Hi there,

I spotted these trees growing by the footpath in Essendon.

Does anyone know the variety?

Ficus Nitida maybe?

Hi Daluke , mate it looks like a ficus benjamina- weeping fig .

Cheers . Alpine

Try ficus hillii

Many council areas will have some sort of "tree planting strategy" document on their web sites listing their policies for planting/removal etc and also a list of what is planted where. If you are really lucky, they will have it organised by tree species and by street! The Adelaide City Council also has a google earth layer, with the position of each tree and associated details.

F. microcarpa var. hillii

I third Ficus microcarpa hilli. Looks exactly like it, especially with that grey trunk in the background

You can find these as standards with long trunks and a ball on top. I've airlayered and wired a few with great results
