Mine has little suckers too where the tendrils attach to the wall. I
don't know the variety though.


Possibly you both have Parthenocissus tricuspidata Veitchii? *It's one

We do, don't we David? I bought a few with tendrils but not with
sticky pad suckers until the Veitchi one. I have half a dozen rooting
at the moment for friends and neighbours, fingers crossed.
