Hello all! I received my first bonsai as a Christmas gift, but between the giver purchasing it and me receiving it (2-3 weeks) I'm not sure it was properly cared for and I'm not sure if its still alive or if it can be revived. Making things harder is that the "card" that came with the tree doesn't identify it. The leaves are extremely dry and fall off at the slightest touch and I am worried that this great gift is beyond saving. So I'm looking for a few things from this community:
1) Based on the pictures of the tree and the info card, can you identify this tree?
2) Based on the pictures, can the tree be saved? If you can't tell, what could I do to know?
3) If there is any chance for the tree's survival, how can I maximize its recovery?
For a little background, I consider myself to be pretty good with veggies and flowers, but this is my first tree so I'm feeling pretty lost. I'd hate to lose my first bonsai, especially when I got it as a gift!
Thanks, and I look forward to learning so much from this community!
