I would like to dress the outside walls of my house with a climbing ivy. Does anyone have any shoots that they could share?
Thanks for reading!
Michael

i am waging war on the stuff in our garden, its, er, green and prolific! will gladly maul ahem remove some clipping for you if you like? ive got bags of the stuff that i snipped the other day... about 5 green bags... so more than enough to spare for anybody else interested?? dont think its fussy about where it grows or anything, and its just ur bog standard ivy not the variegated sorts you can get, but if its any use youre more than welcome! lou x (erdington)

We have the variegated type, hedera canaris, growing all over an outhouse and a fence - lots of it, and you'd be welcome to as much as you can carry. It roots very easily but needs to be watched as it soon covers everything! We're in Witton, B6.

Hi Keith,
That sounds ideally what I was looking for. I'm in Sutton Coldfield. Is it possible to come over later in the week?
Thanks again,
Michael

Hi Michael,
Yes, that'd be fine, any time Wednesday morning onwards.
Anyone else want any? There's plenty!
Keith

Hi Keith,
Could you PM me with the address & a contact number. I will try and get over tomorrow but we are having pictures taken for an article on Gardening Exchange for the Sutton Observer.... I will try and arrange a time once that is done.
Cheers!
