Acacia Tree bonsai

I acquired a nursery store Acacia for cheap about 3 years ago and has never been healthy . The leaves had lost its colour a little and had white spots and most of the fowlauge was gone but I love the trunk , sprayed it with rose antifungal spray and kept my fingers crossed .

Last autumn I took drastic measures and removed all the the lower leaves and branches just leaving the tips which in itself was not doing great.

Just before spring started now , I gave a very light fertilizer mix and today I noticed new buds and where i injured it on the trunk is looking good.

Now I’m just waiting for more growth to see what is alive and then ill do the roots once everything looks healthy.
