A friend of mine has a plant that she can't identify. I have a camera and have had such great experiences with this site, so we're trying here.

The plant is just over 2 feet tall, and has a lot of very thick, shiny, healthy, green leaves. It's in a room with a west facing window, on the opposite side of the room. Here are a few pictures.

Thanks for any help!

It's a fig! I don't know if there are different varieties.

That's fantastic! It is distinctive looking, so it's not surprising you were able to figure it out so quickly. My friend is so happy to know, although it's a lot to find out that it may be 15m tall! thank you!
