not ficus benjamina look at the leaf veins these are three arising at the very start f. ben does it differently.... one main and then very thin ones run thre entire length of the leaf at aboyt 70 to 85 degrees to the main vein right upto the very edge where there is sort of networking of the veins.
Also fruits are on longish stalks that if i remember correctly is also not ben. what it is I dont know... too many ficuses and too many cultivars. esp from hawaii and malaya etc... may be some of our ficus guys know... also ben's fruits start off green, turn yellow/orange and drop... only rarely do they turn black.. why and when ...
