So I’ve added 2 inches to this tree! 🤣 cuts 9 inches off! We love you Peter!

Thank you for showing the tree closer up, cameraman :)

Keep up the great work Peter, I have really learnt so much from you. Today I made a "convincing" little tree from some old cotoneaster. Once I pruned, wired and mossed it, I wanted to run and show the teacher. (Peter!) I am a middle aged woman...my children think I've lost my mind! Genuinely grateful for all you do Peter. Thanks from Scotland.

14.52 and as a beekeeper, I am pleased to hear (though not surprised) that you care for the bees!

So many maples 😘, what a sight to sore quarantined eyes. Can't wait to see some update of your past projects. Thx for sharing Peter 👍..cheers

I find that my constant handling of my maples is counter to Peter's methods of letting maples grow out for a year or more. As a life lesson, today I resolve to be more patient. I learn more every time I watch.

Sunday Breakfast with Peter. Well worth the 2 hr wait for the video to be uploaded, As I’ve said before I love all your videos but especially your Maple ones. How often do you look at a tree and think I simply can’t sell that one.

Nice to see some of the older projects. Looking forward to a dedicated video on that. I remember people commenting that the cleaver tree and others would not survive. Maybe some of them will not be too stubborn and actually learn that it is possible. 😊🌱

What a treat to have a tour of the greenhouse and watch you working on the Japanese Maples. My saplings grown from Herons seeds are growing strong and healthy. I am looking forward to seeing what colours and leaf shapes i get!

Such a lovely way to spend Sunday morning. A tour and tutorial from Peter. 🙏🏻

Love the maple I'm learning from the master 😊🙏

I use windex on my trees. I spray it on and let it set for just a min then rinse off with warm water. Ive been doing it this way for just over a year now and its worked wonderful. Windex is cheap is why I like it.

When I watch your videos in spring, my only thought is, "For f's sake, when the hell is the snow going to melt. I want to start doing THAT."

It's so amazing to watch all of those video, got a lot of idea and a lot of advice, I live now in Nederland, and i just start with bonsai ,i do not have a lot, but all of my life i always loved Bonsai, because it's such a beautiful Art. And now watching all your video's making me really want to go further with it. i just need to look for the right types of trees who can grows in Nederland like Bonsai. So amazing, Thank you very much.

In Victoria, Australia I am impatiently waiting for winter to even start, let alone spring, so that I can do the next steps on my JM air layer! Looking at a tress of at least 60+ cm tall, with good taper - fingers crossed!

Thank you very much Peter Chan !!! I really enjoyed watching your videos! every time I look and I am glad that at least through the Internet I can learn from you!

So many wonderful trees. Love watching your work Peter.

So very satisfied with this process for the future's I hope to have in my lifetime ❤

Nice sharing videos

Field grown stuff seems to always be the nicest looking bonsai. Something about a natural grow period seems to give the trees a different character over trees manicured from seedlings

Thank you for the upload, always love seeing you work on your trees especially the maples.

Thank you again master Chan for another very informal video. Great stuff 🌳👊

Nice I was looking at mine in sadness but now I see what to do

As soon as I finish this cuppa coffee I'm going to go pick a tree to be my dumpy tree.

Mix a couple tablespoons of blue dawn dish soap, a bit of some oil, olive/ vetable, etc, and then a bit of some sort of alcohol, isopropyl or vodka. Mixed all with like a liter of water. It works great. I used it a lot of my junipers.

I love the maple videos, awesome again Peter! Are you going to do bonsai fest this year? I was looking forward to it last year!

Neem Oil works very well for insects.

Twice a day for a week it’s a lot of work. Late winter/early spring is the right time to apply mineral oil, aka horticultural oil. One application is enough. It’s not exactly an insecticide, but it works by choking eggs and larvae of overwintering insects like scales, red spider mites, mealybugs, etc. I buy from my local farm supply store because I am a professional but I think it’s also available in garden centers.

Fruit tree growers use a mix of bees wax and linseed oil as a cut paste when the prune and graft trees! They mix it to a paste consistency and carry it with them as they prune the orchard.

Dogwood also wares smooth, so it's been used for making loom shuttles

The arakawa deadwood reminds me the wound made by the vine's esca, an illness provoked by a mix of bacteria and fungi that can infect vine during pruning steps and slowly kill what was the most vigorous branches. In France, scientists fighting against this wood ilness promote some soft pruning techniques.

Goedemorgen,

against the bugs u maybe can try own mixture: 10pcs of cigarette stub per 1 Liter clear water. let it 24h soak and rhen you spray this against the bugs. leave on 24h ... all bugs gone. this is because of the light concentration of the neurotoxin nikotine. then rinse afterwards.

I did always wonder what to do about the nasty buggy boos. Now I wont worry, so long as I keep all things in moderation, then some spray from the garden center will work fine.

Hi Peter, Can you air layered maples when they are coming out of dormancy or would you wait until the leaves have grown let's say a month or two after it comes out of dormancy?

50-50 Listerine and water, great for powdery Mildew.

Do you have any recommendations for any species of trees for bonsai that do well outdoors but with only about 4 hours of sun light per day? Summer temperatures reach 100F and about 55F at night, winter temperatures are 45-75F and down to 32F at night. My yard is shady most of the day.

How about using a dremel tool? Seems it would be more precision , with greater ease.

Can y’all do a video of his history?

Sphagnum used is dried whole moss and not “peat” moss ?

I think some insects got to my ilex crenata. Will have to look into a pesticide.

Hey:) I have a question for you because i cant find any information in the internet for it. Which plants can grow together and which not? Im quite new to bonsai and i grew 3 jacaranda mimosafolia for about 2 years now. Now i want them to repot together in one pot to get one big plant. Is that even possible? Are there specific rules for it? It would ne really really nice of someone can help me :) Greetings from Germany and stay healthy:)

Peter great Maples. Q: can you trim Beech mid March or is it too late?

Hi Peter. What's the earliest that you can safely prune garden Japanese Maples (10-20ft tall) in Spring? I think you've said April?

Peter! encourage stink bugs they eat most pests, unfortunately they also go for the good guys. Swings and roundabouts

❤🔥👌👍

question, anyone ? , i have some young maples, that have developed split trunks, can i just remove any of the 2 without damaging the other ? there is no clear leader between the 2. or do i wait untill it is older and thicker before removing one ? or just keep both ? any advise is welcome !

In theory I would say it's possible but you'd have to consider die-back and have a specific style to go with that. (In)formal upright would be a no go for instance, imo. Maybe airlayer the tree first so you have a back up when the thing goes sideways.
