Hey, folks!

I am brand new to bonsai keeping. I got given a bonsai tree for my birthday two days ago by my boyfriend, neither of us has ever kept them. So I just want some guidance in ensuring I've identified it correctly as I think it's super adorable and want to give it the best tree life I can!

It has dark green leaves (with some lighter ones at the top), very smooth edges, in a slim, elongated shape. The bark is a light brown/reddy colour. If you need more pictures I am happy to provide them.

I think it may be boxwood (Buxus sempevirens), any confirmations or advice would be muchly appreciated!

Many thanks!

Hello,

I had looked at that originally which is what made me think it was the boxwood. Although the leaves are also incredibly similar to the dwarf pomegranate in shape but a darker colour. And they are also growing in opposites.

thank you for your reply!
