What kind of fig is this? Says the fruits are 1kg. The trees have names. Great pics.Five 600-years-old fig trees in Nghe An

The leaves are long & skinny & look remarkably like my ficus longifolia... The pictures of Banyan leaves that I'm seeing online are not long & skinny. 1 kg fruits should be a good clue since I don't imagine there are many fig types that produce fruits of that size.

Look at willow leaf ficus. Looking around I found that banyan seems to also be the style that it growns in not just the one type of ficus. Very nice learn something new every day.

Good thing they didn't sell/move them. That would be so unnatural and unfair.
