Fast to establish and ideal for covering unsightly surfaces, this fig will soon give you a green living wall. Take care when planting on paint & rendered surfaces as the aerial roots may mark.

Good points:

attractive juvenile foliage
fast-growing
shade tolerant
tough
low maintenance

Downside:

very aggressive grower once established
very high maintenance if grown on buildings – will dislodge roof tiles, damage wooden structures and attempt to cover everything in a curtain of green
