How to keep English Ivy alive
My son built a new house 2 years ago. The front yard was too steep to
mow, so he spent almost $100,000 having English Ivy planted in the yard. Spring of last year. The ivy did fair through the summer, but then appeared to all die during the winter. We were told it would come back this spring and it did. However about 2 weeks ago almost all of it has turned yellow and much of it has completely lost it's leaves. We have done nothing to the ivy to make it do this. He is frantic and thinks he may have lost $100,000 in landscaping costs. He cannot affort do do any more landscaping at all now. He called the local garden center and they told him that it needed water, which I don't see any way that could be true, we have had lots of rain over the last few weeks, and ivy is suppose to be drought resistant! Plus it did fine through a minor drought earlier this year. Anyone have any idea what the problem might be? There are sections that are still green, but few and far between. Thanks, Marshall |
