I started this rabbit hole with a search for "grading your yard for proper drainage" and I have watched 3 hrs of Bonsai .......

Thank you for being so intellectually unselfish with your teaching! You not only teach the classical art of bonsai but you also teach people to think artistically subjective so each person can produce something different and personal. You are such a great teacher!!!

What ever this guy says about bonsais I'll believe him.

He pets them and I LOVE THAT! 💘

When I first saw the plant in the nursery, I would not have guessed he would end up with what he did. Nice to see that it is possible to create. Inspirational to a newbie like me :-)

If you’re not prepared to prune, you won’t make much progress. In bonsai and in life.

I've waited 55 years to begin mine. After watching you, I'm finally ready. Wonderful educational videos, thank you.

You Sir are one of the best teachers on the internet. Thank you for sharing this

Thank You Master Chan, for sharing your wisdom and expertise with us common folk! I met you when, to my delight, my son, when asked what he wanted for his 14th birthday, replied, "Bonsai"! In researching how to trim the creeping Juniper I already have, I've fallen in love with everything about you; your artistic talents, passion, Heron Nursery, anecdotes on life in general. Because of you, I will be able to make a beautiful bonsai to give my son. If everyone in this world was more like you, this truly would be heaven on Earth! God Bless You!

Well I have declared this man a Master and my inspiration to bonsai everything.

I was completely mesmerized. I never thought to create a Bonsai tree could be so captivating. These videos with this obviously master in Bonsai is hugely appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you for showing that even inexperienced growers can produce a decent looking bonsai from nursery stock for not much money. Not everyone can afford 100’s of pounds for ready made bonsai. Beautiful little tree.

After reading the other comments I can only agree in saying it is wonderful to see a master craftsman demonstrate how the fine art of Bonsai is done....I would also like to see additional videos especially on the lacey leaf Japanese Maple Bonsai. Thanks so much I have wondered about this art for years and how it is done.

I’m going to try a juniper now that you have shown me how to do it. Thank you!

AMAZING! you can take a simple specimen of a tree or shrub and turn it inot something beautiful! I can't get enough of watching your videos and the magic you work with bonsai. thank you! 🤗

I'd sit at his feet as a student and learn all day. I'm ready to do this!

Everything Peter touches turns out so well. Such a nice story teller. Calm and relaxing to watch.

It’s fascinating to watch a master at work and to gradually see something beautiful appear from a tangled mess.I am learning so much from you.Thankyou.

You sir are the real deal. You are the true meaning behind Bonsai. It is a honor to listen to you, and listening to your advise and techniques for me is a gift. Thank you for the time you take to teach us. Please know that it is much appreciated.

I like him. :-) he is so giving and sharing the joy he found in plants. So addictive!

You are an amazing gentleman

The best Bonsai video I have came across, I'm a beginner to the world of Bonsai, but with this short lesson I think it covered all the angles to try my first Bonsai experience...

I lived in China 7 years until 2016 and was hoping I could find someone to teach me bonsai, I'm really glad that I found your Channel it should definitely get me started

I’m 1:40 into the video and I’m already in love with this guy! I’m so excited to begin my bonsai journey. 💞🌳

PETER, i was looking for a video on how to propagate junipers and your video pop up so i watched instead ,,, its as great as the first two times i watched it

This is absolutely wonderful and I wish I lived in the UK just so I could attend your classes. I feel privileged to have seen a few of your videos and will continue to watch. Thank you for providing this wealth of information.

To tell you the truth, Bonsai videos are so addictive. I can't stop watching them and I have never created or own a Bonsai!

Other people: What a nice, confusing little shrub. This beautiful gentleman: You shall become a bird!

thanks for sharing. youtube is really an awesome platform to learn, the pearl of the internet era I think

Dear Peter, thank you for all of the knowledge you share with us here in the bonsai community. I have read some of your books and just love your KZfaq videos! I would love for you to share more about the finer points of tree care, cultivation, propogating juniper and Japanese maples, and grafting in as much detail as you can spare :) I also wanted to mention that your audio is very low on your videos, and even with the volume at its peak, the sound is difficult to hear. Thank you!! Josh - Ontario Canada.

So very cool! I could watch this for hours! 👍

Sir please keep sharing with us your incredible knowledges ! Seems like we could learn a lot from you !! Thank you !

Thank you for sharing your wonderful Skills. I am definitely going to try to create my own Bonsai.

Thank you for sharing your incredible insights on Bonsai. I look forward to learning more.

I had never thought of bonsai before watching this video.... awesome

Amazing skill of your's in Bonsai is GREAT.

I really appreciate the way you teach. Your great.

I love watching your videos very educational without feeling like being talked down to.

You started with what looked like an impossible mess, your patience and creativity is amazing. Be bold and prune sounds easy but is the most difficult thing for a beginner. What emerged is simply fantastic and a great inspiration thank you this is enlightment

Wow amazing video I loved every minute of it couldn't stop watching and learned a lot very much appreciated thank you

Thank you for sharing your knowledge about bonsais. 👏👏👏👏

Excellent work Peter

Could Peter Chan do a video on styling basics and how to pick a style and also elaborate on how the pot matters?

Stunning! Thank you for your instruction.

Felt like a kid in a candy store with the variety of pots you have!

He is GOD of Bonsai, i love him !

Ten seconds in I already like this dude

Very well explained and demonstrated. Thank you.

I love your videos!! ❤️ Very informative. Love the way you explain things in detail. I’ve learned so much from your videos.

I just got myself a Chinese Juniper “sea green” I’m very excited to work on it

only just found this channel who knows how after watching photoshop tutorials but im engrossed and this guy has made me want to take up the hobby

Omg this video has been the most addictive amazing learning experience!!! Thank you. 🙏🏽🌺

Peter Love the videos and you are an amazing Artist. Thank you so much.

That was magical. You are brilliant. Now I am all inspired to go get my hands on a common juniper and see what I can do.

Amazing!

I would LOVE an update on this tree! I am sure it looks amazing now!

Thank you so much for the informative videos. You inspire me to try bonsai. I admire the practice, but didn't think it was possible for an amateur like me with few funds.

Beautiful Bonsai! I love that Japanese style terracotta pot.

Your trees are so amazing! You have inspired me to have a go 😊

Thankyou, masterfully illuminated

This is the perfect video for what i'm trying to achieve with a little juniper wich looks just like a little bush for now. I didn't know where to start but after watching you working, i have some ideas. Thank you very much sir.

Very inspiring

He's mesmerizing, I love these videos.

Beautiful cascade bonsai

Very informative and helpful video. Thank you!

thank you for the videos! you are a great person, and a great teacher! please continue your good work!

Thank you so much for making these videos. It has been my dream from a young age to have a bonsai but I always viewed it as out of reach. Your videos have helped my dream come true thanks so much.

beautiful cascade

Thanks grandpa for teaching us!! I’ve used a blue star juniper for my very first bonsai

i have read several comments expressing how monotonous the videos from this channel are. I think otherwise. Heron's videos are so precious it actually costs a fortune to attend classes similar to this. Thank You for sharing your knowledge to us unselfishly.... I am learning so much from you.

You have a really nice voice, very calm and soothing

Thanks for the good information this helps so much you have helped me learn how to do my first bonsai tree. Keep working 😁👍!

Very nice, love the Bonsais trees.

As a bonsai enthusiast some twenty years ago who got away from it due to life, and just now having a revived interest, I know a lot of beginners inspired by watching this are not going to happen to have a cascade pot laying around. Years ago, I was in that same situation, so there were times that I would put the styled tree back in the original plastic nursery pot for the time being, a lot of times waiting until the next year to actually put it into a fitting bonsai pot. I know you did not mention this respectively, and with this video, you wanted to show the potting process also to make the video complete. Time is definitely an element of bonsai. Thank you for this excellent video. I wish I would have had KZfaq twenty years ago for videos like this.

I just bought one like that to try. Thank you for the great information and videos. I’ve learned a lot

Wow! That is amazing!

After a whole bunch of years I finally broke down and bought a tree. It’s a bougainvillea with a Y shaped trunk. I may be stuck with a formal upright, but that’s really OK. Going tomorrow tomorrow to look at young jacarandas. Maybe a little more supple. Bad thing, at my age, maybe hard to live long enough to enjoy them. I can remember when door knobs first got popular...

I agree, lots to learn and very educational

You really are a brilliant man! You have got me into bonsai trees in a big way.

Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏

I will try this in the spring.. Your videos are a great inspiration!!

This was wonderful; a whole new world for me. Very interesting and tranquil. Such a lovely man too. Thank you Peter! ♥ I really enjoyed watching & learning. Subscribed.

Myagi would be proud. Great Video!

Thank you for making these videos! I have a Douglas Fir sapling that I am going to attempt my first foray into Bonsai with. These videos will definitely help!!!

Thank you for teaching me.

Thank you very much sir. Iv learn. A great deal.

Thanks for inspiring me to make Bonsai trees.

So beautiful your philosophy. The first time i saw a Bonsai i was so fascinated....LONG time ago. I thought it was from another planet. I have loved them ever since. Im sure you encouraged many people who would normally be afraid/hesitant to try this art. Having to draw and plan is not as creative as looking at a tree and creating as you see what it is or what it can do. That to me is more professional and makes you a true artist. As you say, it is a passion and it shows. May God Bless you for creating such beautiful "Bosais"...or is it "Bonsai" and sharing, although i believe he already has. Using what is available also is a wonderful thought. Not everyone can afford to follow certain directions/rules, although maybe sometimes necessary. I enjoyed your thoughts , video and instruction and think how pleasant it would be to visit your nursery being surrounded with all those possibilities and your spirit and energy. Thank You!

Thank you for showing me the ingredients for bonsai soil i didn't know what to use

Thank you for taking your time to pass on this tradition that is so interesting to me. I don't feel like I would have known anything but what I learned from the karate kid movie I watched over and over as a kid. I think that's where I got the bug for bonsai, thanks for your teachings on something I feel like is a guarded art.

I love it!! Thank you

I was able to see until 14:00 this tree is so difficult to deal with wooooow amazing work sensei

Perfect!

I love the thousand bonsai pots!

beautiful

Lot to learn from you

I love this guy

Mr Chan your channel is very addictive Bonsai🌳🌳🌳

Nice video thank you.
