Just wanted to.....
Hi,
Something had been nagging at the back of my mind. So, I did a little research to refresh my memory. Matt and I are both right on the type of Ficus your tree is. The Goldengate Ficus is a type of Retusa and it belongs to the Family of "F. microcarpa". The same goes for The Tiger Bark Ficus which you could probably say is a "cousin" of the Golden Gate because it is a type of Retusa. Although, the bark for the Tiger Bark should be a little more shaded with red and the "stripes" are a bit more predominate. With all the varieties they are coming out with, it is hard to keep up with them.
Hope this helps,
