Ficus microcarpa

(Ficus microcarpa "Kingman")

I won this ficus (aka Laurel Fig, aka Tigerbark) at our bonsai club meeting in September, 2005! My raffle ticket was the first one drawn, and I selected this pretty tree because it has fruit on it!

I tried to get a closeup so that you can see the fruit better:
