I did a lot of searching and I think that your tree is a ficus retusa:

I like it! I hope that it gets all its leaves back in the spring.

I have a plant, and it's not a bonsai. There isn't anything I know about it. It's called Castanospermum Australe. Some people think it's a bonsai but apparently, it can grow to 40 meters high. I need help!

yeah right, you can get the same ones at wallyworld for like 15 bucks or less. of course they take a little work, but its worth it!
100 bucks is too much. what if you wanted ten bonsais? that would be 1000$$$$ AHHHH!
lol
maybe if I were rich. But I wouldnt count on it. If I were rich I would buy a land and build a HUGE bog for carnivorous plants!

lol no you just prune it the way you want it to grow. Plants and animals only get as big as their container.
