Ficus pumila Posted by Fred SC on August 18, 2024, 12:14 pm Here is a close up and broader view of my creeping fig . It is in patches all over my woods. Birds dropped seed , I assume. Whichever, I love it. It is rated to zone 7 a. https://i.ibb.co/bHvX9wN/IMG-5466.jpg https://i.ibb.co/wz1B7Dp/IMG-5468.jpg https://i.ibb.co/hcHr3tJ/IMG-5467.jpg

Re: Ficus pumila Posted by Alvin, z6 on August 18, 2024, 10:16 pm, in reply to "Ficus pumila" Fred, does it root all along its leaf joints, like English ivy? Grows similarly.

Re: Ficus pumila Posted by Fred SC on August 19, 2024, 7:10 am, in reply to "Re: Ficus pumila" Yes, Alvin, it seems to root as it goes but not deep root. My daughter has it all on her home foundation in shade. It is so little that it looks great on the brick.

creeping fig grass Posted by Rob N TN on August 21, 2024, 4:22 pm, in reply to "Ficus pumila" We have that too Fred. My old neighbor told me years ago it does best on concrete or stone if planted. Never on wood. Did you know it can fruit (it is a true fig) but the fruit is very small and birds eat it. That's a nice bunch you have

Re: creeping fig grass Posted by Fred SC on August 22, 2024, 6:26 am, in reply to "creeping fig grass" Thanks, Rob. I do like it . It has spread in several areas in my woods. It is commonly seen on brick in Charleston.
