please can anyone tell me the type of tree this is, it was bought as a present with no info on it and also tell me what the white powder at the base is. thank you

Looks like a Chinese Elm, the white staining is probably just deposits from watering and should brush off, try an old toothbrush, a weak vinegar solution might be needed and if so try not to get much on the soil.
It's not an indoor tree, depending where you are it would be best outdoors asap, but if you're in mid winter keep in a cool room as near the window as possible until Spring as lots of natural light is essential.

the only tag on the tree said indoor. I live in England and temp is around 3degc
is this suitable.

The Chinese Elm is best kept outside. It will not do well inside, It is too warm in most houses during the winter. You need to water when the soil is almost dry, it needs to be checked every day.
The white powder is deposits from the water, possibly too much water.
It will brush off once dry,
Where in England are you?

Fine, take a look at for species guides, it is very good and English.
It must be a lot colder where you are, it's been up to 11C today, and wet. My Chinese Elm is outside and still has all leaves. It will probably drop them late spring when the new buds are coming.
I did have one inside once, but it did not last long,
Geoff.

I would like the tree to end up like this.
is this realistic
and any tips I would be grateful
cheers

Many trees are sold as indoor when they are not - whilst this species needs outdoor conditions it has not in all likelihood been outdoors recently before being sold and (IMO) if you put it out now in cold wet winter conditions it won't do well - best to try to keep it alive for a few months indoors then find a spot for it outside. If you want a lot more growth to enable the style you want then it needs to go into the ground, or a much bigger pot, for a year or so which will let it develop relatively quickly

Hello,
5 years ago I bought a Bansai pine that was preserved for ANY of the scientific method. As I learned later, when the plant curing method of the invention patent. This pine can be placed both indoors and outdoors. In pine-service, with a special liquid, it should be sprayed 1 every 3 months. The company that sold me the pine, spruce showed the New Year, which at that time was 25 years old at conservation. Spruce looked like just cut off in the woods and bring back home. All needles kept very strictly. They allowed me to check the firmness of needles. The needles could not pull out of the branch. I will put some pictures with Bansai compositions, so that you can compare with live kompozīcijām.Ja have an interest in a new type of Bansai compositions, then I will be happy to work with you and provide additional information.
Sincerely Yanis.

i might be wrong, but it looks like a zelkova because zelkovas have greenish twigs at the end, but as you know, zelkovas a chinese elms are very similar, so i could be wrong
