Make one. Dont get one. Buy a sapling or start from seed. Even if you only work on one at a time its really enjoyable.

I dont wanna make the tree stress and the boom.
what i love about these videos is how "rough" he is with the trees. and they turn out beautiful. Of course he has decades of experience to know how gentle or not you need to be with these things. So many bonsai videos have people using thousand dollar tools to carefully trim one root at a time and stare at it for hours before plucking one leaf off... this dude just goes for it! love it.
I love to see the detail honestly, I watch your videos to relax. I’ve never found a video “boring”

Rumour has it Peter has only ever employed one person. The rest of his employees are air layers from the original one.

I had not even thought of more than one rock!?? Trees and rocks, both such passions of mine. Perfect marriage.
Very interesting to watch, and please continue to include the “boring parts”, as you call them... to us they are priceless ! Nice to be able to rewatch and pause, as we try these things. I have started to sit pots on gravel for roots to extend! Thank you so much for these videos. I am planning a day soon to start rewatching all your videos! It will be a special treat !!

agree, I don't like "shortcuts".... This maple had already it's roots prepared for a rock; as if. I like seeing the process. How you need to work the roots to get it in shape, way before being ready to englobe the rock

I Love the “boring details” gives me a good understanding of how to do these things start to finish. Thank you for your videos!
Thank you Mr. Chan. You have taken the anxiety out of Bonsai.
"I don't like to bore you with the detail" Please sir every detail I'm learning so much
I'm new to bonsai (3 years) and you never cease to amaze me. I can't wait to see how this looks in the end (if there is such a thing in bonsai). I'll be back in 20 years to see the results.
New to the bonsai hobby, you are very interesting. The "boring stuff" is the most interesting. Thanks for teaching all of us!
You are the best sir ,all that bla bla from all so-called experts ,you make it understandable and interesting to do and watch ,thank u for the down to earth lesson .

But, he took it out “gently” at first until he yanked the pot off the roots at the end (smile) He just wanted to make sure he didn’t destroy the long tail of roots. Otherwise, it’s ok to yank away. Love watching him!!
Thread grafted my maple to add a Branch and it worked, similar to what Peter was aiming for.. Thx for sharing Peter, until next one and stay safe to all..😇
And hopefully you'll be showing us all your experiments for many years to come. Excellent stuff.
Thank you for your videos. Please continue showing us every detail. I can not feel bored from your experience and demonstrations. Wish you alle the best.
THATS THE WAY TO DO IT, JUST SHOVE IT IN THERE!! No fannying about . Love it. 😁
I've been waiting for this video a long time. But it has been worth it. Hope to get a follow up in spring and summer!
Rock bonsais look amazing! thanks for sharing
This is perfect timing Peter! I was just doing this too my trees. Thanks for the videos as always.
I love root over rock bonsai, they look absolutely gorgeous! I'm looking forward to see more of your 'crazy' experiments and the results :D
I kind of love how all of these are completely unedited
this is the bob ross of bonsai. Thank you!
Keep us updated on this beautiful one you showed us at the end, please.
Learning from scratch this amazing art of Bonsaï since 2 weeks now, almost done watching the full serie of your Bonsaï Training sessions online, and I must say, there is not a single piece of information that I could switch away, every tip given is just trully as simple and common sense as priceless, and I am taking notes from you since the very first video ! Many thanks again for sharing your knowledge and experience, much appreciated Sir !
Finally a video with r. over r. love it. I'll have to try it again.
i absolutley love how he teaches and shows everything. even using the translation for things, like surface roots... makes this even more interesting. stay healthy and teach for many more years! :)
i like bonsai very much, i',m watching because i want to make one for myself.
I like seeing the details, it’s relaxing to watch the practice of the art
Love the creative experiments. So fascinating.
God bless your soul Sir, thank you for Sharing your passion.
EXCELLENT tutorial video, sir! Thanks for sharing this technique with us.
Don’t ever worry about boring us with the details. That is the best way to learn something well.
So much knowledge. An amazing person.
Thank you so much for sharing all of your experience with us on KZread, watching you work has inspired me to get into bonsai
I would like to see 6 maples rotated together as one tree. It sounds like I should run a few 50 year experiments myself.

Never understood why your clips get thumbs down, you make the most comprehensive and easy to watch bonsai videos I ever saw and I saw a lot. P.S your webpage does not work, will not load.
So happy I just discovered this channel.
Steve coming in clutch, what a mad lad
This is relaxing to watch. Even if it sends like a long boring process. It's interesting to see
I love rocks! I shall try that with my new born chestnut later. Thanks, Peter!!!
Thank you so much for all the information about bonsai, it's fascinating! I am trying it out with 2 plants, and am very grateful for your help.
Bob ross of bonsai. Super chill. And informative. Thank you.
Just want to say thank you for all your videos Peter, your knowledge, philosophy and no nonsense attitude are greatly appreciated. I look forward to every thing you show us. Cheers from Australia mate 11
Awesome as usual...
I love watching the whole process, I think every part of your video is interesting
I was super inspired by this. I have a great looking maple and I decided to try a root over rock style. After exposing all the roots it had a beautiful root base that fit perfectly on the rock that I chose. I followed the instructions on this vid so im super excited to see how it turns out in the future

Feel like watching him n improving bonsais in my collection always.It is really a feast for my eyes.
It’s like you read my mind! I noticed one of my maples had roots that might work for this. I decided to wait until next spring to let the roots grow longer.
It's my first time really to see these videos and got hooked of this bonsai making! I just loved every detail shown and discussed. I love plants! Hope to get started!
Absolutely beautiful ! Bravo Peter !!!
He made a Bonsai masterpiece in 1:08 mins!
Thank you for all the detail....appreciate your videos and you.
Speaking for the crowd that discovered bonsai less than two hours ago, we LOVE your content! keep filming boring details!
Great videos!
Greatest ideas. Thanks 🙏
I could listen to him say root over rock for the rest of my life
Quite interesting and cool. I had really wanted to see how this was done so thank you. . Maybe at some point you can touch on keeping all those roots viable and not drying out so exposed. I had thought of using spag moss but I though that would cause a knot of roots due to the moisture so I was left with what to do short of watering everyday (sometimes more in hot summer) like I do with my orchids like mounted ones or vandas. Thx for sharing.
Both very interesting trees. ☺️ Would love to see that second maple again when there is some progress with those twigs. 🌿
I love!- ❤️Doing something kinda similar with one of my maple being inverse into it’s self. I grafted One part of the limb to the stock of the tree.,held in place with a thumb pin ,wire or Pruning clay.👍🏻
he is so right about maples in florida they grow like weeds they always pop up in my plant pots too
I like the root over rock. It makes the tree look very old. 🐲🐲🌲🌲🌲🌱🌿🎍🎍
The Bob Ross of Bonsai :)
Love you sir thank you for teaching
thanks for your inspiring video!
Phenomenal ‘experiments’. This gives me some inspiration about reviving an almost dead potted tree that the gardener wants to throw out in the trash.
ah, i was wondering why everyone was saying they liked the "boring details". admittedly, i noticed the quotation marks but i still thought it a bit rude haha. i didn't know it was because you feel the smaller details themselves are boring. you sir, may fear you are boring your audience with the smaller details, but i can see from your fan's own "mouths" that you are too hard on yourself. almost everyone who's been with you for awhile can attest that they like when you give them the "boring details". they hang on your every word and are eager to learn the valuable information you have to teach. your fans love you and are more than willing to be patient :) as is needed for the art of bonsai, so I'd say you lucked out!
gotta love this man's commantary
There was a sapling growing at the trunk of the tall tree at the corner, and last year I spent a few hours carefully chiseling it out. One of its roots went directly under the main tree, and the others went around the trunk and out several feet in all directions.
ure the master of all the bonsai reform schools.... congrats
Please be Safe Peter, 6'...you are too precious to lose! Another Great video!

The art is in the details.
Your right the detail is boring but very important and am Glade you show all the little stuff plus tell how it could be done and your opinion on why you do it your way
"We are going to be very gentle..." - 9:33 🤘💀🤘
Wow.... Very nice sir. Thanks
Thank you Peter
You say "I don't like to bother with the details" but this is one of the reasons I watch your videos, you're not afraid of showing the details of bonsai care, and it's really important to me when taking care of my tree, I'm less afraid of doing wrong now that I studied the details of what you do. Truly, thanks a lot for your teaching, it suprasses by far all the litterature I read ont he subject. Speaking of which, do you have any litterature you recommend on bonsai ? Because you often say stuff like "I read that in the litterature but I don't apply that", but the I don't really know what to read or where to look (for example, when u said that some people say that we should water the tree once a week when it's really dry, and you said in a another video that that is not what you advice). I'm not a native speaker so I don't really know how to search for great books in english (and the one I've found in french aren't that suitable for me, particularly there's not so much details) Thanks again for your passion
You are wonderful so talented 💖

I really love watching and learning from your videos. The clarity and selflessness of sharing your knowledge is truly amazing. I am literally a baby in this space and your videos help me get motivated to learn more. Would you have knowledge on what are the best trees in India that make good bonsais?
I have probably made this comment before but once again, thank you for sharing your knowledge Peter :) You are a huge inspiration and learning source. Hope to start my own bonsai/garden tree nursery one day but here in Sweden.

"this i've been having for 15 years", i'll be bac in another 15 to see how those twigs worked out in the gap
My newbie brain says "That three tree combo would look great even now in a flat dish. It's all about the rocks 'n roots in that one! :)", however nowadays, I GET the long game and understand your air layering goals etc.
