All i have ever seen of Ficus pumila is the vine that creeps up and has small clinging to the wall//flat on the wall leaves
so searched if it has a life history of developing fruits and it was easy: MoBotG has a short sweet description, and is very apt i am copypasting it here with its URL, so that we will have it for ou website. quote from MoBotG: "Noteworthy Characteristics *Ficus pumila, commonly called creeping fig, is a vigorous, fast-growing, evergreen, * *climbing vine that from a distance simply does not look much like a fig. * *Where it may be grown outdoors, it will climb and cover walls, posts, trellises and * *other structures by adhesive aerial rootlets. Outdoor plants can grow to 15’ or more. * *On climbing stems, juvenile foliage consists of ovate, heart-shaped leaves to 1” long. * *On fruit-bearing stems, mature foliage is oblong to elliptic, thicker, shinier and larger (to 4” long). * *Hairy pear-shaped fruits (to 2.5” long) may appear on outdoor plants throughout the year. * *Fruits emerge green ripening to purple. Flowers and fruits rarely appear on indoor plants. * *Stems have a milky sap. Indoors, this plant may be grown on room-dividing trellises or * *in hanging baskets or sprawling over a shelf. Varieties available in commerce include * *ones with variegated foliage and with oak-like lobed leaves. Synonymous with F. repens." end quote * URL: http://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/PlantFinder/PlantFinderDetails.aspx?kempercode=b599 thanks Dinesh for showing this fruit Regards Ushadi On Sun, Dec 1, 2019 at 7:22 AM 'Nayan Singh' via efloraofindia < [email protected]> wrote: > I think Ficus pumila > > Thanks > > Nayan. > ........................... > N.S.Dungriyal IFS > Retd.
