A question of circumstance ...
Ivy's different growth habits?
Ivy’s habit varies from variety to variety. Some will produce long, slender stems with few branches, while others will produce stocky stems with many branches. Some have a spreading habit, while others are upright or erect. Some form a hedgehog-like clump, while others form a carpet. Some form a thick carpet, while others are relatively sparse. Some tend to climb quickly, while others prefer to crawl…
In short, as you can see, it’s not just foliage that differentiates types of ivy. The habit is also a characteristic of each species or variety.
Ivy in literature
“Ivy climbing up the columns of this sanctuary, uniting nature with the divine.”
Chateaubriand, Itinerary from Paris to Jerusalem
