| Description | Ficus pumila Minima
The 'Mini' Climbing Ficus is a fast growing, evergreen, hardy traditional climber with a much smaller leaf than its larger leaved relative. Cover up a fence or wall with this self-supporting climber for a lush green formal or informal effect in the garden.
Ficus Minima will tolerate shade and is a good solution for walls or fences that don't get much sun. As this is a hardy grower, once it's established it will need the odd prune to keep it off windows etc.
