As per photographs and my observations this is not Ficus tsjakela (stipules too small, figs large in first and third photograph with small peduncle), first I thought of Ficus caulocarpa but due undulate or wavy margins this should be Ficus superba (Miq.) Miq. (wavy and undulate margins, lateral veins distant from margin).
