I tried to look this up however I have do not have a basis to narrow my search results. I am looking for the name of a small tree, it's most notable feature is it's trunk that intertwines. It looks like two or three different trunks twisted together.
The shoots were plaited by the grower while they were still young and flexible; it isn't something that happens naturally. This can be done with lots of different plants, but the one that is most commonly sold like this is probably Ficus benjamina (Weeping Fig).
Pachira aquatica and Ficus benjamina are two trees that are often braided together. A description of the tree's features would help in its identification.
The leaves on the weeping fig look like it's on the money. However I have had this tree for 8 or 9 years now on it has yet to grow over 5', it does not bear any fruit or flowers. I guess this could be due to lack of proper care. I will try to post a picture.
