I just wonder if anyone has ever grown an Ivy bush.
If you take acuting from the shrubby growth of Ivy then if it roots
it will keep growing as a shrub and not as a rambling plant.
I had one for several years, till it was hit by a falling branch.

No but that would be really pretty, especially if a variegated one was
grown like that. Opposite Dartington Cider Press there's a dear
little Cotoneaster which someone has grown as a weeping standard.
Covered with berries an its lovely, dark green leaves, it's a very
Christmassy
picture.

Yes, I've done it, at a time when I was fascinated by ivies. I used the
arborescent growth of a quite ordinary green form for cutting material,
and it grew nicely, until it finally decided to produce climbing growth
again --which I didn't think was possible.
