Hi

my friend gave me this today. Any idea what it is. Can bonsai ever be revived.

I repotted it and chopped some roots.

it doesn't look hopeful though.

kind regards

No hope whatsoever to identify it and even less chance it is alive. It is just a lump of wood.

Yes, It could be alive.
You should not have pruned the roots if no leaves were showing up, even in Spring.
Now I would wait, watering only when the soil feels dry, outdoors, in dappled sun.
And pray.

no, trees dont like to be moved around. keep out side in a location as mentioned in previous post. also telling us your location or climate helps and can possible result in better info.

This is a ficus, probably dead looking at the bark. Keep it for certainty. Just place it in a well lit, yet not sunny, spot. Nice and warm. Then wait.

It's actually easy to identify - a braided ficus, IKEA type. Houseplant, not a bonsai.
