I am new to caring for bonsai but I am really keen to learn. I would like to know if the tree I have been caring for for the past 6 months is past the point of no return. Any help would be great. Picture attached. Thanks

This was a Juniper and it is dead. Keeping it inside killed it.

Sry Geoff but that was not a juniper. Dead it is, and inside did kill it indeed

Fooled me, too. I can't tell what it is, but I sure thought juniper.

Me to :). But it is a broad leaf tree. I cannot tell species. But would recomend to bring it outdoors and see what happens. Some broadleafs can sprout back from virtually dead. Some can grow new suckers from the roots when the main tree is dead.

Not that I think the chanse for recovery is high, but there are a very small chanse.

THis was a boxwood, buxus. Often sold as indoors bonsai, a misnomer responsible for millions of desillusioned budding bonsai beginners and dead plants.

This is what I was told when purchasing. Had I been informed it was for outdoors that is how I would of treated it. Shame really as it did so well for the first few months. Thank you for your response though.

If there is no more frost, put this outside in a semi-shaded position and water when it goes dry. Then wait. Trees sometimes look dead yet sprout here or there. I do not have high hopes, but you can always throw it away in 3 months.
