is gone. Hahaha...

Could you spell the name of the sealer you use and where we might find it. I am in the USA

where is part one?

Lac Balsam... available from eBay sellers.

1:23 What's the name of these 2 tree, Ficus ?

👍👍👍✍
