Hello all I am new to the community and new to the bonsai world!! I got this tree as a gift and could not find what species it is. I want to do a little research on it. could any of the fine people in the community help me identify which type this is. since this picture the leaves have turned more yellow and are falling. any help is super appreciated, thanks for you help. merry christmas and take care.

Well, I am glad you did not call it bonsai. It is a Chinese Elm, keep it in the garden and prune the long shoots.

awesome thank you for the help Geoff!! time to do some poking around online, the place it was purchased has classes available so that is a good thing, thx again. happy holidays.

Hi,.
This is a nice pre-bonsai./ A zelkova Serrata by the looks of it. I hope yu are keeping it outside? As it is winter, the leaves are suppose to change color (Actually, I am surprized there are leaves on it at all). Or are you in the Southern hemisphere perhaps?

Hi Leatherback, thank you for the input. upon reading the descriptions, it is closer to the zelkova serrata as you mentioned. I am locate din the long beach area in ca. i did put it outside per your recommendation. one question if you dont mind, you mentioned keeping it outside because it is winter. would it be ok to keep it inside during summer months, in a good sunned window?? i am planning on taking classes at the nursery that it came from so these are all questions i will be asking and hope to learn more, thanks again for your feedback, cheers and happy holidays!!

Nope. Trees belong outside. They are plants, and need the outside.
