Parthenocissus tricuspidata - grows like a weed. I bought it at a decent size (around 3' tall). All I really had to do was keep it from dying :)
They make decent houseplants anyway, if you keep it pruned. You need to give it lots of bright light, same as your herbs. They may hurt the brick of walls. It can and will damage brick over time. The way the ivy attaches itself to the brick is by rooting itself in the mortar and brick, creating small holes that will allow for water infiltration. This can cause cracking, spalling and mortar falling out.
Put your ear to the wall where it is planted. If the brick is in pain you'll be able to hear it screaming. Lol.
Below is the picture I have taken the last, I hope it grows as fast as the people number of comments increasing on this post. I wonder any of them truly loves gardening, they are just copying and pasting the content in order to gain an up vote from you. Anyway whatever you are doing for this amazing community and minnow is really appreciated, I would suggest you to host a real competition where participants has to do some activity related to planting or cleaning of the tree.
Thanks for your comment. Even thought many pics are copied and pasted, they still add to the quality of the post and also add to the info that a reader can gain from the post. Effort is still needed to find the pics, and many do write original comments, like you have. This is what i seek to reward.
