could be a young magnolia but It does look like a fig

if you select 3-4 of the strongest branches and prune them at about 1ft from the soil, it will grow in a nice open habit...or select one and prune it at about 2ft, stake it and it will be more of a half standard style

the whip should be pruned at about 1' as well, this will induce branching below the cut

It is a fig..

Yes that's what I would do

and if the shoots in the first picture are all coming out of the soil and not branching from each other, you can actually seperate then and do the same

They are all coming from one stem in the first couple photos. I'll try rooting cuttings. I see that there are some threads on this. If anyone had any other links and care to share, that would be great. I'll do some reading up on it.
