	Ivy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hedera (English name ivy (plural, ivies)) is a genus of about ten species of climbing or ground-creeping evergreen woody plants in the family Araliaceae, native to the Atlantic Islands, western, central and southern Europe, northwestern Africa and across central-southern Asia east to Japan.
		Ivies are very popular in cultivation within their native range, both for attracting wildlife, and for their evergreen foliage; many cultivars with variegated foliage (photo, right) and/or unusual leaf shape have been selected.
		Much has been argued as to whether ivy climbing trees will harm the tree or not; the consensus in Europe is that they do not harm trees significantly, though they may compete for ground nutrients and water to a small extent, and trees with a heavy growth of ivy can be more liable to windthrow.

	English Ivy- Plant of the Week
		English Ivy is a rampant vine that will creep across the ground until it finds something to climb, and then it’s off like a rocket up the tree trunk or wall.
		Ivy climbs, not by twining, but by modified stem roots that form a suction-cup structure known as a "hold fast." These suction cups adhere to about anything from tree bark to bricks and remain in place when the ivy is ripped down.
		Ivy that is allowed to climb trees will develop a thick trunk, often the size of a man’s arm, and quickly invade the canopy of the tree.
