I was visiting a friend recently and one of his flatmates had lots of books lying around the living room to do with Bonsai. I started browsing a couple, then reading, then got told off by my friend for not being sociable!!!

I was very taken my this hobby, so much so that my wife went out and bought me a tree.

From the research I have done on the Interweb, i believe it to be a Loropatelum, but I could be very much mistaken.

Im looking to get this confirmed, and also any pointers on special care needed etc, if someone could spare a few mins to take a look, thanks.

I live on the North East Coast of the UK, think it is Zone 10.
