I think you have a Maple ( Acer ) going by what I see of the way the twigs and branches are growing.
It has started warming up now which is a good thing. I have the tree outside in a south facing garden so it's getting the maximum amount of sun possible.

As for it being a Maple, now that you mention it, I see your point. Your going be the sort of Y shapping on the branches aren't you?

Which is why it is outside. The only reason I was a bit weary of getting it out sooner was the cold nights we were having

I know, that was a very bad move. Should really have asked first but I thought that once a branch was dead, it was dead.

Thanks for the comments by the way. It's good to have a place to go where you can get friendly advice and assistance on these things when you need it.
