It is a Ficus alright... A Ficus Ginseng to be a bit more specific. By the way... Get rid of those stones, they are not needed in any way and they would't add up anything interesting to the possible general design.

Well, not a 100% sure, but the bulbous and deformed shape of its roots gives me a hint. The thing is, I don?t know for sure if any other ficus variety presents this feature besides Ginseng.
