I agree Aprill.......if so, I don't like the likelihood of the nice
stone wall surviving too long??

The landscaper who did the gardens for my house (built as exhibition
house) planted two small Ficus Benjamina about 2m (6ft) from the side
brick wall of the house. When I bought the house I decided they had a
limited life because I knew of their reputation and this wasn't a good
place for them to be planted....with one thing and another the job
wasn't done for a couple of years until I suddenly noticed they 'took
off' after a bout of consistent rain and put on over a metre of growth
in about a month and the surface roots went from finger diameter to
arm-size diameter, plus they were heading for the house. They make a
nice potted specimen, of which I have two, but in the ground they need
LOTS of space where they can spread without fear of damage by the root
system.

Hope this helps?

It looks a bit like Ficus benjamina to me. Any other ideas?
