Tree Ivy Secrets
The bittersweet’s almost gone. However, there are still rosa multiflora rose hips, junipers, hollies, hawthorns and a few sad-looking crabapples to tide the birds over. And there are the berries of the English ivy (Hedera helix) pictured here on a garden wall in my neighborhood, just before Friday’s gift of 6 inches of new snow.
While birds may leave English ivy until there’s almost nothing else left, humans adore it.
