Default Ivy climbing the wall

Trim it back to where you want it. If its anything like english ivy it will
not hurt the plant and will train it to a particular area. You will have to
trim regularly though

Amigos y Amigas -

My Boston Ivy is literally climbing the 6-ft block wall.
Some has reached the top.

What do I do now? Have never faced this dilemma before.



It will drape down again.. Unless theres a roof at the top of the wall
worry not.. Trim if you wish.

Incidentally Boston Ivy (Parthenocissus) is no close relative of Ivy
(Hedera). The only relation between them is that they are both climbers.
