Hi Phillicondor,
I am not sure what you have there, however the photo quality does make it difficult. I would suggest taking some more photos with a closer shot of the leaves and flowers if it has any.

Could be a baeckea, babingtonia virgata? Pretty sure they have changed names again now..... Clearer pics of bark, flowers and foliage will help. Preferably close ups.
One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

I believe Boics is 100 % correct despite the photo quality
