''Ficus pumila'' (creeping fig or climbing fig) is a species of flowering plant in the mulberry family, native to East Asia (China, Japan, Vietnam)〔(Flora of China, ''Ficus pumila'' Linnaeus, 1753. 薜荔 bi li )〕 and naturalized in parts of the southeastern and south-central United States.〔(Flora of North America, ''Ficus pumila'' Linnaeus, 1753. Climbing fig )〕〔(Biota of North America Program 2014 county distribution map )〕

==Cultivation==
As the common name, "creeping fig" indicates, the plant has a creeping/vining habit and is often used in gardens and landscapes where it covers the ground and climbs up trees and walls. It is not frost-hardy, and in temperate regions is often seen as a houseplant. It is fast-growing and requires little in the way of care. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://apps.rhs.org.uk/plantselector/plant?plantid=798 )〕
It can become invasive and cover structures and landscape features if not maintained and its growth contained. When climbing buildings or wooden structures, the woody tendrils can cling or root in, and damage structures and/or their surface finishes.
