have you done an inter-species fusion? though about mixing retusa and benjimina, but decided not- and probably for the best.
I have a very large ficus retusa that has the foliage of a ficus macrocarpa (Gold Coin) grafted onto it. The grafted branches are fusing well to the main trunk, if I get some time today I'll try to take some photos. I believe that most ficus species with fuse with each other, the trick is to find ones where the trunk colors match so you don't have obvious 'stripes' or other differences between the two trunks.
