Re: ID help?
Definitely looks like Cotoneaster to me.
One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

Re: ID help?
Being a Cotoneaster microphyllus would that mean it will get the red fruit? or just the white flower? Does anyone know species relation?

Re: ID help?
Well done Grant. C. microphyllus it is.
The growth habit is stiff and straight but with some wiring and regular pruning you can get a good bonsai from this species.
White flowers are followed by dark red fruit. Mine usually set more fruit than C. horizontalis

Re: ID help?
I must admit i thought this was a poor gift choice . . . but with many a crap thing, beauty can be accomplished with growth, help & direction.
