I'm all envy here in southern California. Thanks for the burst of fall color.

Thanks for the treat! <BR/><BR/>Funny thing about thing about this..When we see vines growing up trees, the first thing that going through our mind is, "Oh no, it's poison ivy!" Then when we get a closer look, what a relief to find that it's Virginia Creeper. :) I haven't seen the masses of color though that you have shown. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516007107983191206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31803386.post-37941270638985734882008-11-03T02:28:00.000+01:002008-11-03T02:28:00.000+01:00I love Virginia Creeper.

I have to hack it back all summer, but it's worth it for the week or two of spectacular color in the fall.<BR/><BR/>We inherited ours when my DH and I bought our house over a dozen years ago. There is a 75 year old pecan tree in our back yard that is quit covered with it, head to toe on the trunk and larger branches. It has been that way ever since we moved in, and doesn't seem to mind the vine at all. The vine itself is as big around as a wrist, so it's pretty old, too.Susan Tomlinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01532464326705599296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31803386.post-11788772597045224112008-10-31T11:11:00.000+01:002008-10-31T11:11:00.000+01:00I just love autumn colours.

I usually leave it until after its autumn display, then during the winter we go around all the trees where it is growing heavenward, and clip it at the ground. Next spring it starts over again. Another one I like is called Boston Ivy. The new growth on that one is lovely and delicate.Barbee'https://www.blogger.com/profile/11316077390373348067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31803386.post-3895379136394933432008-10-25T22:00:00.000+02:002008-10-25T22:00:00.000+02:00Those are some great drapy colors.Those are some great drapy colors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31803386.post-23494040245400048052008-10-25T21:22:00.000+02:002008-10-25T21:22:00.000+02:00I didn't realize Virginia Creeper grows in Italy. ...I didn't realize Virginia Creeper grows in Italy.
