    Looks a bit like a spotted laurel (aucuba) I have in the garden!

      I first thought Laurel, but it looks too fleshy.

      If it oozes White stuff from wounds, its a ficus.

        I hope you are patient Capsid. I grew a bonsai horse chestnut years ago and it took 15 years for the leaves to dwarf and when I finally gave it away after 25 years it still hadn't put out proper side shoots!!!!!!

          Yes, growing bonsais is a long waiting game.

            Don't think of it as a long, waiting game, rather as a journey that you take with the tree. Each year the tree changes a little more and your alongside it watching it develop and grow into some amazing and beautiful shapes and forms.
            Young trees are beautiful too !!

            ( Yes, I have a few homegrown bonsai and each one has it's own personality in that each species of tree has it's own way of growing and your idea of what it will be in the end isn't always how it decides it will be )
