Bonsai Made Easy - DIY Hinoki Cypress 

"Less is more" - turning my head away for 3 sec - turning back: there's nothing on the tree

Nice demonstration of how you can create something beautiful with a little courage to cut.

I love how Peter can simultaneously be extremely humble and entirely impressed with himself

선생님의 유투브를 보게된것은 큰행운 이었습니다 부디 건강하세요 즐겁게 멋지고 행복하신분입니다~

the shirts are back - winter is over !

plus je regarde vos vidéos, plus j'achète d'arbres, plus je m'aperçois qu'il faut encore acheter des arbres je suis en france, je comprend un mot sur quatre, mais vos explications sont simples et claires, et tout devient possible grand merci

Peter, I never stop thanking you, I've been following you since your first videos and I think I've seen them all. I have learned so many things from you that I put into practice every day. You are my master of bonsai and sometimes even of life. Thank you

Remarkable work as always! I've been keeping a close eye on my local garden centers for when they finally get their baby shrubs and trees in stock for the season. I can't wait to try and apply everything I've learned from your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

After decades of gardening I’m learning new stuff.

I dont mind the super long 50 minute videos, but this shorter format is very refreshing!

Can you create a gardening polo T-shirt with the words ‘the two branch principle’ on it. I would buy one for each of my family right now!

Nice, less is more...well done Master...😍👌👍👏

Hinoki make the most ridiculously cute tiny trees.

You are incredible Sir! Cincinnati Ohio

*Cutting leaves is therapeutic* yes that is true! Thanks Peter 💜

Love this video. So relaxing, as are all Peter's videos. He takes away the blob and makes a masterpiece. And the lessons he presents as he trims are wonderful -- "less is more but nothing is no good." What a lesson! Thanks so much for the inspirations.

Need to find me some trees after watching this 😁. As always thx for sharing Peter, can't wait to see the next one. Cheers

Continuing to inspire I’ve made 4 trees today 🌲 🌳 🌲🌲 Purely from enjoying watching and learning from Peters videos Amazing

I've just bought my first hinok from you and it will be my first attempt at bonsai, can't wait 😀

Love a bit of Peter in 1080p , Looks like Peter upped his filming game!

Got mine ordered... Looking forward to seeing what arrives.. And what I can do... Thank you Master Peter Chan...

Thank you very much for the Zen lesson! We should not forget that Bonsai is also a spiritual enterprise. 🙏

Such a great Master of Bonsai creating beauty. Thank You again. I so much enjoy watching you work.

This was a really nice lesson. The change of scenery is also welcome :)

Great video. Your so lovely to watch. I love bonsai trees and I'm just starting to get back into it after many years. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for doing this series Peter! I always thought bonsai was a job for professionals

Very nice for a small plant.Thank you Peter for showing what you can do with a small plant.

Thank you Peter for posting these teaching videos. I was inspired to start my first bonsais just last month and the advice you give in every video is so helpful!

We have a small Hinoki Cypress that we made last year and it's still going strong thanks to all your teachings Peter. Thanks for all the inspiration :)

Love your channel so much!

This was fantastic!!! I truly appreciate your wisdom and your generosity in sharing your experience!! Thank you very much!!! Greetings from Southern New Jersey, US

Thanks! Is very ilustrative your video

I just grabbed a blue star juniper from a garden center to prune because you made this look so approachable and it looks so good and i have only cleaned out the dead stuff from the center and trimmed a few branches. repotting this weekend for further trimming and wiring to practice.

Thank you for making videos

Jazzy shirt season returns!

I have a small hinoki and I find it's growth pattern maddening! I'm just letting it grow crazy for now.

I got a similar size Golden(Lemon) Cypress tree here in India, and repotted it, and did some pruning to give it the tree-like shape. No wires used! Thanks a lot Peter!

love Your work , peace from Prague.

I learned a lot sir and I enjoyed watching you ❤️

Thank you.... 🙏 😔 🙏 Very direct and to the point. 🙏 🖖 🙏 😔 🙏 🙏 🙏

Fantastic Fantastic! The first tree is the Grow and Clip Bonsai from the school of Lingnan. Excellent!

I recently found you on here, you're absolutely amazing and I love your work, hope you're doing well during all that's going on here in England :)

Thanks Peter !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice hinoki

Giving away some jewels again ,thank you ...

Thank you!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!

My Hinoki arrived today (From Herons- thanks guys!). Once the weather isn't so rubbish I'll get to turning it into a Bonsai. As something a little different I also got a Lawsons Cypress from a Garden Centre, not sure how well they Bonsai but I'll give it a go.

U look adorable in red shirt Very informative Concise but huge in volumes

This was so helpful! Have killed two lovely little cypresses before I even got to work on them due to improper care. The cutting between branches lesson was great, although need more guidance as two which branches to select. Should the be selected as to thickest and most prominent and then remove the smaller ones. Seems obvious but I could not see what you were cutting as trees is so small. I have learned so much from you. Thank you for myself and the thousands of others you have helped, as well as all of the trees whose lives you have saved.🙋‍♀️

Great lesson. I heard it's difficult to get back-budding on Hinoki, and I wondered of there is anything one can do besides something rather complicated, such as grafting maybe, otherwise I'd worry about long branches with no foliage besides at the tip.

Yesssss

"Mr. Blobby." lol

Would be great if Peter would be my grandpa would work and have fun with bonsai everyday

I have seen enough of those kinds of bushes over my life. I have no desire to ever own a bonsai of these. Too many bad memories of spending time trimming and cleaning up after big bushes of these.

Love your channel. I watch a lot of your videos but I always have them playing when I working around my home and I miss some things. What’s the average time that the wire stays on?

Hi I noticed you didn’t wire this plant down to the pot ? I have never done a bonsai yet , I have all the supplies and watched many of your very enjoyable videos so thank you so so much

What should I feed my bonsai. I'll feeding vermic compost and sea weeds. Is it ok?

How easy is that...😁😆

why he sounds like mads mikkelsen?? i loved the work

I bought a Cupressus Macrocarpa recently, to make a Bonsai. I need to prune, style and repot it. I heard a lot of conflicting sources regarding the use or necessity of sealing wounds on trees that you prune. The tree is nursery stock and it is a reasonably tall tree. I plan on putting it in an aerated growing pot first, so that it can establish itself in the habitat away from the Nursery. But the major styling and cutting that I need to do seems like it might do more harm than good if I don't ask for help first. As someone who does not have access to a Bonsai sensei to learn how, other than your videos, I'd like to know what you would advise me to do please? Thank you for your valuable advice and amazing videos, they were a great motivation for me to start into Bonsai making.

Great video.Where did you get your shirt, by the way?

How long is wiring left on? I have some junipers and the branches grew around the wire so that I now have spiral scars on the branches. Did I wire too tight or leave the wires on too long? Please, how do I prevent this problem?

ok boos 🙏🙏🙏

😍👌👍

Are your bonsai care books still available somewhere?

Thank you! I have two questions: did you work with paperbark maple? Do you have any thoughts about it? My second question is about major trunk chop on old trees, are all tree have the ability to back bud on old wood?

Getting Master Oogway vibes 🙏🏻 legend

Wiring Is the wire left on the tree permanently?

Why didnt you remove the low branches

Excellent lesson. How can I find lessons one and two in this series? Videos on RU-vid are not in any semblance or order. Thank you. 🙋‍♀️

Are these trees grafted or true Hinoikis?

More soil is added to stabilize the the plant in its pot it’s cheaper then loading the pot up with protective installation or at least that’s what I’ve been told

Is this the same species as the "Sekka" Hinoki? I have tried the Hinoki ( Sekka )4 times so far. All have died. I am not really sure why. Too much heat? Too much water? 4 Times. I am always tempted to try them again as they are gorgeous little trees, but until I understand them better, I am very scared to try again. I really tried different things each time trying to figure out why they start dying off.

Less is more but nothing is just nothing!

The trees are planted deep cus topsoil dry out befor next watering if you dont water daily

What do you do with them next? Just sit outside for how long?

Hello Sir. My husband and I love your videos! I was wondering if you might have any time and would be willing to do a short demonstration or something on a Zoom video as a fundraiser for my non profit organization , Lives Made Easier

In my country all Hinoiki Cypresses are grafted. You can't even find 1 which is natural

Audio please!

Less is more but nothing is no good - Peter Chan -

Hinoki Cypress is popular because of the anime Naruto.

Sorry Sir, but it's not the "latin name"… it's the botanical name. And it's more often greek, as in this case. ☝️

Hinoki Cypress are not that easy to keep alive after a light pruning. I have never had one survive.
