Looking for an ID please

Question

Hi All,

I've had this plant for over 10 years and have lost the info on what it's called. The leafs drop over winter.

Any information would be greatly appreciated in identifying.

I'm pretty sure it's a succulent.

It looks very much like a Ficus, but I don't profess to have any authority on this. What makes you think it's a succulent?

What makes you think it's a succulent?

 

By the way it feels. It doesn't feel woody. This could be due to it's size though. It's never pudded more branchs. New Season growth always comes from were the plant left off from the season before.

MMM but that bulbous trunk does make it look succulent, Figs are big on water though so maybe the small pot, and normal watering could do that, How often has it been repotted. Are the leaves a bit rough? If so I will stick with fig...lol

All this thinking about my plant has jolted my memory of where I bought it. I've emailed them. When or if they get back to me, do you want me to post the name or do people what to keep guessing?

blowng, I'll do the dismember test hopefully tomorrow and get back to you.

Dworx, watering is very infrequent, that I remember. It's probably why it's still alive :)
