| Botanical Name | Ficus pumila |
| Description | A hardy vine that uses aerial roots to cling to surfaces without a trellis. It is exceptionally resilient in Houston's humidity. While adaptable to many soil types, it performs best in well-drained organic soil and should avoid waterlogged clay. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Full Shade |
| Height x Width | 15-20' Height (Climbing) x 3-5' Width |
| Water | Moderate; drought-tolerant once established. Regular watering ensures lush coverage during hot Houston summers. |
| Zones | 8 - 11 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring. |
| Pruning | Prune as needed to maintain boundaries or to remove larger "adult" foliage. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
