Hedera helix erecta| <\/em>Tree Ivy (English Ivy) ‘Erecta’ rooted in 4-inch pot [6-12 inches tall]<\/p>\n

Tree Ivy, also known as Bush Ivy, Dwarf Ivy, and Candelabra Ivy, is a slow growing, non-climbing evergreen shrub that grows to 3-4 ft tall with 3-lobed, 1-inch, dark-green leaves arranged evenly on opposing sides of vertical stems, resembling a leafy candelabra.<\/p>\n

It is interesting to note that ‘Tree Ivy’ is merely a mature form of the common English Ivy, Hedera helix<\/em>. When grown in the shade, English Ivy rarely develops into its mature tree-ivy form. It can often live for decades and never transform, and ones that don’t\u00a0will never flower or set fruit. However, English ivy that’s grown in a great deal of sun will literally genetically change to produce upright branches that emulate free-standing shrubs. These strong upright branches cease to exhibit the trailing & climbing habits entirely. When the change does happen though, the genetic transformation is irreversible; the upright portion of the ivy will never change back into a trailing ivy, and if rooted separately, will develop over time into an upright shrub.<\/p>\n

There are many Tree Ivys on the market, but this cultivar here, ‘Erecta , is sterile and will never set seed, making it vastly more preferable over fertile tree-ivies because of their potential to seed into temperate woodlands.<\/p>\n

This is NOT to be confused with the other sterile tree ivy variety called ‘Conglomerata’ which has a more sprawling habit and leaves that are more round and fold upwards.<\/p>\n

Plant in full sun to light shade and water regularly. Tolerates coastal areas and seaside conditions and is hardy to below 0 degrees F.<\/p>\n

‘Erecta’ Tree Ivy is a hard-to-find oddity that makes a fantastic evergreen ornamental plant and creates conversation among garden guests.<\/p>\n
