    Much appreciation for this lovely update John! Your trees have flourished and its so fun to see their growth this past year. I love how Tony bent his trees. Every time I feel wishy-washy about pruning, I watch a video of his and all fear is gone (mostly). Wish I lived closer to see his trees in person, but it's a bit of a drive from Canada 😄. Love and best wishes to all Tony's family!

    Thanks for sharing. I watched Tony's videos from the start. I don't think I missed one. It was the start of my day. Get up make a cup of tea and turn on the latest installment. Really miss it. I don't think he ever once failed to respond to a message. Great bloke you must be very proud of him.
    It's a terrible thing losing a child. I suffered the same fate at the end of last year when my daughter passed away. A lot younger than Tony but the feelings the same.
    Tony did leave a great legacy with his trees. You must be very proud of him.

I never got to meet him . I was hoping to come to his last open day, but I was flying out of the country that day so couldn’t make it. He is greatly missed, especially by you and your family.

    But thanks again for showing his trees. I would love to have a legacy tree from my friend. But because of rules . Like my and Tony talked about it, not allowed to send trees over seas, I believe . Because of brexit, he said.
    Take care.

    Tony always felt like a long lost uncle to me, he was an incredible inspiration for me. Although i never met him i felt like we were friends in a way. I subscribed to his channel around 1k and loved every moment of his videos. Since his passing i have lost my dog, my mom and my grandmother in a short amount of time. I really believe tony is shining down on us and all of our trees and they will live on in his memory. He will always be missed dearly but will never fail to bring a smile to my face.

      I've been thinking today, and if you'd be happy to, I'd be honoured to rehome a couple of Tony's trees and continue his work (hopefully for future generations to enjoy). I lost my Dear Dad, Paul to this awful disease in November 2022 and for the 12 months before, up until the present day, bonsai became the crutch that I didn't know I needed to distract me from life's cruelties. I still have a Hawthorn seedling which I found when I went on a dog walk with my Dad earlier in 2022 which I treasure, and hope that I can one day make into a mature-looking credible bonsai in my Dad's memory. If you'd be happy for me to take custody of one or two of Tony's trees, I'd gladly make the journey up from Wilmslow (approx 50 mins) one evening after work and make a donation to Cancer Research in Tony's name. Let me know your thoughts, and if you're happy to, we could perhaps arrange something. Many thanks, Les

    After watching John's message I rewatched all Tony's videos. In my opinion his enthusiastic and happy personality did wonders for the bonsai community and I'm sure some of his trees would have evolved into true masterpieces with their own unique style, if only he'd had more time.
    It was nice to see some of Tony's trees again in this video, almost like having him back with us for a moment.
    I would have loved to buy some of the trees and take care of them in the years to come but unfortunately, bringing living trees back with me into EU (Denmark) can be a problem after brexit.
    Tony's spirit, his fearlessness and his love for weird stuff is with me when I care for my trees. He made an impact.
    Boom.
