Would anyone be able to help me identify what type of tree this little one is please? I’ve had him about a year, just repotted him (boy it was scary and I’m still not 100% he’s happy I did it!).

It is a Chinese privet. Some maintenance is definitely required, mostly because some of the branches are really long. It appears that the overall health is declining :(((((. Definitely give it some shade until it begins to recover, because stress from reporting and lots of sunlight can cause leaf burn and browning of the leaves. Hope my advice helps! 🙏

Thank you! He basically had no soil in the previous pot (all roots). He’s much much muchhhh happier with soil and looks very healthy now ☺️
