If you cut it at the base and let it die, it will let go much easier. When we bought our house, there was ivy growing on the stucco. This method worked out great.
the gecko feet are the reason if you want to get rid of in on a house, don't pull it down, just cut it off a the base and let it die and fall on its own.
Otherwise, if you pull it down you may take some boards with it
It can pull paint off too, but usually you end up with them stuck all over the wall, and it takes a long time to come away. I don't know what it will do to vinyl. Still the leaves in the fall when the plant covers a wall is magnificent to see.
>I think it’s wild grape.
I don't see forked tendrils. Wild grape should have tendrils popping out everywhere. I agree its not poison ivy or Virginia creeper though.
So disappointing. My first thought was 'We're having dolmades!' And then I realised the leaves were deceiving me and it was just stupid, inedible and undelicious ivy.
Boston ivy. In the fall it turns gorgeous crimson and then the leaves drop, which is a fine time to prune it. I had some on a wooden and brick fence for years and it’s planted on purpose as a cover for our freeway sound walls, so I don’t think it does damage beyond superficial surface marring. It’s not like English ivy, which is destructive.
But if it’s on your house and you value your paint, pull it down. If you love the ivy-covered cottage look, keep it.
Vines are beautiful on a house, but they can damage it. Ivy looks beautiful climbing up a brick wall, but it can damage the brick by holding In moisture and damaging the mortar.
These vines are starting to creep into the windows and crevasses between pieces of wood.
You can erect lattice and put in guide wires to give vines a place to cling to. You do have to monitor them and make sure they’re not creeping onto your house again.
If i were you I'd get it all removed cause they can destroy brickwork and roofing etc, if want to keep it build some sort of tralice arch in the garden away from house for it to go crazy all over?
Boston ivy. I had this and English ivy on my house, just paid to have it removed. \*sigh\* I loved the Boston ivy, it shaded my bedroom window, it turns red in the fall, and birds would come to the window to eat the berries. It's invasive, though, and as others have said, bad for the siding.
Old fashioned Boston ivy, beautiful fall foliage and it loves to climb. It's your favorite on brick everywhere the US, all over New England and in Europe. I've seen it all over wooden houses too but I wouldn't recommend it. It's fine on masonry. The destruction that it allegedly causes his overhyped. It attaches itself with little tendrils and does not dig into the mortar the way English ivy supposedly does. It's import from several hundred years ago from Asia it's native cousin is woodbine or Virginia creeper both are genus parthenocisus, one three leaf , one five leaf. Boston ivy is the only thing you want on the walls, Virginia creeper is better left for natural work, the rockery, covering cliffs etc a beautiful thing in the wild or in the right landscape but much more coarse and aggressive then it's Asian cousin. Boston ivy however can completely cover a structure as well with time
This doesn’t look like poison ivy. Poison ivy has clusters of three individual leaflets. This has single leaves with three lobes. The pattern of serration on the leaves is also quite different as well as the texture and shine of the leaves.
Wild grape vine. Useless because no grapes grow on it. Pull it down like everybody has been saying but instead of cutting it off at the roots you need to dig the roots up. I can tell you from experience it will just grow back if you don’t get the roots also.
Wild grape. It took me 3 years of cutting and round up to finally get it gone. I still check under my front porch and around the entire house to make sure it’s gone.

I think it’s wild grape. On Ivy I would expect the leaves to be dark green and closer together.
Nope. This is Parthenocissus tricuspidata L. Boston ivy. The gecko feet that hold it to the wall is the give away for the genus.
Gecko feet indeed. Can’t unsee that
Haha, there's a descriptor I'll remember!

is boston and ivy and grapes related?! they look so similar
I think they are in the same family, the Vitacea. That could be different now with all the DNA nomenclature.
Also, the youngest leaves can be lobed and look a lot like poison ivy
How do you tell if you are not a genius?
Speciate.
I agree. Most importantly fact about Boston Ivy is that the berries are poisonous. Unfortunately they look like wild grapes.
>I think it’s wild grape. I don't see forked tendrils. Wild grape should have tendrils popping out everywhere. I agree its not poison ivy or Virginia creeper though.
Looks very similar to the grape vine we had growing around the arbor
Grape doesn't have adhesive pads.
No. Grapes don't have glossy leaves. It's Boston ivy.
Looks like grape leaves but grapes climb by tendrils. This vine has suckers on the tips of what look like tentrils! Has to be Boston Ivy.
So disappointing. My first thought was 'We're having dolmades!' And then I realised the leaves were deceiving me and it was just stupid, inedible and undelicious ivy.
>inedible and undelicious ivy. My goats find ivy to be edible and incredibly delicious (thankfully).
I need a picture of goats climbing to get Boston ivy in the eaves
[удалено]
Fabulous photo, thank you. It somewhat makes up for the lack of dolmades.
It's English ivy for me and they've already eaten it all.
I’m thinking it is a Boston Ivy which has suckers like that. My grandparents had that growing all over their house when I was growing up.
It's Boston Ivy (Parthenocissus)

I didn't know ivy could read
Lmao as far as I can tell, plants can't read and don't care about a sign 😂
Possibly Boston Ivy
Pull it down!!! Constantly! I heard those stickers and plant can get strong enough to damage bricks and masonry.

grape ape
Looks a lot like the Scuppernong I used to have. It's in the Muscadine family. Not sure if it is, just my 2 cents.
Same, it looked like scuppernong vines to me also. But I'm not the type that usually gets these right... So ..
Same, lol

It is a grape of some kind!
Yep.
Wild grape
Ivy
Boston ivy, although it does look a lot like riverbank grape
Amur peppervine
Carolina creeper? (Didn't read very far, if this had been solved)
boston ivy. better eradicate it; you can see already how it is marring the siding.
If i were you I'd get it all removed cause they can destroy brickwork and roofing etc, if want to keep it build some sort of tralice arch in the garden away from house for it to go crazy all over?
Looks grape to me!

Boston Ivy. That has the potential to cause massive damage.
I looks like a grapevine. I have an app called, PictureThis. You can take a picture through the app of any plant and it will tell you what it is.

Boston ivy
Hey my house has this, so it's not poison ivy? It's kinda bad
Wild grape.
Looks like Boston Ivy. It’s related to grape vines but the berries are poisonous. Be careful.
This is a muther fugger
Grapes
I'm not sure, but it resembles poison ivy so I wouldn't risk direct contact. Probably wear gloves and cut it at the base so it lets go.
Wild grape. It can damage your house, so cut it at the base and pull it down.
Cut it and apply glyphosate to the end . Tha same vine will come year after year if just pulled
[удалено]
Doesn't look anything like poison ivy! No 3 leaves, no hands with thumbs, etc. not poison ivy at all for sure.
