willow bonsai training..i am learning here now ..Mr Peter

As a willow lover, I've been waiting for this video! Thank you!

[kevinanderson]

I love willow as bonsai, so many different ways to experiment growing these trees. I agree, occasional die back at times seemingly for no reason. We have an extensive variety selection for cuttings here.

Omg!! I love how you made it look like the Willow!! I’m working on 3 new ones I’m new at it and will follow you🙏🏼

[tinjoesstation]

Thank you for sharing this. I now have a bit of vision for my willows

[angie]

Holy moly the roots from that willow is unbelievable. Even though the tree was dying it still looks amazing….great video Peter 👍🏻

[sunfresh]

He did so well with it! I love this one! Currently, I'm growing Willow clippings.

well well well... Peter..at the back end of july this year i planted a part of a branch from a willow (not very old)...and put it in a foot long pot that was not used, in hope of developing it into a forest, so 3 month later and it has shot up & is about 3 ft high...i knew they are a vigorous tree but i didn't expect it to be as big as it is...love it, all the best to you and yours, take care, Gordon Wigham.

I really love this video. I have been curious about Willows for a long time and I would like to grow one suitable to my climate

[Momcat]

I adore willows and am very happy to see new life shaping up in both trees!

I'm trying to train a willow group, just experimenting with what I have. It was only later I found out about the weeping issues in bonsai, and I know you can also use guide wires for a more natural shape, but I saw this tree in the first book (and it inspired me to have my own willow), and I'm really looking forward to seeing how it develops :)

I love willows, they are beautiful when the wind blows its leaves.

[balchisdelaquis]

I now feel like I can get mine done with this thank you for explains when to plant them too

[svenlauke]

I have a few willows simply because they are easy to propagate and I sometimes take cuttings from interesting places I have been. this really helps with what to do with them

[amadoodles]

These videos are meant to be in the background on my 2nd screen while I work. But I keep on watching them more than working!
Thank you for such informative, yet soothing content! I've learned a lot. And while learning about a lot of the nuances of bonsai, I've also learned to be less scared of messing up. That parts of trees die. That experimentation is fine. It's both added interest and complexity to bonsai, while making it much less mysterious and intimidating.

I love willows. A park near me has willows along the river. They have been there since I was small. I am now 57. In the last 5 years many have broke in the wind because branches too heavy. The local council don't trim them

I have some willow cuttings they root so easy. I also use the fresh leaves and steep in water and use it on my cacti very good natural hormone that promotes pupping in cacti

Dear sir. I have that book in English. It was the first book I had ever read about bonsai. The most amazing thing is that it was given to me by my mom and dad. They wrote me an inspirational note on it and sign it individually. It's one of my greatest treasures. My father passed away a couple of years ago and I recognized the picture of the willow tree. You inspired me to try bonsai and still, I have some but I'm just ammature. I realized that you are coming to Canada and I would love to meet you. You inspired me like my father. Can you please post where and when you will be in Canada? I want to meet the man that also made me love the art of bonsai.
