Can anybody tell me what king of tree is this ??? Its the one with the arrows it is similar to the one on the right just do not have white spots on the leaves. I think it was suppose to be in house tree. thanks
Looks like a variegated cultivar of the same; there are several with either bright or pale yellow leaf margins. Compare with pics: http://images.google.co.uk/images?q=Ficus benjamina variegated
Yes, Ficus benjanima. Since you are in Honolulu, I would guess the plants can stay where they are. Are these yours, or were you just curious what they are?
Hi, yes they are both mine, they provide nice cover from the neighbors :) I wanted to know what are they called to find out how to propagate them. I am not sure if they are suppose to be a "cover" trees or not but sure doing a great job
If retained in that narrow border near a wooden structure some day someone will curse them having been planted there. In tropical latitudes, the Weeping Fig makes a very large and stately tree for parks and other urban situations, such as wide roads http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ficus_benjamina

hmm.. maybe tree is way too much for what I want. Maybe I should consider something else for a fence kind of tree or bush.
The tree in the picture is only that big because people let it get that big. You can always prune it back. The main reason it is that big is becasue of the airial roots taking hold and forming trees of their own. If you get those, just cut them back, and you should be fine. I'm jsut assuming this is the way to do it, but I have never gardened in a tropical climate.
mine had only one tree stub back when it was planted and now is 5 of them growing by each other. In the tropics everything grow out of control, I am not a plant expert but everything here is just much bigger and more lusher. I actually cut it down a bit last week
