ENGLISH IVY--BRICK

English Ivy should NOT be allowed to grow on brick buildings as the roots will eat away at the mortar, causing bricks to crumble and fall, especially if the mortar has started to crumble.

As an alternative, Boston Ivy can be used IF vines are removed from the buildings each spring.
