Thanks to all who replied to my ID request. Yesterday i had a look at
the tree again and found two or three small aerial roots just
beginning to grow. So I guess the majority opinion of Ficus
Bengalhensis is right. The tree does'nt look very much like the Ficus
B. that you usually see around.

Regards,
Devi
