Default Advice on Ivy please

My answer to your question is the same as the famous advice to the
young man considering marriage - Don't!

Seriously, you will find it good to start with because it will cover
the wall quickly, but it won't stop there and you will have a
never-ending job to prune it (on both sides because it will grow over
and through the wall). It will grow sideways as well unto anything at
the ends of the wall.

Now someone will come along and disagree, I'm sure!
