Ivy covered tree
I have a vague idea I saw it suggested once that you can take a cutting from the adult flowering part and grow this into a shrubby fruiting plant that doesn't put out climbing shoots. Is that correct, and if so could I grow a few like this to add in an existing hedge? I'd like to include some ivy somewhere for its food/shelter value and this seems an ideal solution. Sue Yes you can grow the fruiting part of the ivy (I call it tree ivy, I don't know if this is correct). I have one, the blackbirds love it but so do wasps and flies in late summer. I think I have seen it several times in the background when gardening progs visit gardens. Beware though it does sometimes send out juvenile growth from the base. |
