I erroneously mentioned the date as August 2021, it is actually December 2025.

The shortly-peduncled figs in the first image are not characteristic of Ficus amplissima.

I think the toss-up is between Ficus arnottiana and F. virens. I am leaning towards F. arnottiana, though it does look incongruous "by the roadside".

Best wishes, Viplav
