Is it possible to identify a ficus from fruit. Mines got fruit for the first time.

Looks just like the fruit of Port Jackson to my untrained eye but
I don't believe you can tell from that alone.

Hello Bonborn,
Many physiological features of the Ficus plant may aid in an ID for your Ficus but the definitive feature for an accurate ID is with their fruits.
So get your Veneer Calipers out and start measuring.
The below link will aid with native species:

P.S.
A wild guess from the only image posted would be a Port Jackson or maybe a Microcarpa or maybe a Hillii. What about the trunk? What does the trunk look like?
Good Luck,
Kevin
