This Ficus has interesting 3 to 4 inches very glossy leaves. It was supposedly a small-leaf form of Ficus macrophylla, which it’s not. I gave it to my mom 16 years ago. She keeps it small and manicured. Photo taken in San Francisco Bay Area on February 21, 2025.

No, it’s definitely not those varieties. It has a different type of leaf and it has an extremely shiny, gloosy leaf, it almost looks wet. It’s difficult to tell, because it’s always cut back to this size.

Green Island is glossy. If the leaves are roundish and seem kind of succulent than it might be Green Island.

I’m not sure, but this one supposedly grows into a very large tree. There’s so many species and varieties which grow in California.

Might be one of the Green Island/Green Gem varieties used in Bonsai. I have the Green Island in pot in part shade but if it was in ground in full sun it might have leaf reduction.
