Spruce I was hoping that the cold snap where I live would kill off overwintering queen wasps. It would appear quite a few have survived. Mind you, as of yesterday there is one less to breed this summer. |

The message
from "wafflycat" contains these words: I was hoping that the cold snap where I live would kill off overwintering queen wasps. It would appear quite a few have survived. Mind you, as of yesterday there is one less to breed this summer. Wopses are our friends. I'm hoping there'll be another hornets' nest this year. Heathrow!

Thanks Spruce, yeah it does - but it's growing on an upright tree-like stem...that makes it a tree surely??

It is not Boston Ivy, but Virginia Creeper Parthenocissus quinquefolia. It starts off on a small stem, but is a rampant climber, though less aggressive than Boston Ivy. It is not a tree.

Eat yer heart out! Can't stand them. As a child I remember the screams from my brother after some bullies had put a hornet down the back of his shirt. No thanks. I know they eat garden pests but they are too aggressive for my liking. |

I was hanging out washing today in a Dutch barn type thing:, a hornet, buzzed me, too many times, I laid it out, with a wet pair of boxer shorts. I hate them!!!!! Judith |

RegraCineman Have a long think about using such an inseceticide - it's a systemic one and there is growing concern about such insecticides over a *possible* unintended side-effect of killing bees. |

Ah, then it's definitely not that as it's grown about 8 inches in 2 years.. my dad's got that growing up the wall and you're right it is rampant! here's another couple of pics.. http://tinyurl.com/c6fqxs http://tinyurl.com/dmwp9z It's looking less and less like a tree. Trees tend to have a leading upright growth with branches sent off sideways. This one keeps bifurcating. Everything about it says 'young climber' to me. Even rampant plants very often start slowly while they build a good root system as the foundation for future growth. You mean it wouldn't be showing any tendrils - or whatever - yet, Kay, if it's a climber? And thank you for directing me to the other photos. -- -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Exotic plants, shrubs & perennials South Devon |

Indeed but there's no sign of any such inclination - YET - in this plant. It's much too woody already to behave as your suggestions, don't you think?! And thank you for directing me to the other photos. Ah, so it wasn't just me that saw them attached to the wrong thread. For the last few days my reading - and posting - has been very limited and sporadic. Things are a bit quieter after an extremely busy period so I've done just a bit of catching up! -- -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Exotic plants, shrubs & perennials South Devon |
