Cherry tree potential?

This is a little bit of an accidental bonsai. This was growing in a part of my garden for five years, and I kept cutting it back because it didn't look good in my flowers, until it hit me that it was a cherry tree. It grew parallel to the ground. I tried to remove it but ended up breaking a lot of roots, unfortunately. I put it in the pot in a random position (didn't have a bigger one, it has short branches with leaves outside of the frame of this pic). Some leaves have started to perk again after two weeks. Based on this picture, do you think it could become a bonsai if it survives?

I will keep it as a little tree if not a bonsai.
