Certified ExpertA.Probably not very well. This is a very slick surface. Maybe you can tack in some chicken wire, or any other metal wire fencing. Wood would be best, but this might not be an option in this case.

Certified ExpertA.Not in the edible sense. What comes from these are not palatable unless specially prepared. They are not toxic, but they are not regarded as edible, generally.

April 26, 2019A.Creeping Fig will attach to anything, so to keep it from spreading would require its removal entirely.

Austin TexasQ.What are these bugs pests on my ficus (creeping fig)? If yes, how can I control them?
Brownish looking spider like insects with six legs and 2 long antennae live in the creeping fig outside. They seem to have stunted its growth . When I water the plant they crawl up the wall. What could they be and what do I do about them? They are not like the spider mites I see on images. They are about half inch in size including legs. Tick like looking body. Thanks for your help

San Diego, CAQ.Is Our Creeping Fig Killing The Other Plants Nearby?
Last year we cleared out a section in the yard for a veggie garden. In one area there is a creeper fig (At least I think that’s what it is) on the fence and it’s spread under the garden bed and is growing under the wood retaining wall. Everything we planted in that area died. It would do okay for a few weeks then turn yellow and die. This included cucumbers, peas, a bell pepper plant, beets and strawberries. Most of these items did well in other sections of the yard with similar sun levels.

Certified ExpertA.It could be the reason. The vine is very aggressive and requires a lot of water. It may have robbed your other plants of moisture. Yellowing can be a sign of improper watering.
