Hello everyone,

the last year while I was walking in Italy in the area of Lago Maggiore, I stumbled upon a nice little tree that was growing its way through some rocks. I decided to pick it up and try to grow it like a bonsai (it's been my first try). To date it seems to be pretty healthy, the only problem is that I still don't know which tree it is :huh: Does any of you have an idea? A friend of mine suggested that it could be a European Ash, but I prefer to ask the community for more confirmations.

I also attached the pictures of one of the leaves. It's not the first case: sometimes the laeves start going dark, first on the borders and then all the way to the inner part until the detach. Does anyone know what could be the root cause? I fertilize the tree almost every week and water it pretty much every day. It is currently located in a decently bright room (many windows, but facing north), without direct sun.

Thanks and have a good day,
Nicola

Outdoor trees belong outdoors.

It is usually outdoor, but temperatures are going below zero now and I have to keep it inside to avoid freezing.

Anyway, aren't all trees outdoor in general? Why are there indoor bonsais then?

Guessing: Sorbus Aucuparia 'Praemorsa'.

In nature, they don't have heated houses. Still, they survive.

Yep, that's correct. There are no indoor trees, and there are no indoor bonsai. There are subtropicals that survive indoors and that are grown as bonsai.

I would have said an Ash tree, Fraxinus spp.

But hard to tell as the plant is suffering from being indoors in low light.
