The plant you showed was one of the possibilities I found searching "willow" and "ficus" - is it sometimes called a willow ficus? As you may notice in the image below, I thought that the leaves on my plant looked more slender, less woody, and are arranged on the stem more like a palm leaf. That's what has me baffled! Except for that big, thick wooden trunk, this plant really reminds me of a palm. Thanks for the suggestion - maybe it's a different variety of your ficus...
