To palmbob,
That looks more like the Weeping Fig (Ficus benjamina) than the species you are sending this picture to, which is Ficus microcarpa. I would like you to compare this picture to the one you posted just previously before this one, which is the correct photo of the species Ficus microcarpa. See the differences between the previous one, which is the right picture of Ficus microcarpa, and this one? This photo has more wispy leaves, exactly like the Weeping Fig (Ficus benjamina) than the much less wispy look of the leaves of Ficus microcarpa. Please reply! I hope you please understand what I mean.
Actually, you're right...it's not a Weeping Fig. It just looked like that in the orginial photo. I'm still not sure it's a Laurel Fig (Ficus microcarpa) either, though. Could it be another species other than F. benjamina and F. microcarpa? Please reply!
P.s.: It dosn't look quite like F. microcarpa... are the leaves on F. microcarpa as round as this photo you are showing me shows?
It might be, or it might not be, you could say! Maybe it's just that this Laurel Fig (F. microcarpa) has rounder leaves than most other specimens I normally see here in central and southern Florida. Otherwise, you can't really tell. You might be right or not...
