The question of circumstance
What is mature ivy?
As it develops, ivy goes through 3 successive stages.
1 - Initially, it crawls on the ground and forms adventitious roots that enable it to crawl further and further, forming an evergreen carpet. This is the juvenile stage.
2 - When it encounters a support, it starts to climb. Instead of adventitious roots, it forms spikes that enable it to climb higher and higher. This is the semi-adult stage.
3 - when it can see enough light, it enters its third stage, known as the mature stage. It now has horizontal branches, rather like a shrub. In autumn, it flowers in greenish umbels that are much appreciated by pollinating and foraging insects. These flowers give rise to berries that gradually ripen over the winter and are eaten by birds.
Adult ivy is therefore of great interest for biodiversity.
By taking cuttings from the parts of an ivy plant corresponding to the adult stage, we obtain adult ivy of the shrub type.
