Hi. I need some urgent help of my bonsai can still be saved. It is small chinese elm species and I'm worried that it may have died.
Last month the tree lost all its leaves but I kept it watered and hoped that it would recover. I have read online that to check if tree is still alive, I have to look for green layer under bark if I scratch the tree. I have done the test in several places on the branches and trunk but I can't see the green layer. There is only one small area at the bottom of the trunk where there is a little green ( please see picture). Is there a chance it is still alive and may be saved? If so, how to save it? Please help.
