pankajai,
Very nice. I have seen ficus pumila for last thirty years but never
come across the fruits.
F.pumila is common in all hill stations as well in kokan. lot of old
buildings in Lonavala/khandala/mahabaleshwara are fully covered by
this.
For today if enough moisture is provided can be used for green walls.

So Hemant ji, Question arises, if it does not fruit how does it spread
far and wide, on top of buildings?

its generally from bird poop, seeds being ingested from fruit eating..
mystery?

ssolution??

It spreads by vegetative growth of the creeping stem.

On this  site somebody reported that this weakens the wall which slowly disintegrates, and therefore is very different from ivy which is not harmful to the building it spreads on. Should we use it on walls in tropical climate or no. Ivy if I understand correctly can be successfully grown in temperate climate only.
