Clyde, TX(Zone 7b)

I purchased this plant from a local retailer on a whim. I don't know much about Bonsai care but would like to know what this is. I would also like some advice on how to shape it. Any other info is welcome.

This is a test. Please ignore my post.

Bay City, MI(Zone 6a)

It's Ficus retusa (aka F. microcarpa, aka commonly Cuban Laurel)

Cultural preferences are same as Ficus benjamina - appreciates full sun & being outdoors in summer, fast drainage, being allowed to dry down between waterings (especially in winter). A fertilizer that's low on the N will be appreciated and will help control overly long internodes (distance between leaves) and help to keep leaf size in proportion to o/a plant size.
