I've recently become a bit fascinated with all the awesome figs that grow around Sydney & was wondering if anyone could help me ID this one. Pretty sure it's not the 'weeping fig', Ficus benjamina (yeah thanks google) but aside from that I'm not sure, eg. if it's a native or what. I've had a look at a few keys, but I'm not much of a botanist - superba is my best guess so far, but I'm not sure because there are very few signs of aerial roots on this one & most pics of other trees don't show such long weepy whippy new growth.
