They are two different figs. First, and fourth pic look like Ficus virens (White Fig) and the others are probably Ficus macrophylla. (Moreton Bay Fig).

I wondered if the trunk and the leaves in the 4th pick looked a bit like a mango?

Hmmmm? Mango. Could be. The trunk does not look like a fig with that cracking. Rintar, get a pic of the growing tip and do the milky sap and alternate leaf routine.

hi all,

from what you said hack I Googled and I believe you ID of Ficus Virens (White Fig) is on the money the other is definitely a mango does any one know if mangos transplant well and if so when is best time as I'll have to get the council boys to move it to the cottage garden around work it is only about 1m high.

Back to the Virens I have added two more photos one of fruit one of leaf with my hand behind do these reduce much?? their were also a few branches touching the ground so I scraped back to cambium layer and covered with soil on one of these to see how it goes at rooting and be ready for collection in October.

It looks like their are 3 or more variety of ficus around work so I will hopefully have a nice varied collection to play with.

Cheers
