It looks like a Ficus, did it bleed after you cut the top? Get rid of the stones they are of no benefit and look awful. This plant will not make a bonsai, but you have to start somewhere.

Let it grow for a couple of years.

In the ground? Or large pot? I currently live in Guam so it's a tropical setting

I think you should put it in the ground as it is it's natural habitat. This is just my opinion, but I think it looked better before the trimming, but again, time in the ground will help the branches.

God luck!!!

Yes it was a lot better before pruning. Time in the ground will make a big difference to the thin trunk and hopefully braches will grow.
