Hi all! My boss has a bonsai tree that is severly neglected. I thought it was dead, but it's showing subtle signs of life (it sprouted a few sad leaves recently). It may be beyond repair, but I want to at least try to revive the poor thing. Does anyone know what kind of tree this is? ?

This plant is dead, it may have a few bits of leaf, but it is dead. Firstly it is inside, that was the killer. It looks extremely dry, that made it even worse. At a guess it could have been a Japanese Quince or possibly Hawthorn as it has thorns so it could be either but there is no hope for it I am afraid. If this was mine I would put it outside in the shade and water when I did all my other plants and wait but I would not put money on it living.

It's not a Hawtorn, it has compound leaves, like a robinia ( but this is not robinia )
Maybe some sort of? acacia?

My first hunch was acacia. But really impossible to tell for sure based on the photos.

Hello,
That's a Brazilian Rain Tree, or maybe it was...
I can see the branches still green, it means it is alive for that species, I don't know if it still has the energy to bud back, and you said it already sprouted back once, so that's not good news...
It's a very sturdy species, so it could bud back, maybe if well placed in half shade outside, I've seen they come back from worse than that, but it depends a lot on how the tree was being treated before...

Unfortunatelly, I might be late.
