No new leaves!

Hi I have a Chinese elm bonsai which a month ago I allowed to dry out whilst out of town. All the leaves dried out and dropped. I still have no new leaves on my bonsai yet. What could be the problem? Thanks ryan

That it's dead? Sorry, but my experience with Chinese elms is that they do NOT take kindly to neglect in any way, shape, or form. While you may try to give what's left proper care for the next couple of months & see what happens, you are most likely out of luck.

Have you done thumbnail scratches on the branches & trunk to see if there's any green underneath?
