Bodhi fig??

Hey all,
anyone know what this plant is

? I bought it a year ago from a Mc-hardware store nearby

and potted it up (my second bonsai...) and it did well (first photo)

, but over winter it lost all its leaves and shriveled up into nothing

. Thinking it dead, but not wanting to just throw it out, I stuck it in a nursery pot and forgot about it until seeing it today hidden behind a jacaranda... and it's ALIVE

!!! The label Mc-hardware called it a 'bodhi fig'...

Sounds like it's the right one from what I quickly read.

It is Ficus religiosa. I have a few here , slow as a Bonsai.

Hackimoto... do yours die back? I'm not sure why mine did, but it seems happy in its dark corner now so I'll leave it there.

Yes deciduous. It has just re shot, I keep it in full sun and I have one about 10 mtrs high in the ground, it does the same thing.
