Ivy Review.

2-5-12 SHORT HILLS: It has turned cold again, but stayed sunny and seasonable. It continues to be a mild February. I haven’t seen any sign of croccus, but star-of-Bethlehem has sent up some foliage.

During the fall I noticed that the English ivy growing on a black pine was flowering and attracting many pollinators. How could anyone forget that post? If you did forget the date, it was 10-19-11. Anyway, I went back to look a few days ago and some berries have formed, they are still green and should ripen to a dark blue.



Green berries formed on some of the flowers.
