- Many people ask how the trees that I have worked on in these videos are doing. In this short sequence I revisit a Maple that I worked on in January 2019.

The ONLY thing Peter Chan is Killing is the Hawaiian shirt game.
That being said, my wife and I watched the axe and crowbar video. Our jaw was on the ground wide eyed. We could not turn away. So happy to have our feelings for that tree reasured. Thank you Peter. Viva bonsai.
Trust me my friend.
Peter can chop down a tree, stick it in the ground and it will grow just fine.
You are a master and I've never doubted you! You show great respect for the trees and for the art of bonsai, and I don't believe for a minute that you would show us anything that would cause lasting harm to come to a tree. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos!
Peter, I’ve come to believe you could plant a broom stick in the ground and it would grow. Thanks
Right 😂
I've never seen a Scotch broom (Cytisus scoparius) bonsai, but I have no doubt that Peter Chan could grow one from a cutting and make it beautiful.
no no... that's much too easy... I think he could plant newspaper and have it grow.
@@PghFlip back into a tree then make a bonsai.... Legit👍
@@luisw3406 he wouldn't have to make it into a bonsai... it would just bend to his vision and drop branches it thinks would displease him.
Peter Chan is a master. He knows what he is doing.
Peter, your videos have inspired so many of us newbie bonsai enthusiasts from all over the world...thank you for all that you do! :)
Awesome trees, thank you!
I appreciate you for sharing your wealth of knowledge. I am a self taught artist and came across one of you videos and now I have the bonsai bug! Like drawing or painting there is an inner peace that I get from that. I can see that in your work and your attitude, thanks for sharing that.
Never doubt the bonsai master!!
wow fantastic! I remember thinking this tree will never recover from that... and there you go, it’s thriving
Nice update Peter! 😀😀
Thank you !! Im eagerly awaiting the other updates also.
That is amazing. I only wish I could say I never have killed a tree. I absolutely love watching Herons Bonsai. I have learned very much. Now I need to figure out were I can find a tree as magnificent as the one shown. Much L.O.V.E
Love your videos! I never thought you would kill at tree! Haha.
Fantastic result
Awesome, all the branch cuts, root cuts give this majestic tree real character, I only wish I could afford to buy it😔. The video left me wanting to see more.
Very good bonsai. I take some things from you videos because I love bonsai trees I start to cultivate ones
One video I'd like to see is how to care for cuttings once you've made them please
Can't wait for the update videos on the other trees you have been working on during the videos
Yay another video from Peter..hope to see some more and thank you for sharing..
You are amazing, thank you for all your knowledge 🌱🌲🌳🌴🌵👏💖🌞
Looks great! Really excited to tell you I’m almost done with my second book from you. Bonsai secrets... my next book is creating bonsai from everyday material. It’s a little pricey but I can’t wait.
I still get. fan mail for all my books - Have you got 'Bonsai Masterclass'? I regard that as my best work
peter chan I look forward to getting the master class next!
Never doubted it!
Truly entertaining to say the least.
Super trees!
Unbelievable! And great!!!
exelent, will be a master piece, thanks for teaching us, you are the best
for a tree to survive you only have to remember 4 things. do the work at the right time of year, don't forget to water it, keep the tree in the appropriate environment, don,t accidentally spray the tree with weed killer.
That fourth one sounds so particular somehow… :D
Thank you for you wisdom. Can you do a video on fertilizing please?
There's already been a video on fertilising some time ago.
@@soberhippie thank you
beautiful Acer.👏👏👏
Thanks for sharing video. Greetings from Barcelona👍😊
Wow that trunk. And it will only get better with age.
I wasn't at all worried if it'd make it, it seemed to be quite healthy before the work, and it was done at the optimum time of year.
Pick axe ! Crow bar ! Remember
I thought watching it that Mike myers had taken up bonsai and then i reminded myself its peter chan the tree will live :))) and so it has beautifully .
I liked the root actually, gives the tree a unique character.
What great luck, I watched that video last night! Thanks for the update!
every time I get brave like Peter, something dies.
In 5 or 10 years from now, i hope i can say the same "when i work on a tree, i never kill the tree" :)
Ha ha, I'm beginning to think that I'm a mass murderer of junipers.
@@patrolland9740 lol
I have only been in to bonsai for about a year, and of 22 trees, i have had, 20 of them is trees i have found in mountains(yamadories), and only 60% of my yamadories have survived my repotting.
But i learn, and already now i expect at least 80% to survive that part.
When it comes to yamadories, i am extremely lucky that live in Norway. :)
as a beginner i like leaf trees best, because with them we get a much earlier visual warning when something is wrong, since they start to die with the leafs, then the branches and then the trunk and finally the roots.
That way we can step in and do something early and be able to save the tree.
Trees with needles is another story, since the first that will die there is the roots, and the last to die is the needles, so it take much longer before we see that something is wrong with them (at least for a amateur like me)
I still have one tiny pine tree from last year that look like it will survive.
But until i feel i know more about it, i have decided to stay with leaf trees until i feel that i know what i am doing with them.
Being a massmurder is not so bad in the beginning, as long as we learn from our mistakes.
But you should also try with leaf trees so you dont lose your interest and have someone that is more easy to work with.
Petter Eliseussen, I also prefer deciduous trees, because they change throughout the year. I have been watching bonsai videos for a while at first because I was given a bonsai as a gift, later because I thought I might give it a go. I have “started” by collecting yamadori from my backyard and replanting them in a pre bonsai corner of the garden. I have already lost a bunch of plants which I thought were impossible to kill. 😂 I am beginning to think I should stick to watching other bonsai rather than doing it myself... 😁
@@pansepot1490 I think patient must be the first thing we must learn about bonsai.
And dont give up even if 80% of all your pre bonsai dies. :)
It would be very strange if you was successful from the very beginning.
I hope you will not give up, and i believe that when you see the first pre bonsai start to look like a bonsai, it will be of great personal joy and inspiration for later.
Expect to do a lot of mistakes the first years, and be ok with that, as long as you try to find out why.
That is pretty much the only way to learn.
One of the mistakes i did in the beginning with the yamadories, was that i kept to much of the organic soil around the roots when i repotted them.
That can be both good and bad.
But because of that i over-watered them and drowned the roots because organic soil does not have so good drainage.
So lately i only keep a minimum of the organic soil, and use mostly bonsai soil, because then it is almost impossible to drown the roots because it has so good drainage.
(but it must be said that if you put it in a bonsai training pot directly from the nature, you usually must cut a lot more roots, and therefore the chance of the tree to die is much greater.)
So the best is probably to keep as much of the roots as possible and let the tree stabilise before it goes in to a bonsai training pot.
But because it is so easy to find yamadories where i live, i prefer to put them strait in to the training pot, and do the best i can from there.
And if i manage to get 80% of them to survive the first year like that, i will be very pleased.
Also, if the yamadori does not have deep roots, but roots that are spread outwards, you will often see some white micro fungus among the roots(often at the bottom of the root system) that kind of look like roots.
Its important to keep as much as possible of this white stuff when you are repotting the tree, because this helps the roots of the tree to get energy, minerals and so from the soil.
(All roots have this white stuff that work together with the roots, its just much more easy to see it, and it is often more concentrated in one area in a flat root system then it is on roots that spread it self in all direction both to the sides and downwards)
For us amateurs, i think that maybe the part where we move it from their natural ground to where we want them to be, is the most critical and difficult part.
Once they have survived the repotting and established roots there, things will be more easy. (even if we as beginners must expect even some of them to die also.)
Dont give up, and take pleasure in those that survive. :)
Also remember that i am new at this, so it might be wrong some of the things i say..
Smashing!
Man I'm watering and feeding my maple but I'm starting to see some leaves curl.up and dry up a bit , any advice on that sir?
💖
Sir ji, Please use power tools.

That trunk is massive 😳👏
It must be super old and/or originally had 30ft tall of growth? Grown in ground?
Is it even possible to get a thick trunk in a big nursery pot (7 or 15gallon pot)? Or, is in-ground growing required?
Must’ve been a lot of trunk chops for its’ development 👏
My maples are only pencil thick 😅😆🤣
Un grande maestro
That root really was ugly. The tree is indeed looking much better now. And very healthy, too.
Maybe some moss or a rock to cover the place where the root was and it won't be noticeable at all anymore.
Thank you!
Never had a bonsai die? Could you do a clip on most likely ways a tree can die? I have a very sick yew yamadori that was very happy for a year then brown😭. Very sad!! Thanks
See my video on Watering and feeding
Thank you. I had been using compost as a component of the soil. Overwatering might be responsible.
What is the Japanese maple cultivar?
Am I able to wire nursery stock anytime if the year?
Yes
But to his left you pretty much can see some dead plant....
They are customers trees for bringing back to life
You've been doing this your whole life and people still question you? Silly people.
This ones for all the HATERS
the roots are ugly because they go round and round
I'm sorry but you cant say none of your trees every die. Trees will die, you may not kill a whole lot of trees. I'm sure you have killed and will kill quite a few trees. But I like your videos and will keep watching I seen the video on that tree. Thanks for the update looks great
