Re: Monterey Ficus

It's a Ficus macrophylla, the Moreton Bay fig.

I'd posted a question a while back about a mystery tree which I wasn't quite sure if it was a ficus or not because I hadn't gotten close enough to investigate. Well, I took a good look and here are some photos.

It's not an easy tree to investigate well because the garden it sits in is behind locked gates but it's very close to the gate I was able to get these photos.


Thank you,
