My Grandpa planted 3 trees when my Grandma and him bought their first house. One was an Alberta Spruce he planted on two copper pennies!The copper pennies were important to make the spruce a poor man’s blue spruce. It did indeed turn a bluish colour. 75 years later the trees are massive, beautiful, and considered historic. (And structural in an Edmonton Suburb) So even though the house was torn down last year, my daughters still love the stories of the trees and can go visit Great Grandpa’s trees and the bench we put at the entrance to the park across the street. **the other tree is actually two giant maple tree that have grown intertwined with each other. They have a plaque with my Grandparents names, one tree for each, forever together.

Jireh Climaco - Sorry for the time lapse, I didn’t see the reply. The trees are now Heritage Trees. Unfortunately, the plaque is gone right now. But, they are located on the South Side near one of the Entrances to Mill Creek. If you’re familiar with Argyll or 91st at all you’ll find it no problem 9112-71AveNW - it is a BEAUTIFUL Ave for old trees 🌳. Also, please walk down the entrance to Mill Creek just across the street to your right and you’ll find my Grandpa’s Bench!! When you look across from there you might be able to see a little cement from a huge drain pipe into what used to be a part of Mill Creek. It was a huge swimming hole for my Mom and Uncles! For us it was a smaller creek style splash area at the right times of year when we were very young. It’s amazing how the land changes. All those bridges used to be train trestles as well, you had to watch your step. In my mom’s youth Trains still ran through there!! They had barrels on the side of the longer trestles you could jump in if you couldn’t make it to the end😱. The world didn’t take it self so seriously then. Slowly we wrapped ourselves and kids in more and more bubble wrap.

@gerry Wrong. So very very wrong. No bonsai master grows trees from seed, aside from small side projects and such. Originally bonsai were almost all yamadori gathered from the mountains in Japan. Nursery stock isn't quite gathering trees from the wild, but that requires permission from land owners, so it's not always feasible. People who attempt to grow from seed are actually looked down on by bonsai snobs. Please don't try to act as an authority on a subject you clearly are only starting to learn. It makes it confusing for other beginners :) All this said, growing trees from seed is very rewarding in its own right, and I often do it myself.

And it's been some of the most relaxing times this last week, getting to shape and prune and care and have it grow into my vision. It's videos like these that allowed me to realize that I could do it too.

I have been fascinated by Koi carp and Bonsai trees all of my adult life , I have kept koi for over 30 years but have struggled with the knowledge of Bonsai and the skill of making my own trees. When I first started, there was very little in the teaching a few books , I have tried but ,I guess I got to eager and once the branch is cut !!!!! Finding this site, late I know has given me the push I need to try again. nothing boring in the teaching just a love of what you do, some people can talk to you with out it being too much the voice ,calm, informative, passionate, I will now be checking in every day until I have watched all. Thank you for inspiring me.

This is a great informational demonstration of techniques and approaches. Bonsai has three basic technical principles, root work, pruning work, and wiring work. Whats worth pointing out is, In a year, stick to one thing, and you'll make fantastic trees. Working roots, wire, and doing hard cut backs all at once will invariably end the tree.

They are beautiful. They look like my property trees. Except mine are Ponderosa pines and Douglas firs. Sometimes when I do a pine bonsai I think it should resemble the 80 foot trees out side. Then I learn from you. I hope you don’t mind me saying ‘less is more’ every day. You are the Master of Bonsai. Thank you.

Thank you for the insights and words of encouragement to try something new. I went to our local garden center and they had some dwarf alberta spruce on clearance so I brought one home and gave it a try...

Always wonderful to see your "Process" Peter, it is never "The same" but always consistent! Don't underestimate how much we learn from you. 😀😷

Dear Peter, thank you, as always. I was wondering, would you consider showing us going from a early styling to more refined? We've seen a lot of first stylings/semi stylings, and a number of maintainance, as well as a few restylings. A few "next step", or late intermediate ones would be wonderful.

I think for this kind of work you're better seeking Bjorn bjorholms videos, he studied refinement for years in japan and has plenty of videos on the subject. Peters expertise lies more in semi trained raw material I think

Those are some amazing trees when it takes so little time. Practice practice practice shows in the skill. ps. "I'm going to do it for the heck of it" is now an official bonsai principle... :D
