Looks like "regular" F. benjamina to me, though fruit (larger, lighter in color) resembles that of F. benjamina 'Exotica'. The foliage and habit of the tree pictured do not match the (garden-derived) F. benjamina 'Exotica'. Perhaps it is F. benjamina var. nuda? Ficus benjamina in Pune has figs 2-3 cm. Are these bigger than 3 cm? It looks benjamina all right. May be its a mature old tree to bear this size figs. Nuda has red and 1 cm sized figs. This does look like usual Ficus benjamina to me, but there are more than one cultivars of this, nuda and compacta. ... many many thanks for the ID ... am convinced with Ficus benjamina. The figs, yellowish like ripe lemon colour, are about 20 - 25 mm slightly ellipsoid abruptly tapering to a point ... hope that can give us some idea about the variety.

It was amazing to see such a huge tree. There are many more rare trees & flora in this garden. This is pretty, and I got confused from the branching patterns..... I think they have some how deliberately entangled the branches during early stages. But very nice and rare pic of this hude plant, which is usually seen in gardens only.
Taken on the 9th of April, 2011 at Jijamata Udyan, Mumbai, Maharashtra. A huge tree. Ficus benjamina. Thanks for sharing. The fruit size is bigger than what I have seen. There are few cultivars of benjamina which has smaller leaves. SYMBIOSIS: 1 correct image as above. Attaching three imges of bird/plant symbiosis.

Name given was Black Ficus having dark green leaves. The bark had a beautiful design on it. Ficus blackiana or Ficus benjamina 'Black' The Weeping Fig is an evergreen tree, native to south and southeast Asia. It is the official tree of Bangkok, Thailand. It is a tree reaching 30 m tall in natural conditions, with gracefully drooping branchlets and glossy leaves 6-13 cm long, oval with a pointed tip. In its native range, its small fruit are a favorite food of some birds. It is a very popular house plant, due to its elegant growth and tolerance of poor growing conditions; it does best under bright, sunny conditions but will also tolerate considerable shade. It requires a moderate amount of watering in summer, and only enough to keep it from drying out in the winter. It does not need to be misted. The plant is sensitive to cold and should be protected from strong drafts. When grown indoors, it can grow too large for its situation, and may need drastic pruning or replacing. The leaves are very sensitive to small changes in light. When it is re-located it reacts by dropping many of its leaves and replacing them with new leaves adapted to the new light intensity. Weeping Fig has many varieties like Ficus benjamina var. nuda and Ficus benjamina var. comosa. Ref. Amazon More 4 images.
