Parthenocissus is far less invasive IMO than ivy. It's easier to control and
does not go as ballistic :~)

Parthenocissus as in Boston ivy (ivy like leaves) as opposed to Virginia
Creeper (horse chestnut like leaves) grows more in a year than ivy. Ivy
gets up about half a storey, boston ivy will go a full storey.

Boston ivy doesn't cling as hard and is easier to pull off.

And remember that ivy is more vigorous in wetter conditions, and
Boston ivy and Virginia Creeper in drier ones.
