I don't know if there is a specific name for it, but I do know that Fig (ficus) trees are supposed to be the easiest to do it with.

Thankyou Cricket,

That was exactly what I was looking for. I've added it to my favorites so I can refer back to it.

The tree I had in mind is considered to be bad. So I am reconsidering saving it. I guess it attracts bugs and carries diseases. I wouldn't want to bring that in the apartment with all the house plants I have amassed this year lol.
