This semi-evergreen vine has dark green leaves that are usually lobed and divided into 3 leaflets. Clings with both tendrils and adhesive-like tips that cements itself to all manner of surfaces. Leaves turn orange or red in autumn. Flowers are inconspicuous. During fall, small blue black berries appear to the delight of birds. This vine can grow 50'-60' long but it really depends on what it is growing on. This vine is aggressive.
Boston ivy is a little slow to start, but once its established, grows quickly, covering small buildings and unmoving objects in its path. Pruning hard helps control size, but eventually it will send out new sprouts. Not a vine for a small space.
