First timer was created by Ungaro87

Hello everyone!

I'm Matthew from England and I have just got my first ever bonsai tree as a gift. :cheer:
I'm not sure what type of tree my little fella is. I would love to get into caring for my tree as a real hobby. Maybe one day I could grow my own trees. Could anyone offer any tips for a first timer?

Try to identify it using the species guides (see in the topmenu here, under "Care")

Looking up Chinese bird plum, it could be that. However the label which came with my tree said it was outdoor tree. I've looked up the care for the cinese bird plum and it says not to put them outside in northern europe due to the cold temps. Does anyone else agree with Pinkham and myself that it's a chinese bird plum?

Nice and healthy tree!

Pretty sure its not a bird plum. I have one and the leaves are different. Sageretia theezans have very small and fine serrations on the leaves edge. Those leaves have large serrated edges.

Since everyone is lost and im also, i thought i might as well add my 2 cents, I thought it was an Azalea when I first looked at it, but Azalea usually have shorter inter-nodal distances.
