Parthenocissus
tricuspidata ~ Boston Ivy, Japanese Creeper |
| Parthenocissus
tricuspidata is a vigorous enthusiastic plant. Think carefully
before allowing Boston Ivy to consume a large structure.
Parthenocissus tricuspidata will run if the stems touch the ground.
Boston Ivy will cover windows and vents. The little attachment
suckers are really difficult to remove. It will climb a tree if you
ever turn you back on it. Roofing materials are never the same once
the vines have been pulled off. Even with all of that said. I
plant Boston Ivy regularly. I love the Fall color. The easy maintenance,
once you have resigned yourself to its failings, and keep it out of
high places makes me keep putting in more. Boston Ivy can make even
the most oppressive wall beautiful. Parthenocissus
tricuspidata will look great if there is adequate water, and does quite
well even in shady locations. We are unlikely to have enough chill
to present a problem. Foliage will often burn on south facing
exposures if there is not adequate moisture.
