Hi,
I'm totally new to bonsai - but it's great starting out & learning so much in just a few days. Hopefully, I can keep my tree alive & have years of pleasure from this.
My only problem is that I don't know what tree I have!!
Can anyone help me identify this tree?
Thank you so much,
Riquez

Thanks - Certainly the leaves look similar, but after looking online ... I'm not sure.
The leaves on my tree have no smell, as suggested that the Bahama berry should and the configuration of the leaves seems quite different in the pictures I looked up.
If you have any further ideas please let me know.
Thanks for your advice

You are right, there is a very pronounced odor to that tree. Here's my second guess, not an regularly found tree in my neck of the woods, but certainly known in bonsai circles...

Texas ebony is a fairly common bonsai down south, so I'm guessing that's where you are from?

my first guess was texas ebony as well (I actually live in Texas ) until the close up pic of the leaves. Ebony leaves are not as leathery and are much more delicate than the leaves in the pic look. Ebony leaves are more similar to a Mimosa. I have no idea what your tree is unfortunatly but I do like it. Good luck.
