Biggest Ficus rubiginosa in SoCal?

It was nearly dark when I shot these, so quality isn't great, but... Didn't have any measuring tools with me, so I can't give dimensions, but the trunk (with largest-framed Trek for scale) is easily the largest I've seen locally. Smooth-leafed ('australis' form).

SoCal and SoFla; zone varies by location.

That is a very large Ficus rubiginosa! There's some very large, old ones here in San Diego and on Coronado Island.

Here's a pic of a large one on Coronado Island. I think it's the variety 'australis' as it has many aerial roots. I think this tree is around 60ft/18m tall and was recently thinned out before I took this photo on Oct. 8, 2010.
