The question of circumstance
What is mature ivy?
In its development, ivy passes through 3 successive stages.
1 – dans un premier temps, il rampe sur le sol et forme des racines adventives qui lui permettent de ramper toujours plus loin, formant ainsi un tapis toujours vert. C’est le stade juvénile.
2 – lorsqu’il rencontre un support, il commence à grimper. En lieu et place des racines adventives, il forme des crampons qui lui permettent de grimper toujours plus haut. C’est le stade semi-adulte.
3 – when it sees enough light, it enters its third stage, the adult stage. It now grows horizontal branches, rather like a shrub. In autumn, it flowers in greenish umbels, much appreciated by pollinating and foraging insects. These flowers give rise to berries which gradually ripen over the winter, feeding birds.
Mature ivy is therefore of great interest for biodiversity.
By taking cuttings from the adult stage of an ivy plant, you can obtain mature, shrubby ivy.
