A garden plant in the form of a small bush.
Is it Ficus?

For the above link please go through reconsideration for species for me this is not Ficus americana, this should be a cultivated variety of Ficus microcarpa L.f. (Green Island Fig - Variety) a popular bonsai fig variety in South East Asia and now in India.
Kind regards,
Varun

Thanks Garg Ji.

I think you are right.

Although to me it looks more like Ficus microcarpa var. fuyuensis.

I have seen it at Jijamata Udyan in Mumbai too, in their Plant Nursery.

Thanks for the correction.
