What kind of ficus is this?

I found the attractive ficus plant at flower shops in Japan. It is called ' Ficus grandis'.
But I can't find any information on this. Does anybody know about this ficus?

It's common name is 'Oak-leaf Rubber Tree'. It's cultural wants are the same as other more commonly grown sun loving species of Ficus. If you need cultural guidance, I'll help with recommendations.

It looks a lot like Ficus auriculata:

I agree with Al that it requires the same cultural conditions as other sun loving Ficus.

Well, after additional searching, I wonder if it is a Ficus after all? That foliage also resembles Tectona grandis (Teak):

It's easy to tell if it's teak, just rub the HUGE leaves across your skin. If the leaf removes your skin, it would prolly be teak ..... but I'm pretty sure it's not, The plant in the picture shows a leaf arrangement pattern common to plants in the Moraceae (Ficus) family, while I'm pretty sure teak would have leaves arranged in pairs opposite each other on the stem and deculsate (each pair @ 90* to the next pair above and below).

Take care. Good to see you back. ;o)

Thanks Al, nice to see you too. It's been a busy summer. I've been gone a lot the past couple of months and just spent over two weeks in southern California for my nephews wedding. I got home from California earlier this week and had jet lag for the first time ever. It took two days to get my body and brain back in sync to east coast time, LOL.

I will defer to your knowledge regarding the plant in question because it's really difficult for me to identify plants from photo's, I just guess at them most of the time. I can't see the leaf arrangement clearly (I'm way past due for an eye exam) so I was wondering whether this plant could be something other than Ficus because the leaves don't look as thick as what I've seen on Ficus trees. But then again, some Ficus do have thinner leaves than others. Thanks so much for the knowledge you share here on this site, it is greatly appreciated! By the way ... the potting medium you sent me awhile back is working well for the one and only plant I've managed to pot up so far! I hope to find some time to repot a few other things in the not too distant future and plan on using that mix!

thank you, tapla, plantladylin.
I do think it is a ficus something.
what is the real name of oak leaf rubber tree?
i found the other picture.

Common names are so confusing. Scroll down this page to Ficus Quercifolia Montana: http://www.glasshouseworks.com/trop-f.html which may be the plant you are referring to. It only shows a leaf and doesn't tell how large/tall the plant gets but may be the "Oak Leaf" Ficus in question.

The only other Ficus I find with the common name of "Oak Leaf Ficus" is the miniature, climbing vine type F. pumila quercifolia: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/102347/
