Notes:
It’s over 30 years old but was left in a small pot. It might grow to Palo Verde size if in the ground. Think reddish bark, smooth; white, hard wood. Reminds me of Manzanita. Bought it at a “rare cactus” specialty store a long time ago. No common name on it and the label with the scientific name is long gone.

Maybe a species in the torchwood-Burseraceae family. I’m guessing this looks like B. hindsiana, common names include copal, red torchwood, etc… According to sources, it is also grown as bonsa. Check it out and see if you have a match. Click on images twice to enlarge from the included link below. Best wishes! https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/5800979
