I take you through the thought process I go through when improving some large pines.

I'm really happy doing this videos have helped you to enjoy bonsai more and has given you a new lease on life. So many of us truly enjoy all of your teaching amd gives us new ideas to try and some new healthy practices. But it's even more important for the people creating the videos to love what they are doing :)

Thank you for sharing examples of difficult material. This proves that although challenging, even “impossible” material can be pleasingly shaped.

@jeffclyne1 3 месяца назад

Wow, you created a really lovely bonsai out of that tree. And that dead wood feature at the top was a stroke of Jin-ius!

@AncientAstronautArchives 3 года назад

You are definitely doing me a favour my friend, your videos have inspired me to start bonsai, I have always loved them since a child. I’ve been working my way through your channel over the past few months. I now have lots of trees I’m collecting “the mrs isn’t to happy 🤣” our window sills are like a nursery followed by trees in the garden 🤣 It’s a pleasure to watch you work and hear you speak, Top man 👌

Peter Chen is the Bob Ross of the bonsai world. No pretension, no gatekeeping, just "Relax and take your time. Don't worry about whether or not you're good enough, just keep trying and make something that makes you happy because that's what matters."

Hello from the states! I am relatively new to bonsai and a relatively new subscriber. I enjoy watching your videos. They are informative and you seemingly have a different approach or style compared to some other artists I’ve seen on RU-vid. You have been in bonsai since the 70s ? That was back when I still had my baby teeth lol you are what we refer here in the states as an O.G. Keep up the good work. I like to see people living there dream.👍🏻🤗

@Serentropic 3 года назад

Love this one! I've watched dozens of your videos now, but this is my first time commenting, because I just potted a couple Western Redcedars that were growing in my yard, and I was having trouble finding examples of thuja bonsai. I really enjoyed watching you work on this one and wanted to say thank you for all the help you've given me as I've started learning bonsai over the past year.

Peter, I like your choice of a "front" when you worked with the second tree in this video. The trunk leaning to the right does have a better potential as the front view.

@creightonfreeman8059 3 года назад

When you were questioning what to do with that Thuja in the field I was already thinking it has to be a bunjin. It was not one of those trees that presents the possibility of multiple styles. What are your thoughts on leaving that jin up higher than the apex of the tree Peter? Do you think it competes with it and should be shortened during refinement or do you think it is OK to just consider the jin the "apex"?

@peterchan3100 3 года назад

That is certainly a possible solution

I honestly think that before this channel, most ordinary people thought that only certain trees could be used for bonsai .... usually rather expensive! Peter has , in my opinion, shown that you can make practically anything into bonsai!! Never prejudge a tree until you have stuck a bag on it !! 😀😀😀

@Kooovi 4 года назад

Absolutely! He also breaks the stereotype you can hear sometimes which is that bonsai is very expensive and difficult hobby and only trained professional is able to do that. And that is, at least I think, quite the opposite of reality.
