Hi everyone!

Creeping Fig.....does anyone know some good cultural details on this shrub/vine??

I am in the pac NW and in a zone 8. The Sunset Book says this plant is 8 - 24. I am wondering if anyone else, especially in my area has grown this plant successfully?

Thanks! My client wants to cloak a 3 ft tall retaining wall with it, if she can. Full sun, might create a good micro climate!

I'm in zone 7b and it does fine here. I have seen it get knocked back pretty hard by severe cold. Planted some on a job back in July and it's already gone 30" up the masonry
