Making Simple Bonsai From Nursery Material

Never posted first before. I feel honored on this channel. You inspire every day, good sir!

Thanks for sharing your vision and knowledge.

Bad summer here in Northern California, a heat wave. In July temperatures from 42 to 45 almost the whole month. Never happened that high. I panicked and brought all my bonsais inside in my big kitchen for 2 weeks. I lost a lot of young j maples , but bonsais only one. Of the rest of my garden I put shade fabric etc lost many because doesn’t matter how much you water the tree dies. Please do all you can to stop earth heating more. Don’t complain about rain we wish we could have some to refresh. Don’t go out with high temps stay inside with AC. Love from California ❤

Nice, thx for sharing Peter

my apologies for bringing this up again, for looking over Perter's shoulder mostly shows the back of his hands, and part of the tree. Please, it would help if whomever videos, takes it from the side of Peter, and the plant he is working on. That way we could see where his fingers, scissors, and wire are, and what is happening. It truly would be helpful if done that way.
Again, sorry to ask, it is just that we learn so much from you,Peter, and appreciate the time you take to show us, and we want to get all that we can from your videos, which is so very much!
Thank-you! You and your talent are very much appreciated

I would like to see bonsai made from deciduous nursery stock please.

This was a great session! I loved seeing the different varieties and hearing that you can make whatever kind of bonsai you want or using nontraditional varieties or containers. My first bonsai was a gingko, and I insisted it be a cascade. My teacher looked at me sideways, but still helped me choose a container in my taste and shape it.

I just enjoy the art and whimsy of bonsai.

Thank you for sharing with us all here.

Much love from the Midwest US 💖

These are among my favorites of your videos.

Thanks Peter!! Great video!!

Great Job Pit i love watchig what you are doing ❤ i learning alot from you !🎉

I enjoyed this.

Lovely. This is awesome lesson for beginers .
I salute you for sharing your verse knowledge to the bonsai enthusiasts.

I feel guilty for saying this because I genuinely love watching these videos…but they are also the PERFECT thing to fall asleep to! 😂 I love the mic audio!! Bob Ross of bonsai 🎉

One of my most favorite subjects! Interesting. In a certain way, it's perhaps more easy for us as hobbyists: we simply have far more time to spend on nursery material like that, than mr Chan has. Thank you for sharing!

What a legend!

After months of counselling I think I have fully recovered from peter and stihl hanheld chainsaws

As alway very Informative video. Want to know if we have to kept the tree at the green House after repotting or leave it in the open. Thank you.

Thank you Peter for an interesting video on small raw material, the conifer plant can be credible bonsai as you have shown, I love them, I have a growing bed with some larger raw material waiting to be turned into a start on their journeys to becoming bonsai.

UNA PREGUNTA ESE REPLANTADO EN LAS NUEVAS MAZETAS SIN SUSTRATO COMO LAS MANTIENE POR UN AÑO? SOLO SE LAS RIEGA O EN EL MISMO VA EL ABONO LIQUIDO..GRACIAS

Thank you Peter. I've tried tons of cuttings , I've never got 1 single strike. I've never peeled a heel though. I'll try again. It's very hot in the summer where I live. It's been 110 or so just about every day.

So funny!

Very informative as ever Pete.

Anytime I double wire it's usually because I have nothing but an smaller diameter wire and just double /loop the wire back on itself before I begin wiring.

Hi, when u stop using the wire for shaping bonsai?? Can u do a video about this?

How long do you leave the wires on the bonsais for? Do they become a permanent part of the tree or can they be removed in a few months or a year? Thank you for your videos they are so interesting to watch.

👍🙂👌

Thank you for this wonderful video, I'd really like to see a video about how to make a graft spot appear nicer, would help.

The little mugo pines are lovely little trees.
With the hinoki, are these trees renowned for not budding on old wood ? Love the hinoki foliage, sea of green !

Me ha encantado el video. Eres un artista 😊

have you any advice on bonsai with apple trees from seed, I have one, that is now in it third summer but I'm not sure if it's as it should be, I have potted it in a bonsai potting mix and it has good drainage, has some leaf but not much vigour, of cause it could just be me having to much expectations .

So you're reporting and wiring these in the middle of summer?

Bonsai for the rest of us - not every tree needs to be 30+ years old. Another tour de force, Peter. Thank you.

I always enjoy the beginner videos for basic learning. Thx.

Am so glad that you are highlighting the health of the hinoki over the size of the pot.

I started growing a sophora japonica about 3 mi this ago. Recently, the leaves have started turning white. By any chance, would you know why this is happening?
