Your videos make keeping bonsai feel so achievable to me! Some things make me feel like its too hard to do. Ive been growing my own maple sprouts, so rewarding! Hopefully they make it through dormancy during winter..
I bought all mine into the garage, lost my favorite but the rest were fine, just make sure when it warms up a little give them some water but not on the coldest days.
When I candle prune pines I use my fingers and snap them off. That way I do not have the brown ends on the needles that were also clipped. Just a little more tidy for me. I am not doing hundreds at a time. Love your videos.
The chunky larch is a beautiful looking tree. I have let an Aleppo pine get extremely leggy. I will try cutting the new growth in the spring to try to produce some back budding. Otherwise I will have to learn how to make approach grafts. Perhaps you could do a video on this sometime. Many thanks for taking the time to produce the videos.
Could you do a video of fruiting bonsai care please Peter... Pears, apple, fig, plum, cherry, citrus.. .. .. How do we care for these pruning , water, feeding, remove fruits or keep?
Hi Peter. My Mom and I are learning so much from your videos. They have helped us to become more skilled at making bonsai. Do you think you could make a video on how you grow moss at your nursery? Thanks so much for your time, and we look forward to your future videos. Have a nice rest of your day! :)
Thanks for all your videos, which hled me a lot. I have an request that you should make for bonsai on some Indian species which helps me even more I hope you would help.
@@priyadharashni3270 don't try to copy the styles used in Japan or Europe. Search for mature pictures of trees and scrubs that grow in India and adapt these to bonsai. Keeps you closer to your country as even your climate is mostly completly different to Japan or Europe. I wish you luck
Would love to see a similar video about junipers. I ave a small juniper procumbens that needs thinning out, but I don't know exactly how to go about it.
Another wonderful video Peter, so on the Hinoki, you use scissors or pinch? I have been pinching but they need a deep trim. It is a busy time, I have my first Red and Black pine from seed cuttings, it's amazing the nebari, some that elongated I have cut again for a double cut, wish I could post a picture, I have a couple hundred red and black pines growing now, hope to sell them in the future, my 2 year old red pines already have beautiful red bark. Just found out yesterday Black pine is masculine and Red Pine is feminine, I guess in style, interesting, thanks for the tips I need to get on these trees.
So good to wake up in the morning with a video about conifers from you! I just collected a lot of mixed pine seeds, when is the best time to plant them? Cheers from Italy!
you could still try now, but the seedlings may only grow weak this late in the year and won't survive the winter. It will be better if you sow them in early winter directly into the earth or stratify them in your fridge for a few weeks.
Could you tell us how to prune junipers? I've heard that it shouldn't be pruned like other trees and new growth should be kept, as tree takes all of its energy from these new tips.
Question about the pine maintenance, the other bonsai guys say to keep 2 branches or 2 candles and continue developing the branching in that way but you don't mention this, why you don't do it this way ? Just curious, many thanks - great video !
Will the Aleppo Pine grow from cuttings? I have a tree that is the great grand child of the Lone Pine, and would love to propagate it to make bonsai for my kids. Like many Aussies, we have a family connection to Gallipoli, and I would like to honour it in a living way.
Do you have any advice for using true firs as bonsai? They seem to be a fairly rare subject and as such it's rather difficult to find information on how to care for and shape them. I have a yamadori noble fir which I collected in early spring (well before it came out of dormancy), the tree is doing well. I believe it has quite a lot of potential, it's taper is fantastic and it has an almost perfect shape for a clinging to rock style (since it was indeed clinging to rocks). I do not plan on working the tree for quite some time but when I do I'm uncertain where to begin. I also have a mountain hemlock specimen which is a perfect candidate for literati style (or something similar) but again finding information on how to care for the tree is quite difficult.
Very informative and nice video again! Dear Peter, do you know by chance if air layering an "pinus cembra" is problematic or is it kind of the same as with other pine species?
HERON PLEASE RESPOND FAST PLEASE, so I am growing an indoor serissa bonsai and it’s in super good conditions and I will be wiring it and shaping it into Nigels African style bonsai with wire it’s my first time wiring it’s three years old and it has a 1/3 inch trunk so ya I need some tips please . ありがとございました
wire must be removed just before it starts to grow into the bark, otherwise you will get ugly marks on the branches which can take years to grow out if ever. So keep an eye on the wire and remove it if you think it will grow in. Even if there are instances when wire will be let grown completely into the bark to get a more older look it may take a decade or longer to let these scars disappear again. You can always wire the tree once more if the wire didn't do the trick of keeping them in the position you wanted them. But take your time and let the tree decide when to wire again, don't overdo it or you might kill your tree. Patience is everything with bonsai.
actually you remove it just when it starts to grow into the bark, it helps with recovery and further strengthening of the branch keep a very close eye on it monthly, although for conifers this can take up to 2 years, they just grow so slowly depends on how tight you wire it, too

Peter Chan is selfvideoing most of his recent videos, either by holding his phone with one hand, using scissors with the other and talking at the same time or using a tripod. I don't think you could do better under the current covid-19 pandemic while keeping his staff safe
