When Peter says "a light trim" I know we're in for a treat :)

When Peter starts out you think OMG don’t cut that, but in the end it’s perfection. True artistic vision and a master in his art. I love these videos.

Hopefully after 60 years I’ll have half the knowledge Peter does 😂 seeing him make the decision and give his reasoning makes learning so much easier….the committing and making the cut is the hard part our end

Did you notice, Peter is accidentally wearing his shirt turned inside out ☺️ Great video as always

Dr. Chan skillfully excised Mr. Blobby.

Peter showing us his flexibility while wearing his T-shirt the wrong way around. I just hope the customer doesn´t fall out of his chair watching his tree get a "light trim" while on holiday. :D

Such an improvement, yet I can't help picturing the customer coming back from holiday saying WTF! 😂

If I was the customer, I would be pleasantly delighted of the beautiful transformation Peter brought to light behind the dense foliage blob

From a doctor who loves bonsai I’d say you’re a bonsai surgeon with the highest credentials. Thanks for sharing Peter.

"I'm going to do just a little pruning..." Superb video and commentary! Thanks!

As a beginner this was a great lesson to behold. Thank you for that. I have just begun a new journey with my Chinese Elm. I’m watching as much videos as I can to learn for the future. It was a good lesson.

What a fantastic transformation. I would be ecstatic if this were my tree. If the owner isn't happy I don't know what would make him happy. What a lucky man he is to have his tree transformed into a thing of even more beauty. Just brilliant Peter.

Namaste Peter Love from India 🇮🇳 This was the real tutorial Thanks a lot

This is the quintessential Peter Chan video. Perfect.

The difference between the beauty of bonsai and people as they get older. Great!

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 thanks Peter, perfect !!!!!!

You were 100% right about the top, it's completely transformed, one of your best videos, knowledge and common sense 👏

Do it.. Do it... Do it... Yes!

Thank you Peter for another session of mental health. Lovely work. I expected even more pruning but the customer should take a some initiative. He is fortunate to have you.

The inside out T-shirt 😅

That is so true; age is beautiful. We are striving to be perfect. Enjoy your recommendation and advice Peter

What a transformation. Looks so elegant now

Seeing your foot come up to the branch as you held the camera made my day-your determination to educate us is more than appreciated. The tree ended up another masterpiece! Thanks for this!

Very nice looking tree sir

Huge difference... Thx for sharing Peter 👍

Your vision is wonderful. I would like to see a follow up video of the owner's reaction to his tree when he comes to retrieve it. I am sure he will be amazed. 🙂

This is a tremendous transformation! The customer will be delighted.

Customer: brings plant for care over the holiday. Peter: let’s do a makeover, the owner wouldn’t mind. 😆 Awesome tree!

This was a really bold trim …… with stunning results

thanks for sharing your knowledge, you make it look easier than it is but experience is knowledge

Salam bonsai dari Bali Indonesia Sebuah maha karya yg luarbiasa

I really didnt realize how big this tree was until around 6:53 or so when I saw you next to it from a short distance. VERY nice specimen tree. I have 2 Shimpaku, ( not sure what variety ) and will never see them get to this size. But you have inspired me again. Problem is, pruning foliage on these type of juniper is beyond my knowledge. Branch pruning isnt much of a problem, but foliage pruning is, I'm always afraid I will take too much, or badly prune the foliage. My 2 tree's were badly pruned a few years back and have finally grown alot of back budding to fill out the tree. So I'm pretty nervous, even after all these years, to prune these...great vid, thanks again Peter.

I have kishu cutting from herons. Growing in a large pot, for a future bonsai. Feeding it well. Its getting to a nice tree. V. Rare in the uk. .perfect for bonsai . Thanks peter. Looks great

Thanks Peter. Super job.

Great work sir! The Tree Work, to me, almost becomes secondary given the vast amounts of life experience and wisdome you drop so casually in your videos. Rly think thats what distinguishes you on youtube and among other Bonsai-Content-Creators. Well that and the inside-out-shirt-style you show of ;)

Peter , Every time I watch one of your tree styling video's, the finished tree is stunning ,this is a vey nice Juniper at the start and if it was mine I would have to thank you for the transformation, from nice to stunning .

Nice sharing videos 👏👏👏

I love the up close and personal video approach. Really love seeing the details. edit: The doctor is in hahaha. Love the cut.

Well done!!

Wow , great work, looks amazing .thank you for your posts.

Its looks so much better of the master worked his magic. Ps loved the socked helper 😉

Nice work.

Beautiful work…. As always!! ☺️

Excellent work.

Kishu and itoigawa are the only species of juniper i grow. Both very good for bonsai

Great looking tree. Thanks for sharing your wisdom Peter. 🌲

Been waiting to view more of these problem solving videos. Thank you Mr Chan.

This one got the full deal with it! Thankyou as always for the videos 🌳🌴🌲

It looks so easy and if it was any other type of tree I would probably be fine but for some reason juniper is like cryptonite to me. However, i am determined to overcome this shortcoming by copying your every move. Your advice certainly worked with my azalea pruning - I now have loads of new shoots lower down the cut branches. So thank you :)

Nice result

It's getting so beautiful!

Nice job 👍

I appreciate the importance of a good KZfaqy thumbnail, but I like it when you only see the finished product once you've watched the steps Peter's taken to make the tree that way!

You should make a sequel to this video of your customer's reaction. I don't think he will recognize it.

Not small trimming at all owner will be surprised. But looking good now

Very nice looking tree sir. I'm sure the customer will be pleasantly surprised. As the tree sits with the front facing out from a corner of its pot, would you then repot it to align the front with the side of the pot, or maybe plant it in a round pot or just leave it?

Bueno, gran cambio con esa magistral poda, quedo hermoso.!

What a Beauty! Great job

Love this. And so inspirational thank you yet again ❤

Love the transformation

I bought once a bonsai from the gardencenter. He lost about 2/3 of his leaves on the way home. 25 minutes in car, on the seat next to me, not trunk. Was quite a sad look.

That's exactly what I would have done😉 haha ha!! looks much better. 👌 Now I Want it.

Yeah, I'll just look after it and do a little pruning 😂

Neglected is a big word...

👏👏

😳Hold up,,,,, ,, , am I the only one that noticed Peter has on black socks 🤔 omg talk about talent,,,, he can hold a camera with his hands and prune a shimpaku with his feet😂🤣😅 6:25 hahahahaha I'm done.... dam.. but but,,, no no I'm done and completely finished hehehe.

Thank you.... 🙏😔🙏

If that was my tree I probably wouldn’t be able to understand how I’m supposed to wire it and to get it done for me

It looks lighter. Trimming is scary, because it commits you to a path. It ends the possibilities. I saw a beautiful cascade before the first branch came off.

🔥💕👌👍

Peter, do you have a top 20 list of your Bonsai trees?

I would definitely be someone that is afraid of a tree like that one!

wow

As I'm afraid to cut and giving a second thought on every movement of scissors.

What are the red scissors you're using mr. Chan? Once again a great video, thank you!

would you brush Hinoki Cypress bark as well?

Not gonna cap to ya it looked 1000% better (neglected)

I was wondering if you would be creating other bonsai with the clippings from this bonsai?

In the safe hands of Dr Chan

Me gusta tu trabajo, Peter, pero...ese jin, tan intensamente escorzado, ¿no es lo que se denomina "la rama que te pincha en el ojo"? Se dirige directamente hacia la vista del observador, no tiene perspectiva ni profundidad, te "ataca".

👍

👍👌🙂

Why did you remove the bottom jin. It looked nice Peter. Now is just a round scar.

6:26 Is that his foot…!?

🍀🙏💚 👍✨

He turned this tree from probly 2000 to 5000

Are you originally from Malaysia ?

Do you, Sir, know the Lord as your Savior? I enjoyed your reference to the Bible. Thank you so much for all your lovely, informative videos! You are right...old is wiser and beautiful in those who recognize this truth...I am 75 and enjoy all your creative videos...and they are never boring. This video is no exception...you did a marvelous job on the neglected tree!
