I’ve recently acquired a bonsai tree, which I think is in pretty good health, and am keen to look after it properly but I have no idea what kind it is. From picture comparisons I’m guessing it’s some sort of Chinese elm? I’d love to know specifically though so that I can feed/water/prune it properly. Any suggestions and/or caring tips would be great, thanks!

Well, it's not an Elm.
Please clean up the dead leaves and branchlets of the little tree.
Get a leaf, observe it very close, see how it attaches to the branch and use the menu above to identify your tree.
It's not difficult, try it!

First picture was quite an old one, it is all tidied up now thank-you. I have tried to use the ID section above but struggle to differentiate between a couple of different trees. Thanks for the reply anyway

Closest I can get to on the website is a ‘Guayacan’, any thoughts?

As you purchased it recently, why not ask the seller? They should know.

Notice that if it is an Guayacan, it should be "al aire libre" (though I doubt you're from the region where this species is normally sold).

Hm.. intertesting. I do not find that tree in the identification guide.

The pictures are not enough to be 100% certain for me. I would think in the direction of privet (ligustrum spp). But a variegated one.

Guayacan? It's there under Deciduous species - Opposite leaf pattern trees: www.bonsaiempire.com/tree-species/bonsai-identification

(quite unlikely that that's what it is though)

I think you might be right! A ligustrum seems the best fit on the pictures, with that in mind, is there anything special I should know about that type of tree?

Yes. You can find that under 'tree species'.
