Dear All,


snippy

It can be very aggressive but if you get a slower growing bi-coloured
one it will not only cover your eyesore but will be manageable and
pleasing to look at. 'Goldheart' is slower growing than common ivy
but still grows quickly and to its credit lights up a dark corner. I
have a white and green one which is small leaved and very slow
growing but I don't know the type. I suggest you consult an ivy
specialist, there are many types.

I agree. I had a varigated one on a wall for years. 'Prune' with shears when
ever you pass it......no probs.
However, if in the future you decide to get rid of it...............that's a
whole different kettle of fish!
