Thick leaves

[NickfromWI]

Here's the whole tree...only about 20' tall, but maybe not fully grown?

 

[NickfromWI]

those leaves...

 

[NickfromWI]

the trunk...

 

[NickfromWI]

a close up of what I think is fruit...

 

[NickfromWI]

Finally this is the look up at the canopy from directly below

 

[Leon]

It's a Ficus sp.

 

[NickfromWI]

sp?

 

[Leon]

Maybe Ficus macrophylla, Moreton Bay Fig.

 

[Leon]

"sp." = species. That is botanical speak for when you know the genus but aren't sure about the species. If you're referring to several species within a genus you would put "spp." after the genus name.

I don't know

 

[Bodean]

Maybe Eunymous Japonica.

I'm guessing, only from the leaves' shape.

 

[treebing]

there are so many ficus sp. it can drive one crazy

 

[treebing]

it almost looks like a magnolia but for the fruit.

 

[SirTreeRat]

I was going say "Magnolia", Honest, I didn't think it was right.

Same here but the fruit sure looks like figs.

 

[SirTreeRat]

Ok, I think it might be: Laurus nobilis--Bay Laurel

Class: Magnoliopsida --- so it's a relative of the Magnolia.

 

[NickfromWI]

I'll be honest, I came home wondering, "What kind of magnolia IS that????"

But now you guys got me well confused!

love

[Leon]

I'm positive it's a Ficus, and I'm pretty sure that it is Ficus macrophylla.

 

[SirTreeRat]

Leon,

Good job, that looks like it to me.

I think I have one as a houseplant. Where is this Ficus macrophylla growing?
