Charles R asked:


I have english ivy growing on the side of my two-story brick home. the side has no windows only a very large brick wall with a tall chimney for it to climp up. Will letting this english ivy grow freely without trimming it look bad?
I dont see myself standing on a tall ladder trimming it like somebody said 3 times a year.
What does it look like if you never trim it , unless of course it grows into the gutter I will have the gutter cleaner remove it from there or the chimney cap, but really what is wrong with the natural , informal , freeflowing look of english ivy on the side of a brick two-story house?

george asked:


I am wishing to spread out the English Ivy that I have to cover a larger area.

The area that I already have English Ivy is quite fully covered and by now is clumped up, but I am wishing to extend this Ivy to cover more bare areas.

Is it possible to “propogate” these plants or how exactly could one divide or replant Ivy to save the expense of buying new Ivy plants?

Thanks for your answers!
