Ivy

16 years ago

We have ivy in several different section of our garden. One grouping got realy hard hit this winter. Much of it is discolored. I'm finally seeing some new growth. This hasn't happened before. Should I cut down the discolored parts or just leave it to its own devices?

If it were me, I would cut away anything burnt looking, at least the leaves. If the vine is healthy looking, it will probably leaf out again but they come back well enough, even if you chop those too.
