Does anyone know what variety it is? I hear it's been there since mid 1800's. Some speculate it is Brunswick. A friend from a nusrsery near by gets permission to take cuts from it. Ive got one headed my way.

Do you have any pictures.

Only this one from the website of the nursery my friend works at. http://www.rarefindnursery.com/dsp_LargeImage.cfm?imagename=Ficus_composite300&producttitle=FICUS%20carica%20%20%20%27Bartram%27s %20Garden%27

It is a beauty!

I think you are right this is Brunswick.
