Ficus nipponica Groundcover Shrubs few trees are as quietlyFicus nipponica is a handsome evergreen climbing fig from Japan and temperate East Asia, a self clinging vine that dresses walls, masonry, and tree trunks in glossy green the year round.

Botanists now file the plant under the sprawling Ficus sarmentosa complex, as Ficus sarmentosa var.
