Hi I’ve just bought my first tree and was wondering if anyone could have a guess at how old it is? Also any advice would be great! Many thanks

Far more important than age is the species. The age of a plant is not important how old it seems is far more. I would say this plant is probably no more than 5 to 7 years old. and it looks that old too. I would think it is a tropical or sub tropical and therefore need winter protection in a greenhouse. You need to find the species and how to grow it, there are species guides on this web site take a look.

I agree that age is not that important.

A good guesstimate on massproduced mallsai is the price in Euro divided by 10 gives you the aproximate age. It is not possible to grow bonsai cheaper than that.

Ok, not an easy species. Needs light be careful with watering, do not water to a schedule, water when soil is almost dry. No fertiliser, and do not re pot.

.....And do not get dissapointed if it dies. Not the best beginner option. Just start over with locally hardy trees outdoors, like people have grown bonsai for thousends of years.
