You decide.

I have seen that most all banyan trees have pointed end oval shaped
leafs fairly uniformly shaped and curved down the sides. *These leafs
are more oddly shaped and not the oval shape. *Pretty much confirms
it's not banyan, but my question was and is, what is it?

Thanks!

To me it looks like Fiddle-leaf Fig
Ficus lyrata *(F. pandurata)

Depends on what you mean by banyan. That may be any number of Ficus
species that are capable of growing multiple trunks. Ficus microcarpa
is perhaps the most typical. Also, many species of figs can become
stranglers if the seeds germinate up near the top of a tree. In your
case, snap one of the leaf stems. if it bleeds white, sticky latex,
you know it is some kind of fig.
