(already looks half dead)

there are several hundreds of types of cherry.. so you should have asked where you bought it..

look for a bonsai club in your region and ask what trees are best there..

remember, trees are living organisms that need to be outdoors.. best choice of tree would be a species that is native/common in your region..


tell me what isn't helpfull:

"move the tree outside or it will die"
seems like a very fine answer for you tree's wellbeing

"there are several hundreds of types of cherry.. so you should have asked where you bought it"
can we be blamed for you buying something without even asking what it is you bought?
only 1 place knows whet you bought.. the shop that sold it to you

"look for a bonsai club in your region and ask what trees are best there.."
another point which you should do when starting with bonsai if you take it seriously.. ask some other members who are new to the hobby and joined a club to take those first steps in the correct way

"best choice of tree would be a species that is native/common in your region.."
yet another very helpfull answer if you ask me.. for starter with bonsai, you should try a species which is native for your region so care is easier and the tree is more likely to stay alive..

imo, there's only 1 troll here.. the guy who posted a cherry tree which is clearly on it's way to the graveyard and can't take any advise because it's not what he wanted to hear..

good luck with that.. but if you don't change your attitude, you won't be growing a lot of bonsai..

@weath, why so aggressive? You could have known the type of responses given to such generic questions, if you would have taken a bit of time to look through the forum. This forum is flooded with "I bought this tree but do not know what it is. How do I stop it from dying" questions. Several times a day the same questions pop by. And the same answer is given. If you would have taken 10 minutes looking through the posts, you would have noticed. And perhaps phrased your question a little different.

- I bought this cherry, but the seller did not know what species. As it is dying, I am wondering what speciees it is. Does anybody know?

-> Dificult to answer, as there are litterally hundreds of species. FLowers would be needed for identification. But your plant should be outside. Why is it inside?

In any case. In general all here are willing to help, and do so. Basic conditino is that people show they make an effort themselves too. Namecalling in your second or third post on the forum does not help.

I see and I do apologize. Let me try again:

That's an amazing cherry tree you got there. Beautiful pot too. Good idea to have pebbles on the top of your soil, and that water meter certainly will help, especialy as, because of the pebbles, you cannot control the status of your soil.

Don't worry about the plant, it is early spring, it will soon start forming new leaves, and loads of cherry blossoms.
Don't worry about moving it from FL to MI either. It is indoors, so the local climate is irrelevant.

Best place for such trees is indoors, preferably above a radiator so it stays nice and warm.
Seems it doesn't get much light there. That's good. It's a bonsai, that's how we keep 'm small. We wouldn't want it too grow too fast, right?

From the detailed photos of the leaves, trunk and flowers you added, it is clear that this is a Prunus Praecox Avium Piena, sub species serrulenaflora.

Keep up the good work, you obviously have studied this tree ever since you got it and are giving this tree the best care you can. No doubt, soon it will be top class and ready for a prestigious exhibition!

I'm a tiny bit confused though. You wrote: "As I was the one asking the question I am the one to decide if it was helpful and answered the question"

The above could only be true if you knew the correct answer. So, why did you ask?
