    I bought this tree when it was about 30 cm high, where I bought it all they knew it was a ficus, I have had it for around 7 years, it grows very slow, it is now about 2.50 Mt.
    A big leaf is more or less 17 cm long. I am attaching a front view of the leaf and a back view, for sure some of the knowledgeable people here can identify it

    Chris, I am sorry but this is a different plant than the one you kindly identified for me before as Teak, Tectona grandis.
    This has a much smaller leaves and all I know,as I mentioned before this was sold to me as a Ficus
    Thank you Chris

    Leaves don't look as shiny as Sigtris's plant, although it could be the photo...

    Chris, thank you twice one for identifying and for the URL in Spanish, that made it a lot easier for me to read all about and what it says there matches my tree.

    Ed, maybe my leaves don't look as shiny because they were wet
