    Thanx, I was thinking about that one, it is the japanese elm, right? But the chinese elm has the same type of leaves, so how can I know which one it is... For me they look identical. These are my first bonsai trees... I really appreciate your help.

    #1 Might be Japanese Holly (Ilex crenata 'Convexa')

    Thanx, it was confusing at first, but think got a hang of it now... The second one is definetly a chinese elm, if you click on the posted picture, it gets quite big, I think it is very easy to see the pictures... Have a look if you want.

    The other one isn't the holly plant... At least I dont think it looks like that. Could it be a boxwood or a fukien tea or a cotoneaster?
