    I have bought this plant ages ago and have lost the name of it. Could please someone tell me what it is?
    Thank you!

    Looks like Ficus binnendijkii, Narrow-leaf Fig. (Possibly the 'Alii' cultivar.)

    Thank you! I would have never thought that this is a ficus, I always think of them as the ones with the more rounder leaves.
    I have already read up on it now and it is actually a hybrid from the 80's and the common name is Saber Ficus.
    Thank you so much for your help!
