You know, it probably depends on how fast the tree grows, which depends on your growing conditions and climate. I find that Ficus benjamina really don't heal very rapidly in our mediterranean climate (hot, dry summers). I am sure the story is VERY different in the tropical climates. Also they are prone to dieback from pruning wounds, so I stub mine off, let it die back some and then make a clean cut.
