Bonsaiidentification - Zelkova or Ulmus parvifolia? was created by Mads

Posted 5 years 1 month ago #69847
Hi i recently got into the hobby and bought this tree that was labeled Zelkova Parvifolia, which seems to not be a species?Therefore I hoped that you guys could help me identify this? I have tried to look up the difference but it seems really hard to tell. Sorry for the image quality, hope its okay :)

While asking this could some of you recommend me what tools to get as a complete beginner? and how much should I start pruning and cleaning the tree if any at all?

Thanks in advance!

The two species have similar needs, the main one is that they are hardy an need to be outside in the sun all year.
