FIG IVY ESPALIER #5
$85.00 / EA

Botanical Name:  Ficus pumila Espalier Form

Mature Size: 20-50ft H, 3-6ft W, Varies with age and Pruning

Light Requirement: Sun to Shade

Water Need: Medium

Cold Hardiness: Zone 8 (15 to 20F) to 11 (above 40F)

Description: Adapted. Evergreen, self-clinging vine with small juvenile leaves forming dense, textured mat on walls, fences, or masonry. In full sun, growth is dense, leaves remain small, and coverage is rapid; in full shade, growth is slower with larger, thinner leaves and a more open texture. Matures to larger, leathery adult leaves if left unpruned for long periods. Attaches directly to surfaces with aerial roots, requiring no additional support. Remains evergreen in mild winters but may thin or partially defoliate after hard freezes, recovering quickly in spring. Can cause surface staining or mortar damage over time if not managed. Prune regularly to control spread and encourage fresh juvenile growth. Can be considered high-maintenance; beautiful when kept in bounds but requires regular pruning to avoid structural damage or takeover of nearby plants. Ideal for creating lush, green coverage on walls, fences, and large trellises where a dense, evergreen look is desired. Espalier form.
