No leaves yet mate ,wish I could say the same about my Japanese maples there popping out all over the place . English elms are starting to swell as well.
I have 1 English elm I dug last week on june and it has new shoots 10 cm long already !
I guess the old saying goes ...leave them alone they know what they are doing .
Cheers

Looks like a little beauty.

Looking forward to seeing the leaves!

Last I saw of my Oaks (3 weeks ago) the leaves were still green and not looking like they were going to drop at all this autumn / winter.
One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

I love this tree...branches and trunk are super.
I ask lots of questions that sound like suggestions. Please remember I am a inquisitive newbie trying to figure out why You made a particular decision, in order to learn.

Although, I have no experience with Oak, this little tree is great, it has the right bones to develop an awesome shohin.

Find someone with a good Oak bonsai, and follow what they do religiously!

Saying that, I'd let the top terminal bud grow this season to try and close that scar.
