Parthenocissus tricuspidata Boston Ivy

Boston Ivy, Parthenocissus tricuspidata, is a hardy deciduous climber with outstanding foliage that emerges coppery red in the spring and ages to green as the foliage matures. When autumn arrives, the foliage becomes a blaze of magnificent sunset colours. Excellent for providing summer shade but letting valuable sunlight through in winter as the leaves drop. Best not grown on trees as the dense foliage can stunt tree growth and create long term damage. Prune back as required with heavy pruning in winter. Regular light pruning will keep the plant in good shape.
