I truly appreciate how you talk about your work and share your thoughts teaching the viewers the wisdom of your craft. I am impressed to see how much you know about each individual tree. May you be blessed with a joyful and long life.

Peter, I had to pause the video on the "split trunk maple", that photo is worth framing, it seems as iconic to me as Hokusai's "great wave". Also, that's what you should make a Tee Shirt print of.

It’s obvious that Peter knows what he’s doing, but his confidence allows him to be so “rough” that I find myself wincing throughout these videos while listening to him rake through the roots and chop off bits and pieces.

You know you're knee deep in bonsai when you say "only 2 years ago" like it isn't a long time to wait.

This is one of the best videos Peter chan has done. <br><br>His opinion on all these different trees is Inspiring.

I can't get enough of these videos. They are immensely useful and helpful in illustrating the many different approaches to take for each unique specimen. Thank you for sharing your knowledge so generously.

I love these videos, I have only one request, <br>Would it be possible to cover the “soil” you use for different trees?<br>As example, what is in the containers you are opening in this video?<br>Thank you Herons!

The split trunk maple is pictured on the hard cover of the first bonsai book I was gifted when I was about 11 years old. I just found your youtube channel a few days ago and I'm so glad to be able to see your creations again. I will be 43 years old soon and you Sir are a childhood memory come to life! God bless you.

I love the confidence he has from experience. I cringe at how rough he is with the trees--even while knowing that he's done this for longer than I've been alive and knows that the trees will be fine.
