You again showed us how to never fixate on a style for a tree. Consider “everything” and anything. And be BOLD. Thank you Mr. Chan.

Nice progress! Also, I like the fact that Peter always try to recycle everything. 👍👍👍

Always love the "free" bonsai videos. The more information you give on this subject the easier it becomes for your viewing public to collect trees and develop their hobby for minimal cash outlay. Thanks, Peter. Just goes to show that bonsai doesn't need to be prohibitively expensive.

you are a guru. the entertainment value of your work grows at the same rate that i understand what you are doing.

Don't ask me why, but I'm in a children's storybook sort of mood these days, and I'm imagining the tree getting really flattered when it's her turn to be assessed and you praise her shape to high heavens.

Love a bonsai made with hatchet and cold chisel 😄

Credits to the camera operator! Wonderful job sir!

Absolutely stunning. Peter has the eye of a true artist

Maybe it's just me, but I was itching to separate the rogue sucker and let the lower branch grow 😁. Glad to see hawthorne and thx for sharing Peter and team 👍. Cheers

Watching this while waiting on my Herons delivery!

I love it when you go at the plant with chisels and axes and then say you don't want to stress it too much. 😊 I really like the end result though! Wonderful!

Woke up having a bad day, and Peter is making it better.

can't wait to see the other three trees in pots!

Great analysis Josh. I really like the 2 little shoots growing near the base

Another great video and an awesome tree. Peter I had never heard of root cuttings until watching your video. This year I have had about a dozen root cuttings take off that I made during repotting season. Wisteria, elm, and maple. It really is a valuable piece of knowledge thanks so much.

Thank you for sharing your experience, the video was very helpful. Nice to meet you and friends who are passionate about bonsai 🙆‍♂️

I love Peters attitude, no messing around. Great work

I always get excited when you put out a new videos.

That turned out really nice. Of all the field bonsai I've seen you work on this is by far my favorite, indeed it's probably my favorite of all the many I've seen you work on regardless of origin. If I lived in the UK I'd be writing you to ask about purchasing it.

Good morning Peter. I had never changed my mind so much until I started watching Magic Chan videos. When I see one I tell myself this is undoubtedly my favorite Peter video, but that doesn't last long, until the surprise of the next job. At first I thought there was plenty of the second branch, but then I understood that what makes it special is the repetition of the movement pattern.

The second tree would make a very interesting root over rock tree

Another great presentation, Peter. Cheers, Dick from Vancouver.

Beautiful work , enjoy your videos

Very interesting 👏👏

I'm growing a cascade hawthorn.. they are cool trees

Thats a really nice tree

As always, another great video!

Agree with you on the character. Nice work

Thank you and I am impressed by the number of trees you managed to get out of this tree. I cannot help wondering if the process would have been easier if you used a water jet to get rid of most of the soil first. my reasoning being, a water jet would have removed all the soil with little or no damage to the roots allowing you to separate the roots and the plants by cutting them under direct vision.

whenever the hatchet comes out...you know it's gonna be a bonsai fo free! jah bless!

Think I might have got the pressure washer on that rootball!

I really enjoyed this video and found it very informative and useful as I am trying to save an old hawthorn atm

Love Hawthorns my favourite tree 😅❤ really want a big one to develop

This is a lot like yamadori work . Great video

Beautifully interesting trunk on the main tree.

that tree looks great

I've taken a few air-layerings of hawthorn recently. As thick as my arm and covered in flaky bark. They'll obviously need to grow out over a tile in the ground for a few years but hopefully I'll get a similar, instant-ish result.

Loved this video. Thanks!

Learned so much from you today. Have a question about all the sawing and hammering away at the roots. Do you ever use a water hose and separate roots that way?

No, the video is a couple of months old already as Peter Chan already said in a comment a few above yours. And take a look at one of his latest videos where he rightfully said that it is a bad idea to repot a tree in the summer or every year. Bonsais can grow for quite a while in the same pot without any problems. Only trees with a lot of root growth or younger trees need to be repotted more often than old and mature trees. Some can even grow for 5-10 years or longer in the same pot.

Mr. Peter Chan, thank you for your sphagnum moss trick! It works like a miracle on the stressed trees and my collected yamadori trees. But what do you do with the sphagnum moss when the tree has recovered and the sphagnum is full of new roots? Do you remove it and replace with bonsai soil or just leave the sphagnum until it degrades?

Too messy with water

It seems like a rather wet mix with both the peat substitute (is that coir?) and the sphagnum. In Surrey's humid climate how often do you water this tree?

I just have to ask: that huge clump bursting the plastic pot and trying it tease the thing out ... wouldn't it be easier to soak the whole thing and then pull it apart?

My guess is that this video was filmed between mid-April and May, but it was done so with a mixture of common sense and judgement from past experience. The maples in the background of the potting bench all appear to be green. In the insect pest spraying video (6th April), the maples were on the cusp of turning completely green. So, the earliest it could be when the hawthorn video was filmed is around mid-April. But, the weather conditions in the UK have been quite odd this year. Many gardeners have reported that spring was set back a month (meaning that it was colder for a longer spell than normal). I have noticed this myself from harvesting my plum trees - in previous years plum picking would take place around the third week of June but this year they need about 2-3 weeks more before they are ready to be picked.

Are you stupid? Many plants including trees and bushes do not die instantly after being severed so there is leeway to set them aside in order to do something else. Consider the flower bouquets that people buy on Valentines day: the flowers would have been cut a few days previously yet will remain alive for up to 14 days, and flower buds will even bloom if you treat them right. As long as the plant does not completely dry out there will be life in the plant. Did you know that scion material (a severed branch) used in grafting can still be viable after 6+ months if kept moist and cool?
