I see in one place the leaves are opposite. Acer something?
Ficus carica? I feel like that's not right. I would have ID'd that right away.
Hi Chuck,
As you posted in such a timely manner, I think it's a Trident Maple. They have a nice shape and I think you could keep them smallish. Well, duh Emma, they are used for bonsai.

If I ignore the first 'e', it's burger-i-a-num. Easy enough, I guess. Now I wonder who was Buerger.
It is very lush looking! Don't you love 'spring green'!
Byure-jure-ee-AH-numb?
Duh, just pronounce "ue" like "ü"!
Sorry. like this.
Well, unlike some people, I speak American. Burger Maple it is.
