Always we hope someone else has the answer.
Bonsai is an art of shrinking.

I would suggest spending an hour or two reading up on glyphosate (the active ingredient in roundup) before using it.

after a second look could you post a photo from a different angle--can't really see what's happening at half way
Will grab some more photos when I get a chance. I pruned and repotted this guy last week and its still pushing new growth so fingers crossed it pulls through.

Some flower buds appearing along with the new leaf buds - should it I let it flower or pinch them off to conserve energy to help it recover?
