    The transformation of all of those trees was amazing. I especially loved seeing how that cascade was created. I got a serene feeling just from gazing at the finished products....so appreciated in these pandemic times. Many thanks, Peter!

    Some day my ficus retusa will become just as beautiful as the trees you work with. I only had it almost a year. Rescued from almost nothing, an awful straight flat cut stump. Since then I've cut it at slant. Let it grow, then too much sun on the horrible side. So I transformed it into a hallowed trunk. Everyday I look at it I can't imagine how how much has changed since day one.

    Dear Peter
    I follow your videos about the ficus intensively and they are very helpful and instructive for me. I really like the simplicity in which you can understand each bonsai with the necessary resepect. I love your book and I'll put it on the bookshelf first if necessary for advice. Stay healthy and please continue with your videos as long as you can. Kind regards, Andy
