Boston ivy plants are perennial, deciduous, broadleaf vines. These plants are true climbers, attaching themselves to masonry and wooden surfaces using holdfasts.
The leaves typically turn green in summer, before reverting to a reddish color in fall. The plants produce inconspicuous flowers, yielding to clusters of dark blue berries. The vine length of mature plants may reach 50 feet or more.
Simply prune away any growth that is out of place (that is, either vines that are sticking out in an unsightly way or vines that have grown beyond the territory that you want them to cover). The vines respond well to pruning, so have no fear!
