Some more info would be helpful, such as where you are located, what type of tree, etc. But from the looks of it, the best thing for it now would be to put it outside and let it grow to make the next section of trunk.

There is nothing you can do now but leave it alone until next year. Is it a willow?

 

[Elke34]

where in CO? I am in Denver. welcome to the forum. As other people indicated, put your bonsai outside and keep it out. Make sure to water when the top soil is dry, better to do it around noon in our weather, if not, morning is fine. And go to the next meeting of the Rocky Mountain Bonsai Association in the Botanic Gardens (Denver). They will discuss how to overwinter bonsai in CO.

protect it from deer, but it will die for sure if you keep it inside

A good way to protect from deer, squirrels, chipmunks, and other vermin - a garage sale bird cage. Might look a bit strange, but I suspect it you might like the look.

Just a question, if it's a dwarf weeping willow, wouldn't it be better to keep the soil constantly moist, kindy like swamp cypress, or would "normal" watering methods apply? They grow at the rivulet near my house like crazy and its constantly marshy and swampy there.
