If it has small medium-dark green oblong leaf (about 3" long) then you're looking for a ficus tree. Be on the watch for trees with white puffs on the leaves, or masses of lumps which contain a sap sucking insect called scale. Ficus like to be in a good lighted area, and really don't like dramatic temperature changes, so be cautious as to where you place it. They can also grow to quite a height, and will bleed if you cut them, so take precautions when pruning.
Good luck!

I'm not sure what to say. You need to give more details. What are the leaves like?
If the trunks are twisted, do you mean they're braided? I know the "Money Tree" is braided. Try looking up Ficus too.

Gotta be a ficus benjamina. Lots of advice on line for taking care of them. In temporate areas along southern coastlines where it doesn't freeze, they do very well under eaves and in protected areas around the north and east sides of the house.
If you have to have it inside, understand that you are probably going to have to re-pot it several times before it reaches maturity. They get root bound after 3-5 years. You can prune them to keep the shape and size from pushing through the roof. They need to be fertilized regularly. Yellow leaf drop is normal every so often, but if it is constant, stop watering so much. Keep the soil moist but not saturated. And, never leave the roots soaking in water.

I have the same plant with a braided trunk . If the leaves are starting to fall with the change of weather you can bet it's a ficus.
