Like you said, I would love to see a 6 month update on this tree. I can see where your intentions for it are, and it would be nice to see if the tree agrees 😉

Peter is truly a master.

12:20 I wonder how plants feel when Peter Chan gets his "little" axe! :))))

I love how respectful he is about cutting other peoples trees. I came to you for a reason sir please cut away!!

I really enjoyed this video. I'm glad you left most of the analysis and thought process portion in the video, rather than just cutting it out and skipping to the pruning

Hello I am a new subscriber and I want to thank you because watching you work with these trees and shrubs has made me much braver working on my Japanese Maples. I have one with canopy 20 feet long and about 6 foot high. I was so afraid to touch it, but now I crawled under it and removed so much dead. I still have trouble "seeing" the tree I want, but I am no longer afraid! Thank you for inspiring me. I'm 62 and crawling under trees!! 😍

This was a small gem transformation again. I really thought the tree was going to look oke, but it turned into 2 amazing bonsai

That's the videos I really like.

The owner should be very happy having the great master Mr. Chan helping him with his trees. Hopefully he was. I think the tree came out fantastic. Thank you Mr. Chan for explaining so thoroughly the details.

I'm actually pretty suprised at the final result on this one. Keen to see how it looks 6months from now

Your bag theory is very good and helpful for visualizing the tree from different angles.

Yeeeeeeeesssssss!!!!!!! My kind of trees .how can one not love this dude ?💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. So many lessons in this video .now i understand why keep complicated things in and round the house 😉🍻

There's always more than one solution...LIKE IT!!

I absolutely love your videos I'm 34 and been doing bonsai since I was 13 and I'm still learning new things from you

Wow, great job Peter, I absolutely adore watching your videos. Love your work! You've inspired me a lot.

Truly amazing watching such a master at work, excellent video Peter, thanks!

That's what I call two for one....great lesson...thank you Peter ...great video

48:24 That smile on peter chan's face🖤

Order out of chaos indeed Peter, bravo. Can't wait for the next one. Cheers 🌲🌲🌲

What a great job Peter , amazing.

I really hope you can come back to this tree in the fall. I would love to see its progression. One of the things I find very often, is demonstrations are very inspiring, but getting to see the same works much later on, maybe even in stages of say, 6 month intervals, would be VERY helpful. Very few people come back to works months later to show you the development, and how to deal with it as it continues...Really liked this video Mr. Chan. Because one of the hardest things I am trying to get past, is seeing the possibility in a tree. I have SO many, that I have not done anything to, because frankly, I sometimes dont know where to start.

Very interesting to see you working with such a complicated tree. I can tell how much you love a challenge. :) And a beautiful result as well.

Parabéns seu Herons, sucesso sempre.

What an excellent exercise! Terrific video! Can’t wait to revisit this tree if the owner hopefully brings it back! 🌳

It looks brilliant. A very enlightening video. Thank you.

A master class from master Peter Chan👍👍🇵🇷

Good job Peter! Looks great.

Beautiful choice Peter. When I look at it my imagination picks out several very interseting illusions. Like to see it in six months to a year. Great job. Karl

Amazing, the vision he possesses is incredible. The outcome is splendid!

Good night Peter. You are amazing. The vast majority would have done a Fukinagashi style, but having seen several of your works, since you had your eye on that S-shaped branch I imagined that the design was going to revolve around it. I coincided with the first jin, the rest I would not have dared to do but the truth is that the final result has been the best. So many equal branches and with the same thickness were a challenge.

Tree looks amazing and I can easily imagine how it will develope. Great job Mr. Chan again, and love how respectful you are with people and their trees. I can't help myself to notice that the owner asked about being pleased, moved camera left and right, left and right :D so funny even if it's a a little over-interpreted

Peter, what an interesting video. I have at home an old book of yours, where you are a young man in a big blue jumper with "I❤bonsai" on it..I still refer to the book from time to time - just for enjoyment reading. And here you are years later still going strong!! Must thank you for giving me insight to a very interesting hobby. Cheers!!

This is the kind of styling I like. The end result has a free flowing naturalism and almost literati quality to it. I think Peter has done just enough as to not "guild the lilly". I also very much like the "running man" juniper that he worked on a few months ago.

I love the thinking processes here. I've been looking at this and thinking octopus over and over, really just enjoying the ride.

love it! It resembles a ship....very nice!

I hope you guys do a live broadcast sometime in the future. I think a lot of viewers would get appreciate out of a tour of Herons Bonsai. Maybe see an update on a few trees we've seen in past videos. Cute lil day in the life video of all your workers etc... Big fan of your videos. It definitely sparks joy.

A lot of opshins - - - and an amazingly beautiful result! 😎

Tree wrestling for beginners good job Peter. Appreciate the commentary.

I am not a green thumb and have never even thought about bonsai but somehow I’ve stumbled upon your channel. I am loving just listening and watching you work. I’m am always amazed at how I physically feel at the start of your video chaotic and unable to predict where you are going. The look of the trees slowly go from this chaos to peace and beauty and with the change in the tree I start to feel that peace. It’s like visual meditation.

I love your videos. Thank you for all the information and help 🙏 I'm still learning and I've learned alot from you. Thank you sir

Parabéns! Excelente resultado 🇧🇷

Beautiful, Awesome, Superb.

Incredible Mater Chan 💚💚🌱🌱🌱🙏🙏👏👏

What vision, creativity and guts separating the trunks! As you worked to make 2 trees from the one, the process had the feel of collecting yamadori. The outcome was an unexpected, nearly demure, refinement of the original material. This was either, "The Taming of [a] Shrew " of a Juniper or perhaps, Prof. Peter Chan's, Pygmalion Bonsai. Bravo🌱🌱👏🏽👏🏽🌱🌱 Thank you and your alumni friend. Watching from Boston, Massachusetts.

incredible ... Bravo !

looks great

Your videos are very inspiring. Today I went to the nursery and picked up a Dwarf Spruce tree for $10.00 US. I've been following your directions and went to town with the snippers. I'm very happy with my results so far. I just need to get some wire now.

PERFECTION. !!!!!!

thank you for a great video -- excellent tutorial and respect for the materials!

Loved this video! I really thought the tree was going to be the style at 22:00. Regardless it still came out amazing! We need more videos like this. When i run into trouble with a complicated tree i always go back to the first step and follow the trunk. Great video peter lots of fun and relaxing! Just purchased ur book bonsai masterclass. Cant wait to read it!

I love it!

I was expecting those jobs to be at the back and the tree still keeping a bit of the wind speed style going. Your result is also really nice! I didn't think it would end up like that.

As many other people have suggested, it would be super interesting to see updates of amazing bonsais such as this one

Turned out very well.

Complimenti vivissimi per la scelta impostazione e stile. La tipologia che aveva l'essenza era particolarmente complicata, ma come del resto la sua maestria ha avuto la meglio. Regalando pure stile per l'altro ginepro ricavato dal taglio del pane radicale.

Peter had the perfect tonic for this jin.

I'm at 18:47 When you hold it like that I see, Kabudachi/multi-trunk Or, Ikadabuki/Raft. Excited to see what happens. Fascinating how dividing it has generated so many options.

thanks both

Wow great job thank you

Amazing

Love this video! It gives me hope to make bonsai out of imposible materials

Really nice

You are great artist sir

You are using 4 gins in one tree! That's amazing. Rgds, Jay.

If you are the big tree, we are the small axe... haha nice one Peter ;)

Thats an amazing free tree

I had my doubts about your vision at first but am glad you proved me wrong.

Interesting to watch you work with a student!

Great video as always Peter, funny many of the cuts I thought you did so I guess I leaned something from watching you. Less is more and it's always hard to chop away but remember the more you cut away the bigger the trunk looks and that is the point right?

I am just mind blown every time you take a tree that looks like it's useless and create a masterpiece. Unbelievable.

Nice!

Good work Peter...you are Master😍

I wish I could be there in person to watch him work!

greetings from germany

Good job ! Not easy to analyse AT the beginning

Nice 💪

Peter, there are a wide variety of small and one handed chain saw products I believe you would really find helpful. They started making them for chainsaw artists.

Ppppfff .. that tree came out perfect.....I hope the owner is pleased with it 😂😂😂 ....👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

I am afraid I lack Peter's vision. I would have split the two, styled the first pronged upright with the funky bends, and saved the tangle for a Tanuki project. I love that you share your thought process Peter. The simple act of charity, sharing your knowledge, refining our love for the art is priceless. Be Bold

Making two trees out of one, making one pair of rubber boots out of two - that is: Order out of Chaos 😌 Love your videos, very inspiring way of thinking 👍🏻

🌳🌱🐨🌏 hi .artistic way out of a difficult plant .Keith Australia

Great video.... 4:45 in the morning here in the US. Good morning everyone

Excellent work. I was struggling to see what the design would be.

Do you have a new microphone? The quality is very good in this video!

did I see correctly that you are wearing two different rubber boots? very sympathic. I wish you all the best, you and your team stay healthy.

Seeing how happy you are in the garden all the time I popped [germinated] some beans [cannabis seeds] here in Canada and my my my it is exciting watching them grow. Too bad KZfaq don't like me posting the videos.

Really great video thank you for sharing. I had the idea while you were brain storming and figuring to plant it deeper and have that main trunk be as horizontal as possible creating a forest. Would that be possible?

Great job. Decades of experience have shown that shaping something like this out of such a "thicket". The owner is lucky.

Peter hates a windswept.

13:15 I swear heard the tree cry

The more branchy second side if the tree has potential for cascade I think, in a nice crescent shaped pot I think.

Really it's a wonderful bonsai, people made by you by your excellency. But let me know from where the plant is available. Is it be grown in the climate of Calcutta ?

An amazing transformation and process explanation from the Bonsai Master... thank you Peter!

wow very good ideas for treehouse lovers who knows what they are natural geography yes thank you so much for good advice ideas for yelling because they aren't bonsai meetings lank large enough I just turning years before I lonk trees years before should have been ok 🙏🥰

Super🌹🌹🌹🌹

I would have loved to make an unusual large raft.

"its like they're two octopussies in there" :D

Peter I need your advice - what Eucalyptus species would be well suited to Bonsai? I am leaning towards selecting out Corymbia ficifolia ‘Wild Sunset’ or ‘Cape Crimson’ because of the mass of flowers they produce (almost like an Australian version of a Satsuki Azalea), and because they are so tough. I live in a semi-Mediterranean winter climate, but summers are a both a bit more wet and a bit more dry. As this species is quite hardy, I was thinking to use a mix of 40% Kanuma, 30% Akadama, 30% coco coir (they’d rather be dry than wet). Additionally, as they are commonly a dwarf tree species, which is grafted onto different rootstock - I felt they’d be well suited to Bonsai. I say this because they will be more adaptable to shrinking down their size into a Bonsai. I am a little worried that there will be future issues with the graft, but grafting is necessary for this species otherwise it doesn’t flower. The up-side of that though, is that because they’ve been grafted they tend to be in flower when purchased at nurseries. Would love to hear your thoughts!

It's such a dramatic tree it needs a dramatic styling. For me it has to be a cascading windswept tree so that you're not fighting the natural form of the tree, while you're styling it.

Looks like a windswept right from the get go.
