Good grief if you want identifications you need to provide more detailed photographs.

Never worked with it. I usually lean on saying if you want to take on a tree for bonsai, know what you’re getting into and then go for it if it calls you… it’s always fun and challenging. If it’s between this tree and something else, look carefully on some research online as briefly I noticed some other peeps didn’t like the tree, were concerned about it being hardwood and not likely potted growth, and it’s invasive. But, if I saw something interesting about a trunk to work from, I’d might try it myself lol.
