    The tree detailed in the attached pictures has been received 14 years before and
    4 year remained 100 cm high. After starting with used tee bag insertion, in the ground, near the stem, it started to grow. After 1 year it was 2 m. high. May anybody explain
    this and to identify this tree ?

    Probably Ficus lyrata.

    Thank you for the tree identification. There are some Ficus Lyrata trees grown in my street but my tree is the highest. May be the Chinese dark tee used bags I put him? May the tee leaves contain a grow stimulant. The ground is a sandy, red type named 'HAMRA' and I never put it fertilizer, just water.
