As we know a lot of Ficus species are not, although plenty full now and growing wild in Australia, but are not indigenous to Australia.

Hey Pup,

I cannot be 100% on species but it is most likely either eugeniodes/obliqua or rubiginosa. The cutting is from this larger collected tree viewtopic.php?f=114&t=4365
