OT: Ficus Pumila (Pics)

Hi everyone!

I stumbled across this interesting vine-type cousin of the common fig. It's called Ficus Pumila. I did a quick search on the forum and found no topic discussing this species. It's not edible, but it was still pretty cool to see it and smell its fragrance. It smelled a little bit like tomatoes, onions, and cilantro (?), for lack of a better description. Basically, it's a very different smell than we're used to. It's completely void of the sweet smell of the buds and wood of common figs. And if I'm not mistaken, it's an evergreen. Just wanted to share this with y'all. 

Take care!

Thanks, Dan!
Yes, it is evergreen , it grows around my fence.
Looks nice but needs constant pruning, quite an aggressive grower.
