Questions & Comments

Ivy ruins bricks and the mortar. Virginia creeper does not do that. That is way people let the creeper grow all over a home not to mention the lovely red color in the fall.

This is NOT Virgina Creeper! To me, that stuff is wild out in the woods and this is not. And I like the way it climbs on houses and walls-and it can be cut to where you want it to climg to

Sorry I got confused. But boston ivy and virginia creeper are the same kind plant just a bit different like the shape of the leaf. So your correct when listing it this way.

Mar 12th, 2014 at 5:26:56 PM PDT by

I think Virginia Creeper is much uglier. Boston Ivy is not. And that is what this is. Would you like me to take a picture of these seeds also??

Mar 12th, 2014 at 6:50:48 PM PDT by

Boston ivy is nicer then the virginia creeper. I don't know why I was thinking English ivy cause that is completely different. Sorry I had a bad week. My storage unit is in disarray because of a roof leak and I had some things get damaged and I feel like I am losing my mind. I am just gonna stop commenting until I am myself again :(

...you have gave me a bad week. thanks Mike

She got here apology in private no harm done. I explain my faults and reasons

Mar 14th, 2014 at 9:26:08 PM PDT by

Yes he did, besides he IS very educational on alot of other things, so I dont want to loose him as a friend on here. We talked it out-got it out in the open...we good now, lol

Doesn't look anything at all like virginia creeper to me. Had the "creeper" growing all over the place where I used to live. Sheridanayers, there are ways to block certain people from your auctions if necessary.

Mar 14th, 2014 at 9:21:03 PM PDT by

Aw-I like freedom of expression, and he did apologize, I like his auctions sometimes, no harm done-just having a nice conversation argument online I guess.
We good. It's over now.

Mar 15th, 2014 at 4:57:26 AM PDT by

She will be flirting then with her flowers LOL

Mar 17th, 2014 at 6:15:01 PM PDT by

Lol

Mar 17th, 2014 at 8:49:50 PM PDT by

It was a close call in the beginning LOL She is first now starting to show signs of growth :) She wants to look pretty for the Spring.

Mar 17th, 2014 at 5:47:01 PM PDT by

Wait till this summer-thats when she likes to grow!

Mar 17th, 2014 at 5:59:44 PM PDT by

Look at my profile pic

Mar 17th, 2014 at 4:50:10 PM PDT by

Omgosh! It's so healthy and beautiful!! In the summer, put it ot under a porch, getting more shade than sun during the day, mine got morning sun, then shade the rest of the day, and I would saoked the soil every few days, It just thrived in that! Just bring it during the cold months-and it will bloom pink flowers around November. You have done so well with her!

Mar 17th, 2014 at 5:34:42 PM PDT by

If I had your email I could send you a pic

Mar 17th, 2014 at 12:28:15 PM PDT by

Oh I know what your talking abut-Ihave had this one for many many years-and thats why I also send extra clippings, just in case

Mar 17th, 2014 at 4:41:04 PM PDT by

Of course I remembered :)
So far mine are doing well, with the exception of a few stem deaths LOL but I see they are growing. You know I will be waiting :) and <@@>

Mar 17th, 2014 at 11:29:32 AM PDT by

If you hve any deadness on a stem-just break it at the break points, and it will be all good with whats left.

Mar 17th, 2014 at 11:58:44 AM PDT by

Mar 17th, 2014 at 10:08:11 AM PDT by

Virginia creeper is what this is.
Parthenocissus quinquefolia
Plant
Scientific name: Parthenocissus quinquefolia
Higher classification: Parthenocissus

Mar 11th, 2014 at 7:10:52 PM PDT by

No this is not Virginia creeper. If you look it up, you will see the leaves are very different.

Mar 11th, 2014 at 8:23:33 PM PDT by

This is boston ivy and is in the same family as Virginia creeper with the same Latin name but different a different sub species. English ivy is evergreen

Mar 12th, 2014 at 5:23:08 PM PDT by

ok, ok, ok

couldnt find it

Mar 12th, 2014 at 6:47:03 PM PDT by

This is another case of common names people call things. English ivy is evergreen it is not deciduous ( a plant who's leaves change colors and fall off). Ivy never sheds its leaves it stays green all winter. I google red English ivy and there is no Latin name for it but lots of pictures of virginia creeper people call red ivy. Ivy rarely produces seeds and is cultivated by cuttings. I have extensive nursery experience with these type plants I sold hundreds. Of them. If you feel my advise is unethical rude or just a bunch of bull then I will no longer comment if you ask me too.

Mar 12th, 2014 at 4:58:24 PM PDT by

Well, now that you mention it-I kinda dont like how you keep jumping on my auctions and picking them apart. I like your educational standpoint, but then again, your killing me here.

Mar 12th, 2014 at 6:37:48 PM PDT by

This is Boston Ivy.

Mar 11th, 2014 at 8:26:01 PM PDT by

They produce bluefish berries.( non edible ) in the fall.

Mar 11th, 2014 at 7:13:07 PM PDT by

Google it-and you will see this is not what your calling it. It may change to a red, but the leaflets are shaped absolutely different.
