I got his tree like 3 years ago in garden sale. It was almost dead. After 3 years it's nursed back to full strength I hope. I have no idea what species tree is. Have no clue what to do now. Past two seasons I've bin trimming long branches that's basically all. Would apriciate any advice how to proceed. I have 3 more trees but they need to be nursed back to health before I can do anything further. Bought those 3 trees from shop, and they were almost dead too. So I'm kinda rescuing bonsai trees.

one tree looks like a trident maple, and one a possibly chinese elm. difficult to tell. i suggest you find your local club and get help from them.?

This is a chinese elm. Looks ready for design. But first I would repot it into bonsai soil. So spring 2027 repotting, spring 2028 design.
