Making a Large Christmas Tree Bonsai 

The fact that this bird feels secure enough to stick that close around is pretty impressive

the opportunistic little robin completely steals the show!

The little bird never misses a learning session with Peter Chan! :)))

Seems like you've been chosen as a Disney princess Peter!

Peter must be a Disney Princess for animals to be so friendly 😻

Peter not realizing we are not listening to him because we are watching the bird 😂

Who ever added that bird did a great job. Just joking, what a surprise!

The Help Robin is so keen!

I can’t pay attention to anything but the bird hopping around. It’s spunky attitude is just too cute.

awww, I made one of these for my family this year, perhaps at the same time as this filming! It's been hard to do things as normal this year. I saw a 30 cm dwarf alberta spruce at the local grocery store, and went at it. I love the idea of putting holiday love into the same tree year after year. Its also small enough to fit higher up on a shelf so little hands can get into our tree. Bonsai has made life better at home for sure. My 15 month old son loves to visit "plants plants plants" and "tREEs!!"; they help him settle when waking up is hard, when teething pain is overwhelming, or when he has a hard fall. Thanks to everyone at Herons for helping me build the confidence to bring some magic into our home this year. Words fall short of my gratitude. Everyone stay safe and lets make 2021 a time for growth and healing!

Peter is so lucky to have a friendly Robin as a friend. So natural

Thank you.... 🙏 😔 🙏 Dr. Chan, you never repeat yourself, you may cover the same subject matter several times, but you never do or say the same thing. I am a late, newcomer, but so far this is true. So much knowledge to impart. The Robin is only ensuring that the moss is applied,,,, just so. 🙏 🖖 🙏 😔 🙏

Robins, the gardeners friends!

i appreciate that you make it possible for inexperienced ppl like me, to use what tree i have rather than have to buy extravagant plants! thank you

Your Robin is so amusing.

Love the bird!

Merry christmas Peter n mister Robin , and all you tree lovers 🌳💚🌲

Merry Christmas everyone and especially Peter for taking the time to show us this video :)

16:12 rip headphone user, loved the vid .

Your little robbin is soooooo Charming.

Smbiosis: Peter’s bonsai project and the little robin.❤️

Thanks Peter. I bought a small tree for the dining room this year to cheer my wife up and plan to bonsai it after Christmas. This was perfectly timed.

Awwww! Little robin sooooo cute)))

The Robin stole the show. 😀

Peter is the Bob Ross of Bonsai

Thank you for showing us another formal upright! I really like the style because it reminds me of the old growth trees back home in the Pacific Northwest. Also, the robin investigates the moss that you've just put on the tree because it's a disturbed environment, and disturbed environments tend to be easier to forage from. You could try scraping somewhere else un the greenhouse after you put moss on your new bonsai and see if your new activity catches the robin's attention. Still best to screen the new moss on the trees!

“I hate rules.” Love it! Best Peter-ism to date!

Cheeky lil robin.

We are ready for the follow up video. 😃

Merry Christmas to you, Mr Peter and whole your beloved ones. And all bonsai lovers as well.

Merry Christmas to all, especially the little bird!

How cute, little Robin redbreast is your friend 👍

Hello Peter, a nice Bird in the Background . Many Greetings to you and Robin.

Lovely form coming from a master. I so wish I could take classes in person from Mr. Chan, however, these videos he provides for us are enough to get me to look at every tree as a potential bonsai ! I have tried my hand at three trees now and although I do not have the experience of Mr. Chan, I am pleased with how they turned out. I gave two of my friends my oak and maple and they love them. Thank you for taking your time and love for your craft to teach. Oh, and thank you for providing such background entertainment from your little robin. A friend in Justin, Texas, USA

Appreciate the repeating lessons. With each view I am more ready to tackle my first project.

How amazing to have a Robin around while bonsai to a xmas tree. Happy and stayed for ages. Great tutorial too. 🌲

Beautiful work love your art work in trees Robin's just rearranging the most 😊

Merry Christmas!! 🌲🎅👍🏻

Vera Nice! Love to see the tree back in a year! Nice Robin btw

Mr. Robin is helping you organically, eating any insects that come out of the tree for you. Nice tree. Merry Christmas!

What a nice project and what a beautiful bird you have there Peter

How fortunate the museum staff!

The Robin is the bringer of new growth and transformation

Thank you for all of your videos. It's been something to look forward to each week and I have learnt so much. Happy Christmas xxx

Please don’t shy away from repeating yourself! I learn so much!!

It's a little late, but Merry Christmas Peter Chan, my best friend in this Pandemia!!

That little bird was so fun to watch!

Thanks Peter. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas. Robin must be bird Heaven there.

bravo to the camera man... i feel your shoulder and back

Based on your previous videos, I transformed my little Christmas tree from last year into a bonsai in spring. It looks soooo pretty! This year we rent a tree, so it won’t be a bonsai, but I will get the tree of my father in law, so I will make a bonsai out of it as well. Thank you so much for your videos and guide!! Adore your work! 🥰 Merry Christmas!

This is really nice but that is also a gorgeous tree to your right!!!!!

Merry Christmas and a SAFE AND HEALTHY New Year to you Peter and yours and everyone PEACE ON EARTH AND GOODWILL ✌️❤️🎄🎄🎄

Merry Christmas Peter. Thank you for keeping us entertained during this difficult year. Best wishes for 2021.

Sir, take care. Wish you a very healthy Christmas and a prosperous new year.

The little bird looking for any worm... That good energy between humans and all nature there. Made me tears!

That bird is a hoot.

Merry Christmas Mr. Chan and your family and staff! Thanks for the soothing instruction and keeping the little bird entertained!

As a Finn I'm a bit jealous for those museum workers... But at least they can show off with crazy cool art of bonsai with Herons flair! Happy Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all. Your videos during the year have been very inspirational.

Merry Christmas from Ohio🎄 Your tutorials are so inspiring! I'm looking forward to trying a bonsai this coming spring with my little Xmas Alberta spruce. Thank you for all you do.

That bird is cool.

One more times gotten down after a stressful week, thank you Peter that you bring me down. You Peter and your little robin - again you are the best anti stress Therapy for me! Thank you so much for beeing the way your are! I wish you and your Team and the Family all the best for the upcomming days and the hopefully better new year 2021.

Happy Holidays to you, Peter.I am glad to have found you this year. Your videos are beautiful, educational, and relaxing. I have learned a lot. My garden has several trees and bushes that look a bit bonsai. Even the tree trimmers noticed and I heard them talking about it during their lunch.

A pleasure to watch, as always. Happy Christmas to you and your Family.

How apt on Christmas Eve. And the Robin puts in another guest appearance. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone. Stay safe.

Love this

I wish you all the best and a beautiful blessed new year, to the sweet beautiful little bird too!! Lol! Thank you so so much for all the fun videos and for the knowledge you share!! I am having so much fun playing with and planting bonsai trees!!! Thank you so so much again!!!! Much love from the USA 💝💕

Hi Peter, thank you for all the wonderful RU-vid content that you are throwing at us. I bought some starter trees via your website, they look very nice and will make great bonsai!! I wish you, your family and employees a merry Christmas and a healthy new year!! Greetings from Holland.

2:15 you’re a Disney princess

Thx for the helpful detailed instruction.

Great video 🇬🇧❤️😊

As a bird person, I believe that the little Robin really likes You !! 💚

A Bonsai Bird Nice😂😅Greatings from Germany

that is a fine looking spruce!

Even a bird can understand this new style Christmas bonsai. Simple and sophisticated.

This dude's soul is so pure that wildlife is literally frolicking around him without care.

Thank you so much for your videos you have given me confidence to do my first tree.... Now excited in planing for my next... You are an Awesome teacher

Merry Christmas to Peter and everybody else.

I'm looking forward to hitting the garden centers this weekend and seeing what is on clearance. I'm glad to see that I can cut the top off, I have a Colorado blue spruce in training but I find it a bit too tall. Was afraid to "top" it.

Done One Little spruce last week following your video... Happy Christmas and thanks you for your job. Happy Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone. :)

beautiful
