ficus and juniper

Post by twoshay »

Hey guys, being a bit of a newb, I didn't think to get an ID on these when I purchased. Seems I have a little bit of reading to do, so I was just wanting to know if anyone knows? I think the ficus is a benjamina?
Thanks alot!

The juniper looks like a Squamata.

The fig looks like you need someone else to I.D.

Thanks mate! The juniper looks very different from the 2 I already have, possibly due to age? The needles are alot smaller, and seem a little more... thick, I guess. The trunk has some great movement to it!

I'm with Daluke on the juniper ID.

As far as the Ficus goes I don't really grow them, but I can tell you its not a Benji.

Cheers,
Pearcy.

I just googled a few images, I think you are correct, the foliage looks identical to those pics. Thank you!
