Ficus Identification

[NewWorldBonsai]

Does anyone have any idea what variety of microcarpa this is? I just realized on my inventory that I have all these ficus mislabeled and need to correct it!

This is the same exact variety they use to graft onto those "Gensing Ficus".

Thank you!

That would be a Green Isle (Island).

No, it isn't a Green Island but that's the closest one I've found to it. This variety has a different bark and never produces the little figs. That's why I'm a little confused because I had them down as Green Island but after comparing them side by side they are most definitely not...

Thanks for the response.

There are 2 Green Island varieties. The one has rounder leafs and produces plenty figs. The other one has a bit of a pointed end and does not always bear figs ( Green Mound Ficus). Could be the second one.

I concur with Dorothy. There are two varieties and the second one is known as a Green Island Mound... it has a pointed leaf with a rougher bark texture and produces no figs. It grows much faster than the rounded Green Island ficus and has more unruly aerial roots.
