Yes, most species of Ficus will fuse but I wanted to keep the over all look uniform and not worry about the bark matching. That and the fact that I happened to have quite a few retusa cuttings and knowing that this species is very prolific and will take quite a lot of abuse. From all the years that I've had Ficus the retusa is one species that I found will grow quite profusely even during the winter under artificial light.
For a first time experiment I wanted the most hardy species to work on and it is indeed very hardy! I'm going to have to prune it down a tad before I bring it inside for the winter as its getting a way too large!
