Thanks Joanie, It went onto the windowsill today. My room has a south facing window so it's bright all day every day (shame about the cloud today though.) The reason I had it shaded a little was due to what I read about keeping it out of direct sunlight for a couple of days after repotting.

The soil is starting to dry up around its visible large roots which I am pressuming is a good sign as it possibly indicates that the tree is now starting to take water.

Richard, I would have thought it was possibly a chinese elm if i had not seen the shrivelled up leaves on the tree when i got it. They were almost smooth edged, unlike the jagged sort of edge my other chinese elm has. I could be wrong and the leaves could have just been shriveled beyond recognition.

I usually only ever see 4 types of "mallsai" around though, Elms, Ficus, Fukien Tea and Serissa. Out of those the only obvious tree that it could be judging by the trunk as you said is the elm.
