It is my pleasure to share few images of Ficus benjamina (Moraceae) the Weeping Fig. 

Habit: Evergreen tree 

Habitat: Cultivated. 

Sighting: Chikmagalur, Tumkur and Bangalore, about 900 msl 

Date: 23-06-2014, 10-02-2015 and 16-03-2015

Thanks for the detailed description and id.

Yes looks like Ficus benjamina.

this is Ficus benjamina variety.

Looks like “regular”  F. benjamina to me, though fruit (larger, lighter in color) resembles that of  F. benjamina ‘Exotica’. The foliage and habit of the tree pictured do not match the (garden-derived) F. benjamina ‘Exotica’.
Perhaps it is F. benjamina var. nuda?

Ficus benjamina in Pune has figs 2-3 cm. Are these bigger
than 3 cm? It looks benjamina all right. May be its a mature old tree to bear this size figs. Nuda has red and 1 cm sized figs.

This does look like usual Ficus benjamina to me, but there are more than one cultivars of this, nuda and compacta.

… many many thanks for the ID … am convinced with Ficus benjamina.
The figs, yellowish like ripe lemon colour, are about 20 – 25 mm slightly ellipsoid abruptly tapering to a point … hope that can give us some idea about the variety.
Referring Pradip Krishen ji’s Trees of Delhi … F. benjamina var. comosa seems a possible candidate.
Since this species of Ficus is one of the most popular in gardens, there are lot of cultivars (… to me, lot of confusion) !!
Will wait for comments.

I am quite sure of this plant being Ficus benjamina

Ficus benjamina L.

Flora Picture of the Year 2010- Aarti Khale:
My picture of the year is of a tree rather than a flower…..Ficus Benjamina. This huge tree is the largest seen by me at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Peradeniya, Sri Lanka during a visit there in November, 2010. The entire tree covers an area of half an acre in the gardens and is still growing.
It was amazing to see such a huge tree. There are many more rare trees & flora in this garden.

This is pretty, and I got confused from the branching patterns….. I think they have some how deliberately entangled the branches during early stages. But very nice and rare pic of this hude plant, which is usually seen
in gardens only.

Ficus for ID : 020511 : AK-2: 2 images.
Taken on the 9th of April, 2011 at Jijamata Udyan, Mumbai, Maharashtra. A huge tree.

Ficus benjamina. Thanks for sharing. The fruit size is bigger than what I have seen. There are few cultivars of benjamina which has smaller leaves.

It is great reporting of symbiosis. I always read your postings with interest and stand to gain knowledge on  the relationship between the plants and mythology besides the great symbiosis of birds and plants.

Thank you … I now take it as Ficus benjamina var. nudo based on the information above…

Tree ID from Bangladesh SM123 : 2 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (1).

Habit: Small Tree
Habitat: Park
Location: Dhaka City

To me it looks like Ficus benjamina ‘Variegata’.

It may be Ficus benjamina.

It is difficult to visualise the size of the leaves from the photographs. Nevertheless, the leaves have resemblance to F.elastica 

I am sorry.  I have no further photo from this tree nor it is possible now to go back there.

Thanks for the message. For me it looks like Ficus elastica.

with these small yellow fruits?

… remarks are valid. On looking at the fruits I too feel the plant could be F.benjamina only.

Ficus benjamina (syn. F.nuda).

Ficus benjamina looks good

Yes, it is Ficus benjamina L. !!

Very good pictures. Ficus benjamina.

Ficus benjamina var. nuda.
Figs orange (yellow in type), leaves more acuminate and less shiny than the type.

This is a introduced species at this place.The size of the tree is 10 to 12 ft high. Leaves look like Ficus benjamina.
Fruits are pea size. Attaching a collage. In case you desire more image please let me know.

Thanks, … It is difficult to make out any details from these.
If you can send original size images, than possibly we can make out something.

A request whether this is planted or in wild, need for identification.

Both Ficus 1 and 2 I sent to you are wild and they are found only in deep forests.

Closest I can go is Ficus benjamina, but this is supposed to be cultivated only.

You are right this should be Ficus benjamina L.

I agree with …, it’s Ficus benjamina only,
