Quick Method To Make Maple Bonsai 

Peter, I had to laugh at 2:15 when you threw the chopped piece of Acer away and said "forget it! I've got enough!". It just seemed so funny after years of watching you do air layers and saying "I'm going to air later this...n that..". Good for you mate, let your hair down a bit 😂👏👍

Hearing Peter yell “Timber!” makes my day, every time. 😂😂😂

Hi Peter sir....I would really love to see a video of how you dig up these plants n transfer into a pot

Hi Peter your energy is so amazing for your age as I am more or less the same age and don’t have half the energy you have, there are some amazing maples to be had when you are able to dig them up and make quality bonsai trees. I am following in your footsteps and planting seedlings in the ground, within one growing season they have put on so much growth as compared to the seedlings in pots, I also planted the seeds from my full size field maple in the ground and they are doing well compared to the potted maples seeds. BTW I watched a video tour of Dan Robinson’s very large garden I am sure you know him,some trees over a thousand years old, a point he made that surprised and shocked me , he has never repotted any of his trees, he does explain why but I will leave that, I would urge your viewers to seek out his videos, his trees and their setting are amazing. Thank you Peter for your videos which help a lot of people to enjoy bonsai.

When I see all your field grown maples, I almost salivate! I would love to have just ONE of those beautiful trees. Thank you for showing this part of the process.

Peter, I love seeing you walking around the nursery day or night in all weathers; what you love keeps you young. I first came to Herons in the mid 80s shortly after you came up from your old place. I bought a larch from you, and we were in the old greenhouse that later blew down in the Great Storm. I also recall around that time you showed me the ‘galleys’ of your next book. You also came up to our club in Colchester a couple of times too. Happy days. R. Pollock

I just purchased my first Deshojo, to begin bonsai. I’m excited but also nervous. You make it look so easy.

Mr Peter Chan , thanks for your excitement it is very invigorating !

Is there any videos showing the process of digging up a field grown tree?

Thx for sharing Peter

Hi Peter, my approach to trim trees is just like yours, and I’m glad I wasn’t doing something wrong. My wife would yell at me when trimming trees, she would say who do you think you are “Edward Scissorhands” I’ve also learned so much from you and your videos…thank you. I’ve done over 10 successful air layerings from watching you and can’t stop now. I do have a question about field growing the trees. I have two areas where I’ve planted my potted trees as a nursery to one day dig up and plant elsewhere on property. Being so close together I would suppose to just dig down and then cut all roots outside of the rootball area. I’m sure the trees roots are all mixed together now, about 5 years in the ground. Will you be showing this process in an upcoming video? Thanks again for all your help

Another encouraging video Peter. Thank you!

Beautiful maples, they are my favorite of the bonsai

this video is a learning experience for anyone entering the world of bonsai because it is interspersed🙇 with lessons

I really do look forward to the Sunday morning herons RU-vid video. Thanks again Peter and the team. P.s. I’m used to the planes now, so most of the time I don’t even acknowledge them.

Beautiful!! I'd surmised that you'd surely need an excavator of some sort to get those trees out from there. So densely packed together!! 🌱🪴🌲🌳

I can’t wait until my maples are as big as!

Good morning

Thanks

Very cool transformation of the trees!

This is great. In my area, Maple is really hard to find, and need more special act to grows them.

👍👌🙂

When using the saw Start the blade before contacting the branch. That way you won’t get jammed as much you have a better clean cut.

Mr peter grow tree beutiful bonsai in grass land ❤❤❤

Lastima de desperdicios de arces, haria falta saber que variedad son 👍

Instead of air layering can you not grow roots from the cuttings? I always reproduce my Bougainvillea by just sticking the cutting in a glass vase until it roots. It has a 50/50 success rate for forming roots.

Tossing the beautiful leaved area of a tree to keep the branch and main trunk. Things those who doesn’t Bonsai won’t ever understand. And the fact Peter can make a bonsai out of grass and it would look amazing.

I got several sugar maple s🍁 and oak tree s couple pines to... I try to get trees with Long longevity life spans most maple and oak tree s can live over 300 years old...

"The trees have only been in the ground a mere ten years." Sousou no Peter

Nice maples! Do you air layer them now in July or next spring?

I'm a simple man, I see Peter Chan, I click❤

If this was in South Texas Peter would be fighting with kudzu (the vine that are the South), poison ivy, fire ants, and possible copper head snakes.

Can i cut the trunk and leave no leaves? Will it survive?

peter do the mountain maple acer plam hold true from seed? i know most of the other types dont

What cultivar is this? Do you use other than deshojo for bonsai?

‘’FORGET IT!”

"Quick method to make maple bonsai" ... "These trees have been in the ground for at least 10 years". Definitely admire Peter, but it seems a little bit contrary to say this is "quick". I'd love to see Peter do a trip to a common nursery and show his process for choosing material suitable for bonsai like most of us do. Much to my dismay, I don't exactly own a bonsai nursery with trees growing for decades such that I can just dig up a perfect specimen. :(

😮. Poison Ivy

All the cut offs could have been air layered to make new bonsai.

Dear Sir Peter Chan. Here in America We Need a Quarantine Nursery to Help All the Bonsai Nursery like Yours to Grow and Share your Awesome Bonsai Trees. But Our Government are Greedy Rich Spoiled Brat. In America We Have More Protection for Trees then All the Crazy Animals that Taken Over Our Country. In the Bonsai World People are the Most Caring People ever in the World.

You just cant not like Peter :)

Hi master. Maybe consider muffing off the fighter jets' sound. It's obscuring your voice.
