    I was surprised that you didn't cut back the sides of the root ball or used a wider pot. I always want fresh soil all around the root ball when repotting.

    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.

    It's amazing how Tony's technique improved over the relatively short period he did bonsai. He developed a completely unique and quite extraordinary style that really set him apart from the rest of us and left us - or me at least - with a lot of fantastic inspiration. If only he had had longer time, some of his trees could have turned into masterpieces.
