Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Attractive small species, somewhat resembling the Ficus pumila but with more triangular leaves and a more matte green color. This collection by Cliff Parks, as yet unidentified, creates a most useful groundcover or small wall covering and has been at least 10 °F more frost hardy than its cousins. Medium shade to full sun and drought tolerant though faster growing with adequate moisture. Has survived a little below 0 °F, USDA zone 7, and been undamaged at 10 °F, zone 8. Moraceae
