Some say "Eugenoides" and others "Obliqua" I just call them Queensland small leaf mate! (QSL)
It saves any disagreements

Here are the semi styled mediums.
With creating the Banyan style I use a combination of wire and clip and grow methods.

I really like the hollowed trunk. once you get some ramification and leaf size down it will be impressive.
