Making Bonsai from Large field grown material 

Your voice is not boring, it's soothing. You are the Bob Ross of bonsai.

It feels so unreal to me how Bonsai enthusiasts say things like "I have bought 4 dozens of trees 50-something years back and here they are" as if it's the most normal thing to do. I think if there's one thing Mr. Chan taught me over the years, it's being patient with things that are important to you. God bless this national treasure of a man.

I love when Peter does something like lifting the tree and goes “huyyyee” the camera man always giggles too 😂

Does anyone else think it’s sweet that Peter thinks we could ever get bored? 🙋🏼‍♀️🥰

Sunday Morning Bonsai Breakfast Club ☕️🙂🍜

"They may look uncared for but they all have potential." This is the fundamental hope/truth of all of us who are struggling. THANKYOU Peter for the insight and reminder.

„When you have a problem, cut it off. And when you cut it off and you still have a problem, you have a real problem“. -- bonsai teaches so much lesssons of wisdom. Thank you, master Chan!

My father died 2 weeks ago, we all have covid in the family now. Delta. But this video keeps me smiling. Thank you mr. Chan

Sunday night dinner in Australia and Herons…. Perfect 👍🏻

Sunday Breakfast time. Absolutely stunning result Many thanks Peter and Josh and look forward to the upcoming pine videos.

Sunday morning, and a coffee in my hand. An hour of conscious meditation, you spoil us! The joy you bring posting a video is impossible to put into words. Just know it really starts my day off with a smile! 😁☕️

I love watching the repotting side of things the most, using the root hook to remove the soil is like watching a mystery unboxing! You never know what is within

I find myself checking the video timeline. Always wanting more time with this man. What a great era this is. This free online education of most anything that you can imagine.

Thank you.

I have had so much fun watching this video, sitting down on a hot Sunday arvo, with my coffee and relaxing and enjoying and best of all learning or relearning things I may have forgotten. I think that is such a transformation,I just love it. Thank you so much.

I am never bored. I just wish I lived there so I could buy from Peter. I love your you tubes

Your voice is not boring, Peter. It's calming...all the way to the Philippines. :)

An hour long video😍... What else does one need for a perfect Sunday afternoon 😊

Apple, please sponsor Heron's Bonsai!

I've been watching enough of these videos to usually see "the vision". This one snuck up on me. Looks nice.

I am in London over the next few days really hoping to finally come and visit and buy a bonsai 🤞🏽🤞🏽

I have been caring for Bonsai trees for over 25 years now, most everything I have learned is self thought and trail and error. I go to nursery’s and look for plants with potentials to be a Bonsai trees, junipers work best for me, even though they say junipers don’t survive indoor I have multiple trees that have done very well. Thank you Peter truly enjoyed this video.

What a result 👍, thx for sharing Peter and Josh 👏.

You have quickly become one of my favorite channels on youtube. I really enjoy watching you transform these trees into something amazing. :)

I just rewatched this tonight. Great way to reinforce previous bits of useful information as I go forward with my bonsai endeavours. And I just want to add that I don’t find your voice boring at all. Not in the least bit. You sound very distinguished and authoritative and like someone who’s got years and years of experience (which you do have 😊.) Thank you for all your hard work and generosity.

Peter your voice i find very peaceful and calming

Saying you have a good eye is an understatement for sure. Good job

I see everything.. and I also see that you have security video Surveillance which is very wise! My favorite nursery in Dayton Ohio was Is recently burglarized and I'm beside myself with Disgust! Northwest Garden Center has the largest selection of bonsai trees in probably a 300 mile radius here in Ohio. I am in first name relationship with the 80+ year old owner and 55+ year old son. Both are Dayton natives.. Everyone older then 30 can sing their commercial which has been playing for 40 plus years. They have bonsai grow from seed that are now 50 years old! The thieves took 3000 dollars from this Dayton landmark but luckily didn't touch the priceless bonsai trees only inches away! The owners wife of 70 years passed away Recently and I feel so bad for him. If anyone is in the Southern Ohio region it's worth a visit definitely. Great selection and prices are behind reasonable. Sometimes I feel like I should pay more its so reasonable.. anyway good vibes and prayers never hurt anyone.

The lowest left branch saves the day. Nice move, bravo. Rgds, Jay.

What a change! Now it looks beautiful!! Thank you, Peter!

I dont find your voice to be boring. you speak with interest and with eloquent verbage that is refreshing for this US southerner to listen to.

U don't have a boring voice u have a voice of a master teacher and very soft but powerful and u Des play great paitiants

I am very excited to see some more pine work from you! I have lived most of my life in and around subalpine and boreal forest so am naturally partial to pine fir and juniper for bonsai.

Wow! Many lessons in one short hour. Thank you.

Same with spring cleaning the house. I take a photo and say, "OMG."

If I could afford that tree and transport I would buy the tree. It turned out perfect, and seeing the transformation adds a personal touch. Thanks for sharing.

Dear Master, thank you for sharing the importance of trying and experiment. I hope to achive your brave and the capability of make the right choises. Lovely to see that also for a master as you, everytime is a new challenge. Best regards, Alessandro.

Amazing.

Actually Peter. I follow multiple channels that produce 1hr to 3hr content quite often. Although I do realize that many of your viewers wouldnt appreciate really long videos. There are many of us that would watch for hours without growing bored. At any rate, thank you so much for taking the time to record your experiences & knowledge with the rest of us.

What a beautiful tree it has become! Thank you for shearing, Peter, and to Josh - for helping out!

Just dropping in to say your tanuki videos made me realize the priced down 'miniature supported citrus trees' in our garden center were just shaped-but-not-set saplings with the potential for some height, like a tanuki wrapped around driftwood, and it saved me going to five other stores to find a tall plant I liked. Peter Chang says experimenting is good and you learn by doing, so I took a tree home, undid the ties keeping it in shape, and tied it to a stake. I now have a very cute, slightly twisty, four-foot lemon tree. Here's hoping it survives.

Branch splitter, what a tool! So many lessons here. Thank you sirs. 😊

I typically try to make more large (pre) bonsai than small ones. A video I would like to see is another "Bonsai for Free - Using Seedlings" it has been a year and would be interesting to see what has been growing around Heron's to be used as bonsai. After all, it was a popular video, over 500k views.

I think you are fantastic, Peter. I love your way of teaching us. I just wish you were in Ontario Canada so I could go to one of your work shops. I have never made a bonsai before, I am now going to try using your videos. Wish me luck.

Those trees have been in the same pot for 35 years then? Amazing! Great video!

Thank you, teacher.

Such an elegant tree. obtw Your voice is quite melodious. Your videos are often the zen in my day.

I think we like joshes comments, I'm sure he's absorbing allot working so close to you. Wish he talked more.

Maverick touch of Peter did wonders

3.30pm for me here on my little tropical island in the middle of the Gulf of Thailand... and looking at all of the 'winter wear' on Peter I can say I don't miss the cold weather in the UK at all! Lol... BUT... being in the tropics limits the choice of trees for bonsai... I can get a couple of types of Juniper fairly easily, but finding a decent conifer is cause for a party! 😁 I'm looking for pyrocanthia and Cotoneaster horizontalis at the mo... no joy yet ☹. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us 'noobies' Peter... 30 odd years after you got me started with my bonsai 'hobby' I STILL learn things from your uploads! 😁👍🏼🙏😎

i love the long video by Peter, it make my date very calm and learn so much at the same time! thanks again Peter!

I really like these projects. Loved how it turned out not how I thought it would end up. Thank you for sharing that was really enjoyable I learnt a lot form that.

Less about the hours and more on the detail,well done Mr.P,greetings from South Africa,Herman 👍

No wonder people flock down to see you amazing work

THANK YOU HERON… FROM MEXICO.! 🙏🏼❤️

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 thanks Peter

Looks amazing and hope to see it again at some point in time. Love to hear more pines are coming!

The branch splitter works much faster than a chisel and hammer. Excellent work Peter!

If anyone gets bored through the process they shouldnt be doing it, i watch it as its my passion, love the raw material, the repots and the Wiring, the cleanups the worst part as it means your done for the day. 😆 bonsai is life. Yesterday i Got myself a beautiful red leaf mapel ive started on

I've been a drummer for over 20 years now. I don't know how I came across your channel sir. But I believe I've found my next hobbie.

I would love to come and visit your place. I’ve really appreciated these videos .. I’ve learned so much already .. I will be starting my bonsai journey this year.. from Michigan USA

Dear Mr. Chan Thank you for the lovely videos. Wondrous works of living art you create- you are to me a master living legend. As a 13 yr old I lived in a forest & appreciated the small, weathered trees. I have many houseplants & orchids that are 40+ years old & train huge oak trees, best as possible, to be large bonsai:) I don’t believe there is a finite life span for plants - if cared for properly, they can live indefinitely. In the small coastal town of Little River in California, there are 3000 year old Pigmy pines - some probably older. You wouldn’t know it, they look like 20 yr old beautiful bonsai trees 5-6’ tall.

Peter is indeed a master of many truths.

I noticed that you have chanced your way of wireing. You used to cut the wire off of the coil before wireing but now you wire with the coil still attached. I just love to see that you have changed your way of doing so since it gives less wire waste.

The tree already looks beautiful!

Good morning Peter thanks for the soil you've sent me hopefully it'll be here tomorrow 👍🏻

I don't know what happened, its like a magic spell. I think I have to watch it again. Thank you for great learning 🙏🙏🙏

Great people working on a great tree ! Thanks for sharing 🌲🌳🌸 please show more like this 😉🤩

No way, I find your voice and cadence quite calming and reassuring. I got into Bonsai many years ago whilst working for a small coastal nursery. Lost the drive after my babies were destroyed by a malicious Ex. (I deserved it). But you give me the confidence to start again. Thank you!

The Master Peter , great job.

Staggering amount of work you have produced, Japan would assign you 'Living Treasure' status.

Smiled all the way thru this video! 🕉

Great result!

Thanks Peter for this masterclass 👍👍🇵🇷

🔥💕👌👍

Fantastic job Peter looks great you & josh worked hard love it

BRILLIANT! As Josh remarked!

That was a hard job!

Well done. Jay.

So so Beautiful and Amazing

Thank you Peter for another brilliant video

Wow. Peter what a beauty! Well done!! Looks great😊

At first I did not see where that was going, great job!

I wish I had your artistic eye Peter. This turned out really good, I initially I thought it was a lost cause but now it has movement and interesting potential. Please update us on the development of the tree if you don't sell it.

Superb, looking so nature 👍💥 Salute sjfuuuuuu ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💥💥💥💥💥👍👍👍

Looks lovely Peter you and Josh did a great job ...

Thanks both. An absorbing hour of knowledge, and a very nice tree at the end. Much appreciated.

Wow. One of the best makeovers! Love pines.

Love the large Bonsai’s

hi, just watched the video. clearly he is a master! will look forward to watching more...

You are the MASTER!! I take notes from every trim, every step of the process. Thank you for your kindness...!

Yeet!

This gent is amazing. It would be great to visit and spend time learning from him.

IT'S AMAZING! From just a tree in a pot... to art.. I love it!!!!

I wish I could create some bonsai for myself here ..

What I do to repot I leave the tree in a pot of water for 30 minutes and it loosens the roots from the dirt so it is easier to get to all the roots without wounding too many roots, I don’t know if it’s recommended but it works for me.

Thanks a lot for the video

You have inspired me to bonzi my Japanese white pine it's going to improve look of tree that's bending over already thanks .I have a horticulture background now I got better idea of how

Wow. It is gorgeous!

Soothing calming voice
