Hi all

Can anyone ID this ficus for me please. I was given the plant by a neighbour but I'm not sure what species it is. I was thinking Port Jackson or Morton Bay Fig.

Also, any ideas on the plant next to the ficus (on the right). I think it might be some sort of maple perhaps... it's deciduous. Leaves are quite large so I'm not sure how good it will be for bonsai.

thanks

Pretty sure the left is a Port Jackson.

No idea on the right. Not my type of tree sorry.

Don't know about the fig, but I'll take a crack at the other one. Acer campestre or common name Field Maple. As you can see from Walter Pall's tree, they make rubbish bonsai.......
