Need help on the species of this tree

Hey everyone

My grandpa just gave me this tree, he says it's a pomegranate tree but to me it kind of looks like an olive tree.

What do you guys think?









Thank you

Olive with a Liquid amber? growing underneath.

I actually think it's an avocado and a tea plant growing under it haha
So the main tree is an olive tree then?

Looks like an olive to me as well. Pomegranate leaves are a bit longer, slightly different colour and not so leathery.
The smaller seedling could be a trident maple but not certain - can't see it clear enough.

Hello,

Definitely Olive.

Those two before me know their Horticulture.

I think Olive too.

Thanks everyone!

Hey Kevin,
Yeah the ficus Benjamina have exploded after the trunk chop and root prune. I was very nervous at first because everyone told me the struggle to back bud on older wood. But all three have really exploded with growth from everywhere. I've already done initial styling and branch selections

Here are a few pictures of two of the three:

Hello Bonsai_beginner_Green Thumb

The Figs look great, well done.
They root well from cuttings too, if you wanted more plants when you decide to prune and shape the big ones.
The F. benjamina in my avatar was grown from cuttings, it's about 3 metres tall now and i noticed when photographing for my avatar, it too has decided to send out new shoots from the top of the pot all the way up.

Olive trees make good bonsai too.

Have fun, talk soon.
