名媛直播

Dear all,

Please can I have all your advice on how to rescue my poor Chinese Elm 名媛直播 tree...
I've had him for about 8 months and he seemed to be doing reasonably well, I've been feeding him with specialist bonsai feed every other week and have pruned him and kept him watered.. We moved house 3 months ago and since then he hasn't been quite right.. To my horror in the past month all the leaves have dropped off. There seems to be new buds sprouting but I'm worried he's on his way out(!)..
I've taken him away from the window as I was worried he could be in a draft and kept him where he can still get sunlight.
Should I prune him back again? Does he look sick? Maybe he's depressed?
Any help is much appreciated - I've named him Bernie (as i'm lame like that)

No, there's not much to prune, any way.

Yes, but the buds, indicate healing

Yes, that could be, trees hate to be kept inside. If you keep outside all winter (look up how they do that in London ), come spring it aught to be ready to grow,.

Bernie is my favourite so far

Should I start naming my trees? Is it a normal?

no. Only exceptional trees typically get named.
